Atherstone Ladies gave it 'a good go' in the Final of the Warwickshire Inter Club League which was played at Handsworth Golf Club on Monday 26th September.

All the matches were extremely close but unfortunately Kenilworth were the victors on this occasion, but praise and congratulations should be given to the everyone in the team who either played in a league match or in the final itself - this is a great achievement for such a small section (especially with the restrictive handicap allowance set by Warwickshire!)

Well done Ladies

Captains Blog – September 2022

Well, the nights are drawing in and winter golf (pick & place) is with us on 1^st October, doesn’t seem 5 minutes since September arrived following the dry months of July and August.

It’s been a traumatic month for this nation with the loss of our beloved Queen Elizebeth II,

our 10 days morning culminated in a funeral ceremony that only the United Kingdom excel in.

“GOD SAVE THE KING”

AGC golf course has benefited with the rain we are now getting and has turned from white to green in next to no time, I hope our new flag system is going down well.

Golf this month started with our annual Ladies v Gentlemen which was postponed from June, if I don’t announce the result my life will be forfeited LOL, Ladies 5 – 0 Gentlemen.

This was followed by a tribute to former member Kev Powell, another great day of golf and evening entertainment well organised by Martin McCracken and his team.

Immediately followed by AGC Mens Open, won this year by Dave Brotherhood & Derek Cox, thanks to Phil for the day.

During September we had our Geoff Freeman Texas Scramble, Geoff was a former Captain & President of this great club, well done Malc Clark another great days golf.
