The Junior Club Championships were played today in glorious sunshine. The main event was played over 36 holes off the white tees. There was also a 12-hole Red-Tee Stableford event for our less experienced juniors to get the taste for competition. The course was truly in immaculate condition, so Richard Holmes and his team deserve special thanks.
Gross competition
2009 winner Curtis Macgeever led the way after the morning round on 76 closely followed by Jack Unsworth (77), this year's club championship winner Joe Bell on 78 and Josh Wallin not too far behind carding an 80. In the afternoon round Joe Bell held his nerve to return a solid 75 and a total of 153 to claim the title. Josh Wallin also equalled the lowest gross of the day (75) to move into second spot on count back from Jack Unsworth and Curtis Macgeever after all three returned totals of 155 for the day.

Danny Glover claimed the nearest-the-pin prize on the 6th hole and Curtis Macgeever the longest drive on the 18th.
Nett competition
Simon Cottell landed the nett title with two solid rounds of 69 (138). Josh Wallin was next on 143 but as the competition only allows one prize per person, the runners-up prize went to Jack Unsworth who just pipped Curtis Macgeever on count-back after both scored 145. Full result - click here.
Red-Tee Stableford
This was great experience for some of our young juniors who experienced playing in a competition for the first time. The winner was George Freer on 23 pts followed by Michael Sopp on 22pts. Laurie Gale was third on count-back from Dan Bailey after both scored 21 pts. The longest drive on the 9th hole was won by Michael Sopp. Well done to all the players who took part today and completed their rounds.
Special thanks to the following people who helped make this day a resounding success.
John Hoskison and Lorraine Storey for organising and staging the event and prizes. John Taylor for doing the morning starting.

Last, but not least, to Alan Owen, Richard Mead and Derrick Perrin for accompanying the red-tee players to help them complete their rounds. |
