ENGLAND SCHOOLS CALL UP FOR HEARSALL’S IBBERTSON TWINS!
Coventry Hearsall twins Harry and Tom Ibbertson have both been called up by England Schools. Tom is in the team that take on Wales at St Pierre GC, Chepstow on 23rd August, while Harry will face Scotland at Fairhaven GC, Lancashire on 13th September.
The 18 year olds representing Solihull College, took their first step towards qualifying by finishing in the top four of the Warwickshire Schools Championship at Rugby in April, Tom winning a sudden-death play-off and Harry finishing third.
The Midlands finals at Ingon Manor saw Tom again victorious in a play-off while Harry was sixth. They passed the final test by finishing in the top 15 of the English Schools National Championships at John O’Gaunt GC in Bedfordshire, Harry carding a 36 hole total of 148, while Tom shot 149.
Tom Retains His County Boys Title
Talented Coventry Hearsall 17 year old Tom Ibbertson retained the Warwickshire Boys (Under 18) Strokeplay Championship at a wet and windy Walmley Golf Club.
Double winners of this title are rare, with only three previous double winners, namely current European Tour professionals Steve Webster and Sam Walker, and former tour professional Pip Elson.
The team of three from Hearsall, Harry and Tom Ibbertson and Rhys Lawrence also retained the Coventry Evening Telegraph Cup for the best combined gross score, holding off a strong challenge from the home trio from Walmley.

South Warwickshire Junior League - 2009
The Hearsall Junior Team have retained the junior league title.
This is now the fourth consecutive year that we have won the league, and our fifth title in the last 6 years.
We once again used home advantage to help pick up the title, having a perfect six wins out of six at home.
It is getting tougher each year, but as our “low men”, Tom and Harry Ibbertson and Will Smith are still eligible to play for the team next year, let’s see! (Although we may have to start paying them appearance money!!).
Captains Charity 2008-9
The Hearsall Golf Club Captain and Lady Captain chose to raise money for the Battens Disease Family Association and on October 4th were pleased to present the charity with a cheque for £6100. Battens disease affects the nervous system in a small number of children and there is yet no cure. The charity is close to the Lady Captains heart as two of her grandchildren, Amy and Oliver are affected.

Ryder Cup Replica.
Ethel Moffat presented a replica Ryder Cup to our Captain in a recent ceremony at our Club.
Her late husband Ralph was our Professional for over 25 years and played alongside Peter Alliss et al in the 1961 Ryder Cup.
