NATIONAL TEAM STABLEORD 2018
On 18th & 19th July 11 teams descended on the Vale Resort, Hensol to compete in this year’s National Team Stableford sponsored by 3M/Scott Safety. The competitors were met with glorious weather and 2 difficult and challenging courses. Day 1 started on the Lakes course with all players starting on the 1st tee. Some very good play in evidence, including a exceptional par on the par 3 - 8th hole, holing the 2nd tee shot, after putting the first ball out of bounds. There was some very good scores shot on this course including 3 x 40 plus.
Later that evening everyone enjoyed a splendid meal, and some excellent entertainment with the 007 themed Casino Night, with some great prizes on offer for the top chip leaders at the end of the contest.
Day 2 was on the Wales National course having a two tee start, this course is a very different test being long and tight in certain areas. The scores on this course proved this as they plummeted, with nobody achieving par.
Although a difficult day all players seemed to enjoy the course, with special mention going to the fire fighting skills in evidence when the clubhouse caught fire and we all had to evacuate, quick thinking by our players and some handy fire extinguishers meant that after a small interruption we were able to resume our eating, drinking and presentation.
3rd Place – West Midlands A (185)
2nd Place – Hampshire (187)
1st Place – London (203)
Congratulations to all competitors and winners, thanks to the Sponsors, Vale Resort and Firesport UK Golf for another successful event in beautiful sunny weather.

Handicapping
There is some important information on handicapping and the requirements for competitors here
Please can all secretaries make themselves familiar with these new rules. This information has been added to the 'Rules' section on the website.
I have also included the current CONGU guidance on the Unified Handicapping System (click on image), this guidance will be particularly useful to secretaries when reviewing and amending handicaps. I will send all secretaries an easy to follow guide that will enable you to create a Competition Scratch Score for each event.

Foreword by Firesport UK Golf Section Chairman
I am extremely proud to be the Chairman of the Firesport UK Golf Section which is one of the most active sports sections within the UK fire and rescue sector. Providing all the core ingredients for optimum physical, mental health and wellbeing, golf brings people together and can help combat stress. Our national committee supported by regional secretaries organise, promote and host a series of national competitions on a year on year basis which always provide a tough test for golfers from across the country and from all handicap categories. These events would not be possible without our wonderful sponsors who generously support and participate in each national event, providing the opportunity to meet and socialise with fire and rescue service staff from across the UK. On behalf of the committee and all competitors I thank our sponsors for their generosity and continued commitment which is gratefully appreciated. I also wish to thank our competitors who compete at our national events representing their respective fire and rescue services. It is due to your commitment we are able to facilitate excellent events at wonderful golfing venues across the UK. Our website provides details of all national events and whatever your golfing ability I encourage you to seek the honour of representing your fire and rescue service or country at one of our national golfing events, where you will find the golf challenging with a welcome and camaraderie that will leave lasting fond memories and a desire to return to meet colleagues and sponsors at future events.”
