Charles is hoping to make golf fun during presidency
Shropshire & Herefordshire Union of Golf Clubs have appointed Charles Sievewright as its new president.
Following in the footsteps of Doug Parry, Sievewright said he hopes to ‘emulate the same enthusiasm and work ethic’.
During his two-year reign he looks forward to visiting all of the Union clubs, supporting the county men, senior and junior teams, as well as the championship competitions.
“For me, golf is all about fun, making new friends, and, if any county competition success comes along then that is an added bonus,” Sievewright said.
The new president has many years of experience in the golfing community. A Patshull Park Golf Club member for 37 years, before they closed during Covid, he is now a proud member at Bridgnorth Golf Club. He was also club junior organiser for more than 18 years, becoming club captain in 2006.
Sievewright, who has also announced his president-elect as Nigel Chesters, added: “I wish all golfers in the county an enjoyable and fun year playing our lovely game.”
