2023 Captains’ Drive In

Despite the competition being cancelled due to the rain we have had this week, the ceremonial past Captains’ Putt Out and 2023 Captains’ Drive In took place today and the sun was at least shining brightly for the start of Ben’s year as Juniors Captain. Here he is alongside the Club Captain, Ladies Captain and Seniors Vice Captain. Here’s to an enjoyable year Ben.

Good luck to our 2023 Junior Captain – Ben Newman

Happy New Year from the T&P Juniors Team.
 
We would like to wish Good Luck and a fun year to our 2023 Junior Captain, Ben Newman, and thank you to Freddie Eglin who will be supporting him as Vice Captain this year.
 
Best wishes Jan, Berni & Team T&P Juniors

Results and photos from Junior Open 14/08/22

The Junior Open last Sunday was a great success. Head over to the Junior Open section now to view all the results and some lovely photos of the T&P winners as well as a couple of action shots.

A big thank you to Rob Darvell, Club Captain, for presenting the prizes and to our generous sponsor of the prize money – you know who you are! The Junior Organising team of Berni, Jacky, John, Jason and Jan also want to thank Martin Hill, Ali and Ian McGown and Kevin Jackson for volunteering on the day as Starter, card checkers and photographer. Thanks also to the kitchen and bar staff for helping to make the day a success. If parents would like a copy of any of the photographs Kevin is happy to send them one. Please see Berni or Jan in the first instance for this.

The T&P Open will be back in August 2023 so keep it in mind!

Junior Team Pro-Am

T&P PRO-AM
FRIDAY 1st JULY 2022

The 2022 Junior Team will consist of 3 players from The Junior Section who have returned the best stableford scores in 18 hole qualifying competitions to be held on Mon 6th, 13th and 20th June.

A player’s 2 best aggregate scores out of the 3 stableford comps will count. Hopefully you will be able to play on all 3 dates but you need to take part and complete a card in at least 2 of them in order to be in with a chance of getting a place. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined on count back.

Please note the Pro-Am is held on a Friday and is a wonderful opportunity for Juniors to play alongside a field of good golfers in what has always been a fun and competitive day.

Spring newsletter

The season is well underway with lots of Juniors turning up at Junior Club night on Mondays, both at Ali’s Fox Cub training and also, for those more experienced, to play 9 & 18 holes on the course. There have been a good few bank holidays but we have a clear run of mondays now until the end of August and we have now received the course rating for the 9 hole course which makes handing in a card for 9 holes a lot easier.

The Junior Texas Scramble at the end of April raised over £100 for Junior funds and was well supported.
Two trophy competitions have been held in May, The Presidents Cup and Tony Churchill Shield, and these were won by Alfie Sully and Finley Pike respectively. 1st and 2nd place winners will have money credited to their Pro shop accounts for these trophy competitions. The next one is on Mon 6th June – see Diary on website. On another related note, the juniors are starting to fill in their cards correctly which is great but if anyone is unsure about how to do their card/score correctly just ask either of the Junior Organisers present on club nights.
T&P Juniors are in a Somerset Summer Knock out competition and played Wells at Home on 22nd May. It involved 3 singles matches and our Juniors won,thereby going forward to the next round where they play Wheathill.
A few of our Juniors play for Somerset and are doing exceptionally well. To keep up-to-date with everything at County level you can view events/results on https://www.somersetgolfunion.co.uk/ and https://www.somersetjuniorsgolf.co.uk

The 2020 Junior Captains texas scramble will take place on Saturday 29th August. With tee times from 7.30 am to 2.00 pm it should be a good day for all of the T&P members to come along and support the juniors, as they do normally.

The junior section teams will be as follows..

It will be off the yellow tees, with each player having to take a minimum of three drives and a maximum of 5. You work that out between you on Saturday..  Good luck, would be great to see 1 of the teams in the frame for the club overall prizes…

11.40 – Mark & Finley & James & Benjamin + Team Handicap = 11.9
11.30 – Mike & Bailey & Morgan & Freddie = Team handicap = 9.7
The winning team from the 3 above will share a dozen golf balls…and have the bragging rights of being the best junior section scramble team of 2020!
