with the prize giving and of course all the Surrey volunteer helpers who worked hard to
ensure the event was a total success.
A special thanks also to the Shirley Park members who not only gave up their course for the
day but made everyone feel so welcome, as did the staff in the Pro shop and the clubhouse
who looked after us all so well.
Finally congratulations to Joe Wood the Surrey County U13 & U14 Champion of 2015
The Stevens Cup (U16) and the James Heath Trophy (U15)
The U16 and U15 Championships are played together and this was hosted at Reigate Hill Golf
Club on the 3rd August.
Alfie (Roehampton) was the joint leader after the first round with a score of 70 with Angus
Flanagan (St Georges Hill) and this is against a CSS of 71.
Kevin (Cuddington) was a few shots back on 76.
Kevin closed the gap in the afternoon with an excellent gross 69 (CSS 70) but Alfie managed
to hold him off with a gross 73.
Alfie won with a combined score of 143 with Kevin second on 145 but he does win the
U15 Championship.
The standard of golf was excellent and this puts Surrey in a strong position for the future with
so many good players in this age group.
Both Alfie and Kevin are part of the U16 League team and will also represent older age groups
over the coming weeks.
Kevin is our U15 Captain and will lead the side against Wales on Sunday 23rd August.
Well done to both winners and all the other players that took part.
We must also thank Reigate Hill as an excellent venue and they are very supportive of Surrey
Juniors.
The Millard Quaich U18 Championship
On a perfect Spring morning at Purley Downs Golf Club last Thursday, the best forty young
golfers in Surrey set out to play two rounds to decide who is to be the Junior Champion of
Surrey for 2015.
Previous winners have included Peter Oosterhuis and Warren Humphreys, both currently TV
golf commentators, Paul Casey who tied 6th place in the US Masters this week, and Terry
Nicholls, whose mother is the Office Manager at the Club.
The course had been specially prepared with fast and true greens which some found tricky,
