Kenilworth Junior Masters
On Wednesday 20th April 2011 Kenilworth Golf Club in Warwickshire will host the third Kenilworth Junior Masters. This event, sponsored by the Golf Society of Great Britain, is one of a series of six competitions held annually at leading venues across the country which are designed to give young golfers the chance to enjoy competitive golf.
The list of former winners of events in this series features some familiar names including Oliver Fisher who went on to become the youngest ever Walker Cup player and is now established as member of the European Tour. Other notable participants include Chris Wood, Tommy Fleetwood, last year’s EGU Order of Merit winner and Jonathan Bell, currently a member of the EGU’s ‘A’ Squad.
This competition is open to boys and girls of all abilities aged under 14 on the day of the competition. Last year, the Kenilworth Junior Masters proved to be very popular and attracted more than 60 talented young golfers from all across the United Kingdom. It’s a unique event in so much as the title is awarded for the best gross score (in 2010 Derbyshire’s Josh Thorley won with a gross 72) whilst also catering for those with less experience and even those without a handicap. As each group is escorted by an adult to assist with keeping track of the scores and helping with the rules it is an ideal environment for those without too much competition experience to expand their knowledge and understanding of the game.
If you know of any junior golfers that might be interested in taking part please direct them to the Kenilworth Junior Masters page of our website where further information is available and an entry form can be downloaded.

I just wanted to see how many people would spot my mistake...........honest!
Thanks for pointing this out.
I see you are a long driver. Do you demos and if so what would be the cost? I'm sure our competitors would love it.

Thanks Ivan, thinking about it I'm not sure that we have a suitable area for a long drive demo. Even I can carry the ball the length of our practice ground!
I don't think the teach in would benefit the competitors in the Junior Masters given that they are all 13 or under.
Regards.
