BOYS COUNTY FINALS MOVES TO LONGCLIFFE

The English Boys County Finals, scheduled to be played at Kedleston Park in Derbyshire on 3-5 September 2001, have been switched to another venue. The three-day round robin event will now take place at Longcliffe Golf Club in Leicestershire on the same dates. Kedleston Park operates a strict soft spikes rule, which they felt they could not relax for the Finals.

Longcliffe was approached and although the club hosted the Reid Trophy only last August, it agreed to take the Boys Finals, moving its Club Championship and two other fixtures to accommodate the English Golf Union. This is the second occasion in recent times that an EGU event has been switched because of the soft spikes rule.
