We had a wonderful day yesterday at Burford Golf Club hosting The Nicola Sparks' Memorial Competition with 12 girls playing in the 3 categories.

Congratulations to Faith Trinder who won our Summer Meeting which was held at Feldon Valley Golf Club on Monday 24th July.  Following the heavy rain at the weekend which proved challenging for the Professionals I was dubious as I drove up the M40 in the pouring rain. However the rain stopped and the clouds thinned and a wonderful afternoon of golf followed. We had a very small group this year but they more than made up for it with their scores.  It seems that the new irons were ...
