Junior section

Over the last few years we as a Club like most have struggled to build a good strong section of junior golfers, but from now on you older members best watch out as a new junior revolution is on its way.

Last year the Junior team got to the league final, this was with a unexperienced young team, now this year with a little bit more knowledge and improved golfing ability we are hoping to become league champions and then represent the Huddersfield & Halifax Union in the Yorkshire County Finals.

And the juniors have got off to a strong start, Jamie Baker has played two club competitions so far this season he won the 1st Division in my last Pro’s Comp partnering Scott Colquhoun and then this weekend won the George Brooke Trophy with a score of 59 partnering our Scratch captain Scot Minto.

The juniors represented Hanging Heaton at Crosland Heath in the 1st Junior comp of the year with great success Alex Croft won with a nett 67 beating Isaac Murray on the back nine so we had a 1,2. In the academy competition Millie Wilson won her section with a score of 36 points over 10 holes
Other scores from our juniors were George Harris nett 70 and Jamie Baker nett 72...

This is an awesome start to our junior golfing year and I also think there will be a lot more to come.
