Welcome to Stover Golf Club
GOLF MARK HIGH ACHEIVER AWARD FOR STOVER
Stover Golf Club presented with the Golfmark High Achiever Award gained after much hard work over the last few months and will benefit the club to expand their successful junior section over the next few years benefiting the Club as a whole.
‘It enables us to offer our services to local schools’, says Jason Fullard the teaching professional at Stover. ‘In the first instance our coaching and taster sessions will be free of charge and conducted in the school environment. We have already had two enquiries to schedule our courses and other positive feedback from a number of other schools in our area, its an exciting time for the club. Both myself and Julia Norman will be visiting these schools in the New Year. We have an exciting and fun programme for the kids and its free’.
Stover juniors have had a very successful year with their team, winning the local league, runners up in the county knockout cup, runners up and qualifying in Regional finals for the junior National Team event, and finishing third in the National finals. ‘Over 1800 junior teams started at local levels in this competition and to finish where we did is creditable to all concerned, both in the team and organisers of the junior section’ quotes John Hayman. He goes on ‘ We have organised and arranged many things for our juniors, the exchange visit with two Swedish Clubs now entering its fifth year and the introduction of a Contract for the older juniors to work forty hours on and around the course have both proved extremely successful, we grow from strength to strength and Golfmark will help us to achieve our ambitions’

The Xmas Turkey Trot Greensome any combination was victim of the heavy snow fall at Stover last Sunday and with the car park also being covered in ice and snow the club’s and professional’s Christmas draws were postponed until conditions improve. So Neil Hayman’s year as club captain comes to a snowy end but in his address at the recent AGM he thanked the members for their support throughout the year and that he had thoroughly enjoyed his term of office and the many happy memories would stay with him for ever. The highlights of his year had been a very successful captain’s weekend at the end of May and the captain’s away day at Enmore Park in early September. His final duty as Captain will be on New Years day when he will announce how much money has been raised for the Club’s charity for the year, N.S.P.C.C., and hand over to 2011 Captain Dave Marks.
