The Kent Challenge League Team played their final two matches in August.
The team played at our home course of Chislehurst Golf Club. A change in our preparation delivered stronger results.
Highlights of both matches included a standout 7/6 win in the Foursomes against Sussex by Ben Hatton and Elliot Dole. Elliot featured again in the Singles matches, delivering a 5/4 win. Lucas Dennisons’ singles 6/4 win was our best performance in the Singles.
Match result: Kent 5 – Sussex 7
Ben Hatton and Xavier Hollands were winners in their Foursomes match against a very strong Hampshire side. Jordan Hall delivered really convincing 4/2 result in the afternoon Singles.
2024 was the team's inaugural season, and it's fair to say we have all learned a lot.
My thanks go to Coach Keiran Poole, our Team Captain Sam Pantlin, and Vice-Captain Charlier Fuller for their efforts both on the course and during our planning discussions
Thanks also to the office team at Kent Golf for providing support and resource.
A final note of recognition goes to Chislehurst Club Captain Simon Gander and the Chislehurst team for hosting us and delivering a course in great condition for our matches.
The team is looking forward to 2025.

Kent Golf Challenge League Team Manager 2024
