A-Z Sporting Spotlight: Golf

Mid-way through the season, Newcastle University’s Golf Club has success in its sights. Now with just a couple of games to go, promotion remains on the cards for both the 1^st and 2^nd teams. Furthermore, the 1s are off to Leeds Beckett tomorrow to play in the 2^nd round of the cup… exciting times. Not to mention a big solo win for one of our 1st team members Henry Croft.

This has been a revolutionary season for Golf at Newcastle University. Although both teams avoided relegation last year, and collected occasional the occasional win, neither team could establish any momentum. It was time for a rebuild.

Now however, having recruited some high-quality youngsters back in the autumn, golf seems to be making a revival at Newcastle. The club will look to implement a new recruitment strategy come the summer, and improve on the abundance of talent its now accumulated.

Varsity, 24^thMarch, is fast approaching. We’ll take a mixed team of eight to the world-famous Close House, and take on a Northumbria side, who’ve resided in the Northern Premier League this season. This will be a stern test for our young squad, half of which will likely be first years.

Finally, the social side remains strong, and forms the glue between the members of what is already a highly synergistic club. A new committee will soon be voted in, who are sure to match the dynamism, and enthusiasm of the current administration.
