Winter Golf Series 2011/2012

Dear One & All

Well done to Josh Greenaway (Bowood GC) who won the 2010/11 WGS Order of Merit ahead of Steve Chapman (St Enodoc GC) who finished in second place.

A big thank you must go to Truro & Penwith College & Gel Golf for the sponsorship of the 2010/11 WGS. A huge thank you to the clubs that allowed us to utilise their great courses during last winter at reduced rates: West Cornwall, Perranporth, Bowood, Trevose & St Enodoc.

The new 2011/12 WGS dates have been set and the events will once again be co-ordinated by Simon Wood - Cornwall Golf Development Officer. Simon did a great job last year and he will be heading up the co-ordination and tournament management this winter.

The 2011/12 dates are as follows:

• Sunday 2nd of October 2011 @ West Cornwall Golf Club  
• Sunday 13th of November 2011 @ St Enodoc Golf Club
• Sunday 4th December 2011 @ Newquay Golf Club
• Sunday 14th January 2012 @ Trevose Golf & Country Club
• Sunday 5th February 2012 @ Perranporth Golf Club
• Match versus Cornwall Pro's - Sunday 4th March 2012 @ Trevose Golf & Country Club

 Entry Fee £16/event. There will be gross & nett prizes at each event.

Hot News: This WGS season we will be opening the events for ALL single figure handicap golfers from Cornish clubs. So whether you wish to get down into 'Category One' or whether you want to beat the County's top amateurs, this is a chance to do just that.

Entries will be on a 'first come, first served' bases so get your entry in quick as we can only accomodate 40 players at each event.

To enter the gross Order of Merit you must play at least three events. A players top three event placings will be calculated for the Order of Merit and the top 8 players (plus 2 wildcards) will play a match in the Spring 2012 against Cornwall Professionals. The Pro's have narrowly won the last two matches so this year it will be third time lucky!

The Order of Merit will have prizes for the top 3 places (Prize fund TBC but it is anticipated that it will be similar to last year).

To enter the first event (2nd Oct @ West Cornwall GC) email Simon Wood with your name, club & current exact handicap & then pay your entry fee on the day.
