Perfect opportunity for inexperienced junior golfers

The Junior Claret Cup is being held at Crosland Heath Golf Club on Thursday June 2nd from 9:00am onwards. 

The competition welcomes any juniors who want to experience playing in a competition and it is an opportunity for junior golfers who are not usually capable of entering their own club events due to restrictions as well as established junior members of clubs. 

It is a Stableford competition which is open to boys and girls whatever their standard or ability and clubs can enter as many junior members to play for the Junior Claret Cup when the best two scores from each club will count for the trophy. There is a first and second joint prize and also best individual winners and any player entering will be paired up with where possible with someone of equal ability. 

The cost of the competition is £5 which includes a drink and treat on arrival and after their round lunch is included in the event.

Spokesperson Bob Hazelden says "This competition is in its 6th year and we have had 5 different clubs winning each time and usually the club that wins the Claret Cup have the opportunity of holding it at their course the following year and whilst individuals can enter the junior organiser at clubs can enter a team on block with names and handicaps." 

He added, "The Claret Cup (It is a lovely miniature copy of the original from The Open Golf event) has been kindly donated by David and Janet Cox from Hebden Bridge Golf Club and they also sponsor the prizes and meals in what is a brilliant opportunity for juniors who are starting their golf careers and having an experience of playing in a competition for possibly the first time without any pressure."

There are still places available to enter and you can ring Bob on 01484 655097 or David Cox on 01422 883898 for a tee time.
