Our Junior Development Officer, Tim Ewer, spent a day visiting Slade School in Tonbridge earlier this month and ran a fun and successful golf taster session for almost 100 pupils across the year 2 and year 5 groups. Several of the pupils from year 5 showed great potential even though it was their first time trying golf, and have asked about possible local academies in their area to continue their interest in golf.

The school itself is very strong in the PE development side, offering most sports to its pupils, and actually has a lot of golf equipment already on site and PE staff who have undertaken training, which bodes very well for the future.

Many thanks to the staff and pupils at Slade School for their very warm welcome. We would be very interested in a return visit.

Dartford Golf Club were the generous hosts of the inaugural Over 70s Ray Saunders Salver, presented in memory of our past County Captain and President, who passed away in October 2025. It was an honour to have Ray’s wife, Eileen, and son, Howard, in attendance to see the first presentation of this new trophy that bears Ray’s name.

A small but sociable field took to the course over 18 holes of stableford play and managed to dodge the rain that has been so prevalent of late. Coming in third was Pedham Place’s Ken Paterson with a score of 35 points, just one behind our current County President, Chris Reynolds (Littlestone). But taking the trophy and etching her name into the history books was Ashford’s Audrey Flower, with a steady 37 points. Congratulations Audrey!

Our thanks go to Flett and his team at Dartford Golf Club for looking after us so well and to Eileen, Howard, and Jim for coming along to support the event.

We hope this competition will go from strength to strength, so look out for next year’s date, and we hope to see you there!

Huge congratulations to our former Kent Golf U18 Boys Team Captain, Abe Bignell (Rochester & Cobham Park), who has just been named the NJCAA National Player of the Year and awarded the prestigious Jack Nicklaus Award!

To put this into perspective, out of thousands of student-athletes competing across US junior colleges, Abe was officially crowned the single best golfer of the entire season. He now joins an elite list of past collegiate winners that includes Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Scottie Scheffler.

Congratulations, Abe, on this historic achievement. Everyone at Kent Golf is incredibly proud of you.

Kent Senior Women's Team match report 📜

📍 West Kent Golf Club
🆚 Surrey

Kent welcomed a very strong Surrey side to West Kent GC on a pleasant day of sunny intervals and light winds. Surrey were clearly determined to do better than in previous years by fielding their best players.

The match started off with a very close encounter between England international Julia Brook of Surrey against England hopeful Anne Wheble, resulting in Anne being pipped by 1 hole on the final green.

This was followed by Tita McCart against a new player in the Surrey side, Jenny Justice, both off similar handicaps, and Tita continued her recent run of good form, bringing home a 3&2 win.

The next 2 matches were similarly shared between the 2 counties, so we were tied at 2 all with 2 matches still to play.

Unfortunately, this is where Surrey’s strength showed through, with both their players showing why their handicaps were at least a couple of shots better than ours.

Our thanks go to West Kent GC for a very warm welcome, very good greens and some excellent refreshments.

Good luck to all competitors. We look forward to welcoming you to Chart Hills.
