Ingestre Park Golf Club welcomes all Juniors!

Golf is a great sport for juniors as it enforces life skills, develops friendships, extremely rewarding and most of all FUN!

We have a good spread of ages, from 6 to 18, and abilities, from beginners to nearly scratch, in the junior section so you are always bound to find a playing/practising partner to suit you.  The Club is very welcoming to Juniors and are always open to new ideas to make the section even more vibrant and exciting.

Competitions

There are 18 hole competitions most Fridays of the school holidays, from Easter onwards, teeing off at 10.30. The prizes are awarded at the Junior presentation afternoon which takes place during the February half term holidays. Also, on most Saturday’s there are 9-hole ‘fun’ competitions at 1pm. All the 18-hole competitions count for handicap and some of the 9-hole competitions are also qualifying comps. If you do not have a handicap, all juniors can still join in and have a card marked which can contribute towards gaining a handicap.

Girls

Every Encouragement is given to our Juniors and as soon as they obtain a CONGU handicap, they are encouraged to enter ladies competitions.

How to gain a handicap

When you are course ready (Ben will let you know when you are) you need to put in cards of 54 holes. These can be in any combination, for example 3 -18 holes, 6 -9 holes or even. 1-18 hole and 4 -9 holes. When you have completed them pass the cards to either Jeff or Sharon and we will organise your handicap, be it a club or WHS depending upon your starting point. Your cards will need to be signed by another member, adult or another junior who already has a handicap.
