A super day at Wallasey for the U14's and a hole in one! Fine weather, superb hospitality, a hole-in-one, a junior giving 33 shots and winning. Overall, the teams were tied 5-5. A BIG thank-you to Ben (Keegan) Wallasey's junior organiser & to the club, we were regally entertained. The highlight of the day goes to James (Harrison) with his first ever hole-in-one. I'm sure it's also the first one we've had in the many years of running the U14s. Ryan (Young) had a mountain to climb today, giving away 33 shots. He won 5/4, well done Ryan. Overall, we gave 121 shots, receiving none. The day was a great experience for both teams with the overall score a very acceptable draw, 5-5.

As always, my thanks to my colleagues Mike (Jones) & Jim (McBride) & we were delighted that our deputy president, Stewart (Neil) came along to support the team throughout the day. Our president, Marjorie (Griffiths) was also in attendance, however, she was there to support the County ladies playing against a Liverpool University team. To host both matches today at Wallasey speaks volumes for the support the club gives so generously to Cheshire. Thank you Wallasey golf club for fabulous day.

Cheshire Golf is sorry to learn of the death of Jean Payne. Jean was involved with Cheshire Ladies Association for many years including Representative for the Northern Counties from 2017 to 2024 when she took up the role of Cheshire Captain. Jean was the last Cheshire Captain of the Cheshire Association. An advocate for women’s and girls’ golf, Jean was always available to support our County. Once we unified, Jean held the role of Clubs Director, until recently. Jean was admired and respected. As well as her work with Cheshire Golf, she was involved with the Territorial Army and served on the front line in the War Zone in Bosnia. Jean enjoyed orienteering and was captain of Upton by Chester Golf Club in 2003. Jean gave so much of her life to Cheshire Golf. A very kind person and who will be missed by so many.
