Redbourn Golf Club Juniors
Junior members information sheet
A very big welcome from Redbourn Golf Club ‘junior section’. This letter will inform you of the matches, tournaments and general play tee times that are available to the Redbourn junior section. Depending on your ability as a golfer we have many options to play fun and competitive golf.
Starting with 17.30 Wednesday evening roll ups on the Kinsbourne par 3 course, (April 1st to September 30th), we issue juniors with a handicap for that course from the first round. You may then enter in our par 3 medal match (stroke play) on the last Wednesday in the month. When you can consistently achieve a score of 40 (gross) or less for the nine hole par 3 course you can sign up on the notice board in the club house(availability can be viewed on the web site) to play the main 18 hole Ver course.
Each Sunday the junior committee reserve tee times from midday, (can vary) for juniors to play the main course. We organise a medal round (white tees) on the second Sunday in the month and a stableford match on the fourth Sunday in the month. Both medal and stableford rounds are for handicap adjustment or you can obtain your first handicap by playing in 3 medal rounds. They cost £2 each to enter (unless playing to obtain a handicap) and a prize is given to the best nett and gross scores. (The best nett is the medal winner and the medal itself is presented on presentation evening in December.) In the stableford matches the highest point scorer is the winner. There are also prizes for the best front and back nine.
Equally a junior can sign up in the pro shop up to two weeks in advance to play the main course when ever and with who ever they like with the exception of Saturday and Sunday’s before midday.
We have three league teams. Team C (‘Tiger league’) play home and away par 3 course matches against Mill Green, Chesfield Downs, Aldwickbury Park and Abbey Hill. These matches are for young or high handicap players and cost £5 each which covers prizes and a meal. Team B (‘Jeddah Cup’ league) play alternate years home and away against Hammonds End, Harpenden Common, Aldwickbury Park, Mill Green and Whipsenade. These games are for juniors with main course handicaps of 15 to 36 in preparation for main team competition. The matches cost £5 each to cover food and prizes. Team A (North Herts league and Ver league) doubles and singles matches feature juniors who generally have handicaps of 15 and below. We play these matches on a yearly alternate home and away basis against other clubs all over Hertfordshire. The cost of these matches is £4 each to cover food.
A junior with a single figure handicap (9.4 and below) can play in the adult medal on the first full weekend in the month, but must play with an adult, (one adult one junior). Higher handicap juniors can play in the adult medal, (one adult one junior) but cannot play before midday on Saturday or Sunday. All juniors entering in an adult/junior co-sanctioned event will earn ‘order of merit’ points to win the Taylor-Wright Trophy at the end of the year.
Finally the junior committee will help promote any junior with a handicap onto the Herts Golf Union training programmes if they show enthusiasm and the potential to become county players.
Good luck with your career in golf I look forward to seeing you on the fairways and in one of our Redbourn Junior teams of which I am immensely proud.
