Junior Golf News
Hi everyone,
Welcome back to 2025, lots of juniors lots of golf and hopefully alot of fun along the way.
Saturday Golf & Club 18hole events E.g. Opening day
Please note that under 19 Juniors do not have automatic playing rights into the Saturday18 hole playing field -We have a list of approved juniors if you are not on the list your booking will be removed. If you would like to play in 18 competition fields you either need to be playing in the junior playing slots in the Saturday afternoon and gain approval from Stacey Koppens or you need to arrange to play with one of the Mens/Ladies committee and they can give you approval. It is not so much about your playing ability but the way you conduct yourself, your rules knowledge, goals and pace of play. If you think this is a stage you would like to be at then please reach out so we can support you with this.
