Championship Draw
|
 Anthony Hughes (Potters Bar), with a one over par 73, won the Herts Salver at Whipsnade Park Golf Club on 3rd May to lead the 16 qualifiers into the County Championship. On a fine but blustery day, scoring was never easy and rounds of 77 were in the top 16. Second place in the Salver went to Neil Brinkworth (Sandy Lodge) on 74, winning that spot on count-back from Luke Gutteridge (Porters Park). The top sixteen now join the pre-qualifiers in the County Championship at Knebworth commencing on 13th June 2008. A copy of the full results and also the qualifiers may be accessed using the links below. Our picture shows Anthony receiving the Salver from Barry White, Captain of the Hertfordshire Golf Captains and accompanied by Terry Trude, President of the HGU.

The HGU Seniors have now completed their pre-season preparations during which they have played five friendly matches unbeaten. With club games against Moor Park, Berkhamsted and South Herts all resulting in wins, they turned their attention to two county teams. At Hammonds End on 2nd April, Northants were the visitors and this resulted in a thumping 11-1 win for Herts.On 18th April we entertained Cambridgeshire at Brickendon Grange and a keenly fought battle resulted in a 9-9 draw. Excellent results which bode well for the forthcoming season which kicks off in earnest on 20th May at Verulam with our first league match against Bedfordshire.

 On a stormy wet day at South Herts on 27th April 2008, the West Herts team of County Captain James York (72), Greg Schmidt (74) and Tom Speyer (77) returned a team total of 223 to snatch the title by two shots from second place Hartsbourne Country Club (Michael Charles, Jeremy Bohn and Mark Gershinson). Letchworth (David Tandy, Joe Smith and Ben Harman) were a further two shots off the pace on 227. A storm delay of nearly two hours meant that the event was reduced to 18 holes but some fine golf was played in very difficult conditions. The best round of the day went to Matthew Wallace (Batchworth Park) who shot a gross 70 against a CSS which went up to 74 on the day. The winning team are pictured with County President Terry Trude who, I think you will agree, seems to be 'growing up' in the job!

Start Times

 Glen Portelli (Brickendon Grange), winner at Batchworth Park in 2007, played excellent golf to retain his title as Boys Champion with scores of 70 and 68 for a 138 winning total. Tom Lewis (Welwyn Garden City) led the field with a morning 69 and, but for a dropped shot at the 36th hole, played outstanding golf to push Glen all the way. Tom finished with a 70 and a 139 total. In third place was Sam Claridge (Harpenden Common) on a total of 143. The overall standard of golf throughout the day was excellent and many competitors can be pleased with their performances. The event was superbly hosted by Mill Green Golf Club who provided every hospitality and a good test of golf in these difficult early conditions. Our pictures show the winner(s) receiving the trophies from President Terry Trude accompanied by Club Captain Gwn Ellis.

Excellent performances from two very promising Hertfordshire golfers.
