The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Teenage Spalding Golf Club members Tilly Garfoot and Tilly Kedzlie enjoyed a successful time representing Lincolnshire ladies at the Midlands North Region county finals.
A series of matches against Leicestershire and Rutland, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire over three days resulted in victory for Lincolnshire.
Garfoot, who is 16, and 18-year-old Kedzlie now move forward with Lincolnshire to represent the region at the national finals in September.
Posting on social networking site Twitter, Garfoot said: “So proud to be part of the winning team for the Midlands North Region county finals. Bring on the nationals!”
- A Spalding team consisting of Simon Richardson, Hugo Kedzlie and Tommy Hull visited Kenwick Park in the latest round of the Bramley Trophy.
In a closely fought contest Spalding eventually ran out 2-1 winners. The talented team now have a home semi-final match against Belton Park Golf Club at the Surfleet course on July 16.
- A total of 74 players contested Spalding’s Seniors’ Monthly Medal last Tuesday, with Mark Craig and John Beba the divisional winners.

All Spalding pairings performed well, which resulted in a 6.5-0.5 win for Spalding in what was their best result to date.
- Last Thursday saw captain for the day Jim Dobson take a team of Spalding seniors to Sleaford Golf Club.
His team talk must have been inspiring as he led them to an excellent 5.5-2.5 win.
