Nottinghamshire Golf Announce 2014 Rookie Tour

By: Golf Shake | Wed 05 Feb 2014


Nottinghamshire GolfNottinghamshire Golf, a collaboration of the NUGC, NCLGA, NPGA & NCGP, have annouced a new tour for junior golfers taking place across the region this summer.

The 2014 Rookie Tour will allow juniors to compete in series of events and is focused on the continued drive to encourage more youngsters into the sport and give them a platform to develop their skills.

The team from the Nottinghamshire Golf Union, the county Ladies Association, the Notts PGA and the Nottinghamshire County Golf Partnership have been working hard to improve the competitive offering for juniors and deliver a programme of events that will reach every level of young golfers.

Young Golfers

Nipper Tour

The Rookie Tour will complement the long-standing and successful Nippers Tour, which caters for juniors under the age of 12 on January 1, 2014, while the new season will also see the launch of a Junior Order of Merit for Nottinghamshire.

The number of events for the players, who do not need a golf handicap, on the Nippers Tour has been extended to seven and entry is just £15 for the nine-hole competitions.

  • Friday, May 30 at Norwood Park Golf Centre
  • Friday, July 25 at The Nottinghamshire Golf & Country Club
  • Wednesday, August 20 at Stanton on the Wolds Golf Club

Rookie Tour & Junior Order of Merit

The 2014 season will see the introduction of the Rookie Tour aimed at juniors aged 12-17 who do not have a handicap or have a CONGU handicap above 28 (boys) or 36 (girls). Three nine-hole competitions will be staged.

The Junior Order of Merit will be based on six junior open events and is open to under-18s with an official CONGU handicap.

  • Friday, May 30 at Norwood Park
  • Sunday, June 22 at Mapperley
  • Friday, July 25 at The Nottinghamshire
  • Sunday, August 10 at Beeston Fields
  • Thursday, August 14 at Coxmoor
  • Wednesday, August 20 at Stanton on the Wolds

Lauren Spray, Get into Golf Officer for the Nottinghamshire County Golf Partnership, explains the thinking behind the new Order of Merit: “We want to provide a platform for young golfers to develop their competitive skills across a variety of courses by encouraging them to support junior open events.

This will also give us the opportunity identify talented golfers and measure performance.”
