Teams head to Northumberland to contest senior county crown
There will be a new name on the trophy after the English Senior Men’s County Championship is played next week at Goswick Golf Club, Northumberland.
The four teams seeking the senior counties’ crown for the first time are Gloucestershire, Sussex, Warwickshire and Yorkshire.
They each represent one of the England Golf men's regional groups - South-West, South-East, Midlands and the North – and they will play off in the round robin tournament over three days, from Tuesday to Thursday, 10-12 October.
They’ll be challenged by the championship links at Goswick, near Berwick-on-Tweed, which returns to the list of Open championship qualifying venues next year. It was previously used from 2008-2012.
The course runs along the coast offering views across the North Sea and of Holy Island and Bamburgh Castle to the south. The wind, inevitably is one of the key factors, in scoring.
