For 2013 an exciting new Junior Golf Tour has been launched with the aim to give young golfers especially those aged under 14 the opportunity to play competitive golf.

The difference with this tour is that all competitions are to be played on par 3 courses. This will be very beneficial for younger golfers and those without a handicap as it can be very daunting playing on a full size golf course to begin with.

For 2013 the Northamptonshire Golf Partnership will again be running a Junior Order of Merit. This year twelve Junior Opens will contribute towards "The Race to the Grand Final 2013".

On Tuesday the 8th October 2013 the Northamptonshire Golf Partnership will be holding it's annual County golf club forum.
The forum will take place at Northampton GC and as in previous years we would like each of the Counties golf clubs to send two representatives to the event.

The British Heart Foundation have launched details of their 2013 Junior Golf Championship. The idea of the event is to give Juniors a chance to play competitive golf while at the same time raising funds for the charity.

Included within the websites download library section you will find a Promotional Booklet explaining how the Championship works. This also includes information on booking onto the event.

It is open to golfers aged 11-18 with the competition being played at Staverton Park GC on Tuesday 28th May 2013.
