Midlands Boys’ Championship Thanks to Bob Davies for the following; It is a tribute to Shrewsbury Golf Club that we have been selected to host a prestigious event - the Midland Boys’ Amateur Championship. It will be staged on Thursday, 4th July and provides a great opportunity for our members to see some of the most skilful young golfers from around the country in action at our club. It will be interesting to see how difficult - or otherwise - these talented youngsters find the course. I would urge anyone who is available to support the event so that, perhaps in years to come, they can point to a player making his mark on the European Tour and say “I remember the day he played at our club.” The competition will be played over 36 holes and competing will be some of the most talented young golfers in the country.
Men’s Handicap League Thanks to Ade Price for the following; Shrewsbury Golf Club versus Church Stretton was the latest Handicap League fixture. The weather was kind when we started, after an hour the 'weather turned' and I have never seen horizontal rain like it! Even the local sheep seemed dejected!! After battling through the elements, Shrewsbury ran out as winners, 3.5-2.5, a fantastic result! I would personally like to thank all the players who tuned out, in particular Malcolm Ibbotson who stepped in literally 2 hours before the match!! Played two won two, fixtures remaining are Oswestry away and home, dare we believe we can qualify!! Of course we can!!
