Avon Schools Championships Results

We had a fantastic day today at Avon Schools Champs at Henbury.

Many thanks to the management and members at Henbury for allowing us the use of their course; to Gary Hawley and his greenkeeping team for their incredible work on the course, presenting it so well, following such tough conditions from the recent bad weather; to the catering and bar team for keeping everyone well fed and watered; to Jamie Cundy and his pro shop team for their support of ball prizes and the players needs today and to Josh North and Jannine Bonham for their support in organising the event.

Thanks to our district schools/colleges for allowing their students to take part in the event, our brilliant referees, Bernie and Bill and starter Gary Ward for the long day of support needed today.

We had a field of 90 players, representing 22 schools/colleges and 28 clubs – just fantastic!

Due to the course conditions, today’s event was a non-qualifier which was a relief for many but disappointing for quite a  number of players. There were some great scores and the prizes were awarded, as below, and the full results are at: Past Competitions (englishschoolsgolf.org)
