Australian Spoons 2014
Friday 27th June saw the Midland North Regional Final for the Australian Spoons, at Wollaton Park Golf Club. The day dawned quite wet, with a threat of thunder and lightning .....not what we had wanted. It did rain but not too hard, and we escaped the thunder and lightning, although we did have to ask all the competitors to read 'the suspension of play notice', before they went out on the course.
We had 60 entries from the 6 Midland North counties, with 4 pairs pulling out before the day. The winning pair with a score of 41 points, were, Susan Wenlock and Suzanne Burgess from Kibworth Springs in Leicestershire. Their prize, as well as a bottle of champagne, was entry into the National Final at Belton Park in September, including overnight accommodation, dinner and 2 rounds of golf.
In 2nd place with 37 points were Jan Lathbury and Sue Powell from Erewash; 3rd with 36 points were Joanna Burden and Kate Hall Jones from Woodhall Spa, and 4th, with 35 points, Lynne Worden and Donna Cunning from Beedles Lake.

The NCLGA County Championship and Spring Meeting took place at Beeston Fields Golf Club 16th-18th May, 2014.
Defending champion Alex Peters hit the first shot to open the Championship on a glorious sun drenched Friday morning. Some 24 players took part in the Championship playing 36 holes with the top 16 going through to the knock out stages over Saturday and Sunday. A similar number took part in a trial of the new format of the Spring Meeting playing 18 holes. The weather was wonderful and Beeston Fields GC was presented beautifully. Despite some tricky pin placements the scoring was excellent in both sections of the competition.
