SLCGA
Festival of Golf 2024
Congratulations to our junior girls that took part in this years Festival of Golf held at Branston Golf and Country Club earlier this month.
This day event holds the final of the MNR (Midland North Region) matches of both the scratch league and handicap league teams, with adventure golf fun challenges and 9-hole Stableford competitions for players with new handicaps and those with no current handicap. A day to experience and enjoy.
The MNR comprises of the 6 following counties: Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire and Staffordshire. Throughout the season each county has played their league matches running up to this date ready to play the final match to see who will become the league winners.
Play got underway on time only for the players to be called off the course shortly afterwards due to rain, thunder and lightening. Thankfully play resumed quite quickly, 15 minutes after, once the all clear was given with no further interruptions of the day.
The scratch team comprised of Mia Sepe, Mia Perks, Sophie Thomas, Kieran Bains and Mia Gregory and played against Nottinghamshire. A great match resulting in a draw. The handicap team of Kennedy Murphy, Molly Calder, Molly McMurray and Emilia Ward played against Lincolnshire and had to give Lincolnshire a 1 - 0 start due to us being a player short. Having said that, they put in a fantastic performance and came out on top with a winning 3 - 2 result.
Once again everyone who took part enjoyed the day and enjoyed being part of the county juniors. We are very proud of all the girls who took part, taking on the challenges the day threw at them and seeing them deal with this with the confidence that has been growing all season.
After completing their matches everyone took part in the adventure golf challenges, a great fun way to finish the day.
A huge thank you to the organisers of this years event, Derbyshire, and to all the volunteers who made themselves available to help with the running of the day.
Finally, a big thank you to our Junior Organiser Louise Manning and her team on the day of Glennis Dawes, Therese Douglas and Helen Peters. Also thank you to the support from our County President Annette Deeley and Hon. Sec Noel Mack and of course not forgetting the parents and guardians of our young players.
