NEW COUNTY CHILD PROTECTION POLICY
A new County Child Protection Policy has been issued jointly by both the WLCGA and WCGU and will apply to both boys and girls.

The policy applies to County events, competitions, matches and training sessions but does not apply to club activities. However, clubs are encouraged to produce their own policies as a condition of achieving Golf Mark status and many will already have something in place. If not, the county organisations are happy for clubs to use the county policy as a template.

TRIPLE SUCCESS FOR THE LOUGHREY FAMILY

Gill Loughrey from Wrag Barn, winner of the Sybil Parsons Plate at the 2010 WLCGA County Championships, has two more reasons to celebrate this month.

Elder son, Ben, who plays off handicap of +2, has taken the Wiltshire Mens' County Championship title after a fantastic match in the final at Cumberwell Park against Ben Stow of Rushmore. The match went to 5 extra holes before a birdie putt settled the result.

Not to be left out, the Loughrey's younger son, Josh, who also plays off +2, won the Colts Championship with a 1 under par score after two rounds on the first day.

Both boys are members at Wrag Barn and their success at the WCGU County Championships came hot on the heels of great performances at the Irish Open Amateur Championships, where Ben took overall third place and, with brother Josh, qualified for the Brabazon Trophy.

Gill and husband, Barry, are over the moon at the boys' success. "We are so proud of them!", she says.
