The Wildcats had three camps during the season<br />
where they mixed with B Section. This motivated<br />
them and the coaches gauge their readiness <strong>for</strong><br />
stepping up a group. This isn’t just about reaching<br />
target scores. Maturity and pace of play are<br />
amongst a variety of things that help the coaches<br />
decide when they are ready.<br />
The juniors in B and B+ had a great season of golf.<br />
David Diracles organises the sessions ably support<br />
by several parents who supervise and act as scorers.<br />
Thursdays start with the juniors devouring the<br />
healthy snacks that David suggested we provide as<br />
the children are hungry when they arrive straight<br />
from school.<br />
They love their golf and strong friendships<br />
develop. Club competitions had good entry<br />
numbers but a lesson <strong>for</strong> <strong>2022</strong> is to space the<br />
weekend trophy competitions across the whole<br />
season. The planned trips to Junior Opens were<br />
enjoyed by those that choose to attend. We<br />
consider playing different courses as a vital part in<br />
their development.<br />
The highlight of our junior season is our Caddies<br />
Cup Day in September. With juniors playing from<br />
age four to eighteen years with the Academy holes,<br />
Struie and Championship Course all in use it is a<br />
big day with the juniors excited and ready to play,<br />
no matter the weather.<br />
The atmosphere in the clubhouse afterwards,<br />
when they enjoy their food and during the Prize<br />
Giving, is electric. The warmth the juniors have <strong>for</strong><br />
their friends that win and <strong>for</strong> runners-up is<br />
Celebrating our long serving staff<br />
