Many congratulations to the Stanton Juniors Team who have won their division in the Notts Union of Golf Clubs Junior Interclub Leagues and hence gained promotion to Division 2 next season. Starting with a whitewash home win against Newark in their first match, Stanton maintained their dominance in their league throughout the season, only losing one match to Wollaton Park away. Their final match, against Edwalton away, also resulted in a whitewash win.

Leader of the pack, ever-improving James Hernon, the Juniors' Captain, led by example and was undefeated in all of his matches - a string of excellent results against some very talented opposition. Most of James' matches were won out in the country - he must have access to a good coach!

A special mention must be made of our two Junior Girls, Emily Walden and Esme Hamilton, who were also undefeated throughout the campaign. Stars of the future, for sure!

Last but not least, ever-present Sam Horsley scored 6½ points out of  a possible 7 - another highly commendable performance.

The success of our Junior Team is attributable not only to all the players, but to the organisers and backroom staff who have contributed in no small way to the Team's achievements. The Club owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to all concerned, especially Joe Stocker and Bridgett Patrick, who have devoted many hours of their time, both on and off the course, to our Juniors.

Full InterClub individual results are available for viewing in the Juniors' Section.

Congratulations again to Stanton-on-the-Wolds golfer Charlie Banks who, fresh from his recent win in the Scottish Seniors Open Amateur Stroke Play Champion, has been selected to represent England Seniors in the Seniors Home Internationals at Woodhall Spa GC on the 13th - 15th September, 2011.

Inaugurated in 2001, the annual round robin series of matches between Scotland, England and Ireland and Wales, is for Senior Amateur Golfers (55 years and over) selected by their respective Home Union. Each team is represented by seven players who play three foursomes and six singles on each of the three days of competition.

A former England international and Brabazon winner, this is the first year for Charlie amongst the senior ranks.

All his friends and supporters at Stanton wish him well. Woodhall Spa is not that far from Stanton, so should anyone fancy a drive over there to see some of the best senior amateur golfers in the UK, their presence would be much appreciated.

The Club is delighted to announce that Uxello has been chosen to design the new web site for Stanton-on-the-Wolds Golf Club.

During the selection process, several potential suppliers were contacted, and within a short time two were placed on a shortlist and invited to demonstrate the capabilities of their systems. After seeing these "road shows" and contacting other clubs already using these systems, it was decided to award the contract to Uxello Web Site Design and Hosting, run by Richard Smith, of whom all clubs who responded to the questionnaire, could not speak highly enough.

We sincerely hope you enjoy exploring our new web site.
