Following on from my last message we are now back on our lovely courses, albeit social golf with restrictions, but I am sure you will all agree we do not mind, better than no golf!It is still difficult to predict ahead and because of that we have sadly taken the decision to cancel the County Shield on July 16 at Huntercombe. Refunds will be processed for those that had already entered. EG hope to run events from the end of July, but no certainty, all depends on this ghastly virus. We do h...

Message from your President Sadly all county fixtures have been cancelled until the end of June due to the Coronavirus, this includes all knockout competitions. I informed all delegates this week to communicate this with club members, we certainly are in unprecedented times and will keep you informed as and when. Meanwhile all keep safe and hopefully we can keep playing, albeit car park to course golf.

Losing semi-finalists were Valeska Maclachlan (Henley) and Derryn Cope (Studley Wood).Many thanks to Cotswolds Club for hosting the final and K...
