There were home successes galore when we hosted the Derbyshire Amateur Championships on Sunday.
Leading the way was 15-year-old Eva Myers who showed her elders the way to be crowned 2024 Ladies Champion with a 36-hole combined score of 153. It meant Eva triumphed by an impressive four shot margin.
And combining with teammate Mel Davey, Eva ensured the Scratch Team prize also stayed at Chesterfield with a combined score of 317.
Mel secured the top morning net round with a score of 74. Our own Gabby Auld got in on the act with an impressive best afternoon nett of 71.
In the gents competitions Richard Fletcher won the prize for the best 36-hole net score of 146, with fellow CGC member Tom Marvin securing the runners-up spot just a shot back.
And Alistair Logan picked up a prize for the best net morning round with a level-par 71.
On a tough scoring day, it was a brilliant performance by CGC players. Congratulations to all of our prize winners.

A remarkable season of success just keeps on rolling for our own Eva Myers…
Eva played superb golf at Erewash GC to win the Derbyshire Ladies Matchplay Trophy, beating Catrin Russell of Chevin GC 4&2 in the final.
And it is believed that the latest in a string of wins for Eva could be a record breaker. Aged just 14, it is thought Eva could be the youngest ever winner of the adult title – usurping Mel Reid who won it aged 15 back in 2003 before going on to become a Solheim Cup star.
And it now means that Eva, who plays off a handicap index of 3.8, is both county girls and ladies champion, having won the under 18s version at Cavendish.
We’re super proud of you Eva. Well done!
