National Pairs 2024
72 players (36 pairs) congregated at The Welcombe in Stratford upon Avon

The day started with a difference to our networking meeting. Everyone got an opportunity to introduce themselves in the room and then we went onto power networking table by table… The new format was very well received.

David Harries thanked the 38 members in the room who had shared Golden Tickets in the last 6 months and then a special prize draw for those with 2+ Golden Tickets shared!

And the winner of a Dozen Pro V1 balls was none other than Paul Mortimer who had shared a very impressive 9 Golden Tickets. Thank you Paul on behalf of the community.

And then….onto a “brutal” test of golf…in cold persistent rain…and a golf course that was playing very very long. It was tough…very tough! That’s said the course was in excellent condition and as ever The Welcombe had prepared the course brilliantly for us.

Winners on the day….EVERYONE who completed the course.

In 1st place, scoring a combined 73 points was first timers Siobhan Collyer and Ash Collyer with 73 points….our first female winner of any national event in 11 years.

Siobhan also recorded the best score of the day with 42 points!! Wow!

In 2nd place it was the dynamic duo John Rawlings and Ben Cooper with 70 points
In 3rd place it was Paul Whitfield and Will Clayton with 67 points.

Nearest the Pin on hole 6 was Alex Cameron
Nearest the pin in 2 on hole 15 was Harry Boardman

And a special prize to Tim Elgar who kindly propped up the leaderboard with 18 points
Thank you to everyone who attended, you made the event another special day in the memory books.

As per our personal email to each member, fees will be marginally increased from July 1st. This will offset a small part of the £11.81 cost increase per member we have absorbed over the last year. In return, we are delighted to confirm an additional £750k investment over the next 5 years towards new groups, new opportunities and a state-of-the-art IT back end system.
