This is an Absolutely, fantastic result  for what’s been a busy weekend of Juniors competitions for my experienced Juniors and my young up and coming Juniors.

We entered the Kernow Cup this year, not knowing if we would even be able to field a team, due to where we are with the next Juniors coming through.

We  have a few, who are very keen and now learning how to play matchplay and play in match conditions.  All of this is good for them, when in an environment, where we are encouraging and helping them at this stage.

I am Bursting with joy for you all, as are the rest of those involved.

Bolitho Team Match

Bolitho Team Match
Lost 11/2 – 3

It was a tough ask for 3 of these Juniors who had played the night before and all on a high after the Carlyon Bay win and now teeing off again at 9.30am at St Austell.

As always, some great golf was played and the scores do not reflect the way they all played.

Well done to you all and roll on the home match!

Alfie Chapman is U16’s South West Champion

Alfie Chapman, U16’s South West Champion.
Thursday 28th May

As if the day at Bude, couldn’t get any better, for the U14’s/U16’s Cornwall Team, who won the Southwest Championship for the first time in 14 years!

Alfie came in with the best result, winning with a gross par 68!

What a performance Alfie, excellent scoring and on quite a tricky course, although clearly not for you, or your Team Mates! What next?

Well done to you, and all the Managers, County Coaches, Richard Sadler and Nicolas Brewaeys.
You’re all in good hands.

All results here

What a Day, for the U14’s/U16’s Cornwall Team!

It was 14 years ago when the U14’s/U16’s won the South West Championships and when Harry Hall was a part of that team. So this really is something very special.

The County Managers decided to do an unusual 5/4 split, in favour of the U14’s, which paid off, as the boys beat Devon, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Dorset and Somerset, to go on to win.

What an achievement and one that Cornwall Golf and everyone involved in, should be very proud of.

We have some excellent Juniors coming through at the moment here in Cornwall and with quite a few selected to play here at St EnodocThe futures looking great for Cornwall’s young, up and coming Juniors golfers.

I am so proud of you all and especially our own St Enodoc’s Juniors, Harry Jolliff, Alfie Chapman, Oli Hanton and Will Dingle.

What a win and a well deserved one too, due to all the effort and commitment you all, put in.

The Juniors thoroughly enjoyed their time with Luke,  listening to all the things he had to say and answering some of his questions.
For some lucky Juniors,  they got to join in too!
We would all like to say, THANK YOU, Luke.

Tamar Cup Update

Team B

Tuesday 3rd June at Launceston v Carlyon Bay.

Well done and commiserations to this team, who played some great golf but unfortunately didn’t get the win they’d hoped for.

Bobby and Sam were the foursomes pairings and lost 5&4, Alfie won 2&1 and Oli took his match down the last and fought hard to win the hole, but ended up 2 down!

Oli Hanton, Bobby Godfrey, Sam Hanton and Alfie Chapman.

Team A

Sunday 13th July at St Mellion v Yelverton.

Nerves of Steel that Boy, Harry!
With Jack Jolliff and Jay Dingle winning their foursomes match and Quinn unfortunately losing his singles match,  it was all down to Harry to bring home the win, and boy did he put one and all through it!

Having gone all square on 18, he then headed down the 19th, 20th and both boys halving, it was onto the 21st hole and where Harry needed to get the win as his opponent had a shot.

Harry had a huge drive right down the fairway and then, put his second shot onto the green for a gimme, whilst the opposition ball was now in the bunker!

Harry secured the team victory with a birdie on the 21st hole!

Well done everyone and to Lee Bateman, Team Manager … minus his nails!

Harry Jolliff, Quinn Bateman, Jack Jolliff and Jay Dingle.

Team above r to l – Alfie Chapman, Bobby Godfrey, Oban Robinson, Jack Jolliff and Kai Dingle.

Commiserations to this great team,for fighting so hard to retain the Bolitho Shield against Falmouth.
Sunday 8th June at Trevose.
Very tough finals match that could have gone either way. With both sides needing just one of the last two matches to win.So no pressure, as Bobby Godfrey headed down the 20th and Oban Robinson down the 19th.
Very tense and eye covering moment for all and unfortunately, Falmouth got  the win.
Well done to each and everyone of you, you’re all, always winners in my eyes!
