So, how did OLCGA do at CMW2025?
Hello everyone, trust you are enjoying a good summer of golf. Thank you, belatedly, for all the well wishes and interest in this year’s CMW 2025 event. As many of you know, it’s a full on experience.
This year’s CMW was a pretty tough gig for us. Although the standard of opposition continues to improve year on year, we had a good team, had spent time on the course, were on good form after the County Champs and had high hopes going into the event.

My summary - the course was physically demanding, the greens and pins were mentally challenging, and as a team we probably didn’t manage to play to our full potential (it happens in golf, and reflects no lack of desire, effort or will to succeed from anyone over the three days).
I am very proud of a team that stuck together, kept its collective chin up, and fought hard all the time despite that. There were some good battles out there each day, and we loved watching Laura Watkins win on her return to the side, and rookie Charlotte delivering a victory too. We also appreciated all the support from caddies and others throughout. We are fortunate in that respect.
And finally, my thanks to Caroline Johnson and Nikki Halsall who stepped up and helped me out this year as VCs, and will continue to do that for the rest of the year. They did me a huge favour, and will leave those roles come November, leaving me to continue for a second year as Captain in 2026.
