VISITING JUNIORS
WE WELCOME JUNIORS TO VISIT OUR CLUB BUT ASK THAT THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE IS ADHERED TO:
- Visiting juniors under the age of 18 who do not have a handicap must be accompanied on the course by an adult.
- Visiting juniors aged 14 & over who can produce evidence they have handicaps and are members of a club do not need an adult on the course with them.
- All visiting juniors under 14 must be accompanied on the course by an adult unless taking part in a club competition organised by North Wilts or some other responsible golfing body.
Adult & Junior Open 20 April 2024
52 players from 12 clubs in 5 counties took part in our Adult & Junior Open. After such a wet Winter & early Spring, we were blessed with a dry and sunny day. However, with a strong, chilly wind drying the greens very quickly, the course was very tricky to negotiate.
This was reflected in the scores, except for the first to third places who all scored 38 points, and all had 19 on the back nine. 2nd & 3rd place both scored 13 on the last 6 and was only decided by one point on the last 3.
Nathan & James Thomas from North Wilts were in 3rd and David & Nicolai Bauer from Marlborough were runners-up. The winning pair made 14 points on their last 6, so, by the narrowest of margins, Reuben, aged 9, and his dad Simon Addison from Marlborough were the winning pair.
