Bondhay Golf Club has been awarded the prestigious GolfMark Award accreditation demonstrating their hard work and dedication to both junior and beginner golf. There are just over 200 golf clubs in England with the award, just 2 to date in Nottinghamshire and Bondhay being the ONLY club in Worksop to achieve accreditation.
The English Golf Union (EGU) and English Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) developed the GolfMark Award to identify and acknowledge golf clubs in England that are junior and beginner friendly and are proactive in their attitude to golf development through the recruitment and retention of golfers.
The GolfMark accreditation also integrates Sport England’s ClubMark award, a generic national standard for quality sports clubs recognised across the country.
Richard Brown, Regional Development Officer for the English Golf Union commented “Bondhay Golf Club are a shining example of a club that gives juniors a fantastic opportunity to play golf. They offer a well structured coaching & competitive programme, the children are made welcome by the membership and the management of the club are fully supportive of the junior section. I will be watching with interest to see how the club builds on this award in the future.
Nick Faldo presents Bondhay’s Daniel Wasteney with the 2010 Junior Captain’s Green Jacket whilst taking part in the Grand Final of the Faldo Series in the Olympic city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Dan Wasteney continued his good form lying -1 going down the 18th in Round 2 of the Nick Faldo Series Grand Final.
One loose shot then hit a tree, with the recovery finishing in the water meant Dan ended up with a disastrous 9. Prior to this Dan missed out challenging the lead and lipped for 5 birdies.
Dan seems to have taken the setback in his stride and promises to be back with vengeance in the final round tomorrow.
Jonathan Bell and James Watts share the joint lead in the Faldo Series Grand Final following the second round of the tournament which is being held at the Itanhanga Golf Club in the Olympic city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
England’s Watts shot a stunning eight under par round of 64, which included six birdies and an eagle at the par five fifth. His efforts drew him level with overnight leader Bell, who shot a three under par 69 today. Both Watts and Bell lead the Boys Under 21 and Boys Under 18 categories respectively. Scotland’s Carly Booth is the leading girl with a three over par two-round total of 147.
