Monday 5th June 2017
SWCGA Mens Championship Week 10th - 16th June 2017 Weston-super-Mare GC
The Cornwall County Mens golf team will head to Weston-super-Mare at the weekend in a bid to qualify for the national finals again this year. After a practice round on Saturday coming they will go into 5 days of 36 hole matchplay against the regions other counties and most importantly on Tuesday 13th June will play in the SWCGA Amateur Championship (36 hole strokeplay) which acts as a qualifier for those national finals. The added incentive for Cornwall is those finals will be at Trevose G&CC in September.
Each County can enter 10 players in the Amateur Championship with additional entries open to individuals.

The Duchy team includes the recently crowned Cornwall Amateur Champion Conor Wilson (Perranporth), beaten finalist Jared Mortimore (Truro), last years champion Joe Cruse (St Enodoc) and the returning from professional status to amateur, Tom Fox (China Fleet).
