At the start of 2011/2012 the Junior Section at Copthorne Golf Club had 43 Members. Junior Members at Copthorne are able to play their golf on one of the best courses in Sussex and it's reckoned that if you can play well at Copthorne and you can play well almost anywhere.

During the course of the year there is the opportunity to play in monthly medals and stablefords, as well as Trophy competitions such as the Centenary Trophy, Justin Hayward Memorial Trophy & the Siegle Salver. Other competitions include Winter & Summer Knock Outs, the Club Championship, club matches and County events such as the Summer league and the County Knock Outs.

For the really keen, there are various Golf Club "Opens" held throughout the county during school holidays, all these events plus regular friendly games should provide a wide range of golf for Juniors of all abilities to participate in (and no-one should miss our Junior BBQ in July).

For those with ever-improving handicaps at different age groups there may also be the chance to play at county level, lookout for the County age group championships on the county Website http://www.sussexgolf.org/ for the boys and http://www.sclga.com/ for the girls.

Playing in some or all of these events will put any Junior in a good position to win some trophies at the Junior AGM in November.

To find out more information about the Junior section contact us, or come along to the club and take a look at our notice board. You can always talk to our professionals who provide regular lessons and coaching for all Members of the golf club.
