Northern Championship Report - 2019

A Great week at Rotherham Golf Club

Our thanks go to Rotherham Golf Club for hosting our 34th Northern Championship.
The course was in very good condition and presented some challenging holes for the 96 participants to negotiate.
We certainly were fortunate with the weather, which was kind all week.
Find all the pictures in the "Gallery" section of the Northern site to get a real feel of our week.
Thanks to Gill Birkby, Liz Hartley and Julia Tate our expert photographers!!

Our thanks also go to the Yorkshire committee for their excellent organisational skills and hard work (mostly unseen) which helped make this championship such a success.
Congratulations too, to all the prize winners and to the 24 ladies who qualified for the matchplay stages.

We watched some excellent matches

There were some very close results in the early stages of the matchplay with two finishing on the 18th and one at the 20th.
Mo Richmond (Cheshire) won her semi-final against Bet Sworovski (Yorkshire) and Caroline Berry (Cheshire) won her match against fellow Cheshire player Cath Rawthore to progress to the final.

There was some superb golf and excellent putting displayed by Mo and Caroline in the afternoon’s final, with Caroline winning the match and being Northern Champion for the 6th time.
Caroline also won the English Senior Women’s Amateur Championship the previous week making it two Championship wins in as many weeks!! Many congratulations Caroline.
Second Flight - Congratulations to Angela Morris (Yorkshire) on winning in the final against Julia Smith also Yorkshire.
Thanks to everyone who came along whether as players, trolley pullers, or as spectators.
