Returning to Fulwell is always a pleasure. This historic club is located in the heart of Richmond and is a golfing oasis with its array of beautiful trees. .
The weather on tournament day, although slightly cooler than of late, still presented challenging conditions. Periodical strong gusts of wind meant that distances and shot selection was difficult. As always the field of students rose to the occasion and played superbly .
The recent lack of recent rain also presented a challenge to players . The fairways were extremely hard and fast, meaning that players were able to extend their range but at the same time needing their best ball control. The greens, beautifully manicured, were also extremely fast. These conditions suited some better than others – but that’s golf for you.
We had 60 children playing in this competition and we were pleased with their reports that they had an excellent time at Fulwell, working hard to gain that last place at the National Finals.
Here are a few snaps from the day:
