Junior Captain's Message 2024
It is a privilege and an honour to be selected to serve as your Junior County Captain for a second year. I am very much looking forward to the new season and the challenge that it offers for me as Captain and for my fellow Team members as we continue to promote and develop girls’ golf across the County. Building on the excellent work done by previous Captains and working alongside the County Ladies Captain Ruth and all of the adult organisers. Hopefully this year we will be able to put a team out to play against other counties and enter the Northern Region Jamboree which this year Cumbria is hosting at Barrow Golf Club 6th and 7th August 2024.
The new season offers a great many opportunities and I look forward to representing Cumbria, leading the team in the County representative matches and to be taking part in the various County competitions.
I wish all junior golfers, a fabulous 2024 Season.

Development Squad Training 17 March
Another brilliant session with Ellie putting the girls through the different disciplines.
Accuracy, landing zones, putting techniques, chipping, track man etc.
Fantastic effort and great improvement by all the girls really well done..
Junior Girls Training Saturday 17 February
7 girls attended the session, which focused on distance control for pitching and chipping.
Trackman was used to identify weaker areas so that the girls are able to use practice time more effectively.
Junior Girls Training Sunday 14 January
Huge thanks to everyone who braved the cold weather to attend Sunday’s session at PGH with Ellie. It was a great opportunity for the nine girls to get together and work through the drills.
The importance of a warm-up routine both for body and swing was covered and how 'stretching' our bodies the opposite way can improve our swing speed and therefore have an impact on our distances.. it was so funny to watch the players attempt a reverse swing! Time was taken also to review 'putting' and to introduce drills which can be practised at home. Building on the knowledge gained from the first session.
Saturday 10 Dec Penrith Golf Hub
Launch of Development Squad. At the central location, looking at both the skills of our players and giving opportunities to create relationships with other like-minded individuals in the County.
Our extremely important Rookies programme will continue in 2024, with information to follow.
We had 8 girls attend from Silloth, Penrith, Eden, Ulverston, Barrow, Brampton, and Carus Green.
Thanks to girls for attending and grown-ups for transport. Thanks to PGH and Ellie.
The first step in what is going to be an exciting season.
