The Jubilee retained after shocking weather
Each year since 1977, we have played a 2 day match against Stourbridge, the 2 day event is played with a wonderful spirit and is always great fun with our neighbours. This year we played Stourbridge on the Saturday and the course was in excellent condition. In the morning, the scores were rolling in nicely with the Stourbridge members shooting some amazing scores. Then the weather came down late afternoon with thunderstorms and torrential rain, everyone left on the course had to come in and wait for the weather to subside before finishing off their rounds.
Sunday of the Jubilee saw everybody come back to play Kidderminster, the course was looking excellent after heavy rain during Saturday and overnight. The start of the day went well and the first dozen teams came in but then the weather set in flooding the course very quickly, in the end everyone retuned to the clubhouse as the greens became unplayable.
We had to make many changes to how the vouchers were paid out due to having only a few teams return both days scores. In the end we made the best out of a difficult situation.
Congratulations to our boys, Neil and Callum for winning the two day event and to Kidderminster for winning the team trophy.
I hope everyone who played the event enjoyed the two days and let's hope next year we can fill the start sheet in what's a great two days played by two great golf clubs. Scores from the jubilee right.

Our Junior Academy is going from strength to strength
The junior academy on a Saturday morning has been a wonderful success for both the golf club and myself. It's always quiet through the summer holidays but we are still getting 20 to 25 children. September will be busier when they return from holidays. We are always trying to make the Saturday sessions more exciting. Take a look below at some of our games.
