The Leicestershire Golf Club is proud of the continuing development of its junior section.
It is a very active section for girls and boys, which is run by a sub-committee with help from parents and the Junior Captain and Vice Captain.
There are ten Sunday morning competitions throughout the year with varying formats including 18 hole medal, stableford and foursomes tournaments, a matchplay knockout competition and a 36 hole Scratch and Net Championship day.
The top 6 golfers in each event earn order of merit points. At the end
of the season the junior member who has accumulated the most points is awarded
The Howard Trophy for the section’s “player of the year”.
Throughout the year there are also numerous friendly and league matches, as
well as our Festival Of Golf Day, which is open to teams from clubs throughout
the county.
Junior members are given the same access to the course as all other club members. When they obtain an official handicap (28 or below), they are encouraged to participate in club competitions and represent the club in team matches.
We have developed a coaching programme for the junior section. Every year a selection of our young members are invited to take up a place in the programme which provides them with funded tuition from PGA qualified teaching professional, Ian Lyner.
Junior membership is still available and we welcome all applications from those who wish to come and be part of our section. If you are interested and want an application form , please call at the secretary’s office or call on 0116 2736730.
