OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP QUALIFIERS: Congratulations to Sam Matton (Bowood) and Ben Stow (Rushmore) who have succeeded in reaching the final qualifying stages of the Open Championship.  Sam was joint runner up at Enville with a gross 70 and Ben, our Junior Captain this year, shot 69 at Ferndown to be equal 3rd. On to the Local Final Qualifiers on 6-7th July with a place in the Open Championship at Turnberry alongside the golfing greats at stake. Ben will be playing Glasgow Gailes and Sam will be in action at Western Gailes.  Good luck guys! More details here.

 

EGU COUNTY FINALS:  Wiltshire have qualified at Broadstone for the third year in a row as the South West representatives at the English County Finals. An aggregate score for the 6 man team with morning and afternoon scores counting was 841, only 1 over par and beating the nearest challengers, Cornwall by 11 shots. Leading scorer was Ben Loughrey with 66 and 69. The Captain, Ali James, who chose not to play and encourage the team from the sidelines was "over the moon". Not the most original quote but summing up the mood. More.

County Championship  Matt Swales is the new Wiltshire County Champion, adding to the Colts Championship won on the first 36 holes. After a course record 61 at Chippenham on the Saturday, Matt added another course record, a 63 at Marlborough on the afternoon of the second day.
