ROY CASEWould like to let you all know that event founder Roy Case, passed away last Wednesday. After a highly successful business career, he then devoted all of his efforts into Junior Golf, eventually becoming President of England Golf. He founded The McGregor Trophy from Ratcliffe on Trent, and had a major input on many golfers, with some making there way into professional golf. We first met Roy in 2009, when we visited him to gain knowledge for an upcoming McGregor Trophy. He imparted so much knowledge in a kind, considerate way, he made the effort we put in, all worthwhile, and i know the event we delivered made him and England Golf proud.Directly after that, we spoke again about filling a gap in the junior schedule with a Under12 event, that eventually became the Under 14 event as is now. From 2014-2019 the event was administered in its entirety by Roy, and we always attracted a large field.2020 the event was passed to us, and we have started to move the event around the county, and North area, as we look to improve the events reach, this is something Roy was in total support with.Standing still is not an option, that would leave to eventual failure, something that we don't want. Up until very recently, we were speaking regularly, bouncing about ideas and suggestions, looking to continue the event improvement.Within golf, he will leave behind a huge legacy, and as part of that, we are truly thankful.We would like to pass on our condolences to Sharon and Shaun, and all of the family, he will be a huge miss. …

“If you worry about making bogeys, it makes the game that much more difficult. You put more pressure on yourself without even noticing it. It makes a difference to take it easy when things aren’t going right.” -Sergio Garcia
