We had a fantastic day at Enmore Park for the South West Schools Championship. A massive thank you to all the management, members and staff at Enmore for their wonderful hospitality throughout the long day, and 36 holes of golf. The course was in excellent condition and the players enjoyed it immensely. We were supported by our two brilliant referees, Bernie Powell and Janet Fear , who were kept very busy all day! Stuart Wells, from Somerset Schools, did an excellent job organising the event, and it was a pleasure to support him with it on the day.
