Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Kevin Lavery & Martin McCririck lost 2&1 in their semi-final of the
County Juniors Mixed Foursomes.
They came up against a strong pairing from Roseberry Grange, and having to give them seven shots
on their own course, proved too big a hurdle to overcome.
Many congratulations to them for progressing so far in the competition, a fine achievement.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:

Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.

I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:

Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:

Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:

Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:

Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Dear Phil & Sue
I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.
Best regards

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Dear Phil & Sue
I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Dear Phil & Sue
I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Dear Phil & Sue
I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:

• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs

The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.

I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:

Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:

• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs

The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.

Dear Phil & Sue
I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),

Dear Phil & Sue
I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and

The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),

The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach

Dear Phil & Sue
I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

I have just read your monthly news letter, very 'newsy', and we will look forward to it in the months ahead.
Been home now just over a month, but haven't played a lot of golf as it has been very wet under foot, but we did both play today, not so good mind, but it was 25 deg', and good to get out.

Golfmark
Golfmark is a national scheme, which identifies and recognises junior and
beginner friendly golf facilities.
Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

The following games are yet to be played in Div 1 of the North Durham Union League
Wearside v Durham City (playing 28th August)
Boldon v Heworth
Consett v Seaham
Whickham v South Moor
At the top of the table, South Moor need to win away at Whickham by 10 points to win the
league, otherwise Whickham are Champions.
At the bottom, Boldon are relegated and either Consett, Heworth or (less likely) Seaham will go down with them.
Most likely scenario is that South Shields will finish in 5th position.

Any golf club affiliated to the EGU/ELGA may apply to gain the Golf Mark Award and
South Shields Golf Club is working towards that goal.
The three key areas of development are:
• Coaching and playing
• Club environment
• Child protection and duty of care
If you want to find out more about Golfmark and see a list of the clubs
in the region that have already gained the award, go to:
www.golfmark.org
Another interesting site to visit is
www.englandgolfpartnership.com
where you can see why our club needs to
develop new ideas and strategies in line with national aspirations.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union (EGU),
English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) and the PGA with the support of the
Golf Foundation & Sport England.
The partnership’s main focus is 'Growing the Game' through a co-ordinated approach
which makes the best use possible of existing networks in golf.
Read the “Impact Report” published in June 2008 to see how much progress
has been made to encourage growth in golf throughout the country in the past 3 years.

At the bottom, Boldon are relegated and either Consett, Heworth or (less likely) Seaham will go down with them.
Most likely scenario is that South Shields will finish in 5th position.
