In ideal weather conditions at Harewood Downs on 29th July, 60 boys from 55 clubs throughout the Country battled it out for the Douglas Johns Trophy. After another exciting finish, we went into our 4th playoff in 6 years. This time between Nick Ward (Redbourn) and Jack Singh-Brar (Bramshaw). Nick had posted scores of 71and 66 against Jack's 67 and 70. The playoff over 3 holes saw both players make pars at the at the 10th and 18th but Jack's 3 putt at the 16th proved costly and Nick calmly holed a tricky putt at the last to take the title.

We played the first Under 12's Championship at Beaconsfield on 26th July. Sponsored by Luke Donald, it was fitting that the winner was also a Beaconsfield Member. Elliot Wills had an excellent round of 77 to take the title from Sam Boffin (Hadden Hill). There were some really promising youngsters, with great swings and it will be no surprise to see some of them develop into fine golfers once they grow a bit!

Given our combined handicaps, we had high hopes of finishing in a fight for the title at Stoneham on 10th July. However, we finished a distant 9th from 11 having never really come to grips with the fast running course.

The Seniors enjoyed a good win over Hertfordshire at Gerrards Cross on 5th July. Fielding a strong side we won the first 7 games well and only lost the last 3 by the narrowest of margins. We head the League and a win in our last match will see us through to face Sussex in the Final.
