Junior Jubilee and Presentation 2019
A fantastic day for the 2019 Junior Jubilee, our celebration of our golfing year. We played an Am/Am at Norwood Park in glorious sunshine and congratulations must go to all the girls who scored incredibly well in difficult conditions. Well done to the winning 18 hole team of Elizabeth Smith, Freya Keal, Safi Durrant and Ava Waplington, who narrowly beat Lucy Bradshaw, Madeleine Smith, Annie Bowman and Lucy Holbrough into second place. It was very close between all 4 teams and really demonstrated the strength of the Notts squad this year. In the par 3 competition Maya Kubba, Millie Marsh and Yara Kubba took first place with all girls showing just how well they have progressed during the year.
The evening presentation of certificates and re-presenting of trophies and awards won throughout the year was amazing with a prize table showing a small sample of the numerous awards received during the year. Captain Lucy Holbrough gave a fantastic speech and they said a sad farewell to our retiring County President Maureen Clarke who has been a wonderful supporter of the coaching sessions and competitions throughout the year.
Susie and Suzi would like to congratulate all the girls on an amazingly successful year and wish you all the very best in 2020.
The second round of matches in the MNR Junior League took place at Lincoln GC on 28th July. In the morning match we lost narrowly to Lincolnshire 3 : 2 but turned it around in the afternoon to defeat Leicestershire by the same margin. Well done to all of the girls who played.
Congratulations to Leonie Muir, of Wollaton Park GC, who finished in 3rd place in the Scottish U16 Girls Open at Elgin Golf Club, with a score of 1 over par gross and only 3 shots off the lead. She also won the nett competition with a nett score of 9 under par, resulting in a drop in her handicap, to 4. It's lovely to see her proudly wearing her Nottinghamshire shirt.
Some people might remember Sunday the 14th for Djokovic winning Wimbledon, some may remember it as the day England won the Cricket World Cup, but WE will remember it for an amazing day of golf for Notts in the Midlands North Junior League at Norwood Park Golf Course! Special thanks to Maureen the County President and Carol our County Captain for supporting us on the day. The team was also well supported all day by friends and family all in red (eventually) following Sue’s orders! 
The first MNR match for the Handicap team took place against Leicestershire on 28th April at Rothley Park. The match resulted in a 4-1 win for Nottinghamshire. Well done girls!
Last year’s winners were:
The first match of the season, and first outing for Paddy the mascot, was the 2nd Team friendly against Mapperley Ladies, which was played on Thursday 11th April. This resulted in a 3-0 win for the juniors. Well done to all who played and many thanks to Mapperley GC for their hospitality and continued support of the junior section.
The Nottinghamshire Schools championships were held at Sherwood Forest GC on Friday 12th April. It was a brilliant day with 11 entries from girls. The gross winner was Amelia Wan and the nett winner was Jorja Newbold. Amelia, Jorja and Maddie Smith will go forward to represent Notts in the Midlands Competition. There was also a hole in one for Lexi Williams-Green! It was a week of tumbling handicaps - the girls have worked so hard on their game over the winter.
There was an excellent atmosphere at the first Squad Training of the year. Girls of all abilities and experience met to chat and catch up before they attacked the driving range. Richard Strange our County coach wasn't phased by the excitement but found that an awful lot of golf balls were used by 24 girls desperate to get a ball through the rugby posts!! Geoff the barman was great and never batted an eyelid when I asked for '26 hot chocolates in five minutes time please'.
Our new Junior Captain Lucy, modelled the new kit so look out for us on the course in our bright red shirts. My special thanks to Suzi Anderson, Maureen and Michael Clarke, Di Payne, Richard Strange for their help and support, and once again thanks to our parents with their amazing offers of help in the year to come.
