David and Colin Carver represented Enfield at the Wrest Park GC A-Level Series Tournament, which attracted a strong field of 16 players, split into two blocks of eight.

Both players were drawn in the same block. David produced a consistent performance in the qualifying stage to finish second and progress to the main knockout, while Colin placed sixth, moving into the plate competition.

All matches throughout the event were played as best-of-three games. David continued his fine form in the knockout rounds, advancing to the final where he faced Les Heard. In a closely fought and high-quality match, David edged the match 7–6, 3–7, 7–6 to secure the title and qualify for the national final.

The club’s opening 10-10 Golf Croquet Doubles Tournament proved to be a resounding success, with a record turnout of 22 players and a small group of spectators who came along to enjoy the occasion. It was fantastic to see all lawns in full use throughout the day, setting a lively and encouraging tone for the season ahead.

The weather played its part too. Although the morning began a little overcast, the sun made a welcome appearance by lunchtime and stayed with us for most of the afternoon, adding to the enjoyment of the event.

The competition itself was both friendly and keenly contested. Congratulations go to Thomas, who not only organised the tournament superbly but also emerged as the winner—purely coincidental of course! Colin Carver secured second place, with Chris Twomey finishing third. Well done to all three for their excellent performances.

A special thank you goes to Gillian Porter for ensuring everyone was so well catered for during the day. The excellent refreshments were very much appreciated by all.

Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable event and a perfect way to open the new season. Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed to such a successful day.
