Juniors
2013
The end of the 2013 season is almost here. Many of you will already be thinking about your golf plans for 2014. I have attached the 2014 diary to this web page to help you plan which events you would like to enter. I will add many of these dates to the official DCLGA fixture list early next year.
I would like to congratulate all the girls that have reduced their handicaps this year; there have been some significant improvements. Well done!
There are several support systems in place to help girls wanting to improve individual golfing skills.
DCLGA Coaching over the winter months is already taking place at Wynyard Leadbetter Academy and at Hartlepool Golf Club. There will be an assessment for younger girls in the New Year at Headlam Hall. This will take place on Saturday March 15th 2014 - the coaches will be Pat Smillie and Steve Carpenter. There will be six, 3 hour coaching sessions over the Spring and Summer months for the girls chosen. Please email me and let me know if you are interested in attending this assessment.
The Durham County Golf Partnership also provides coaching support. All information on these coaching dates can be found on the Durham County Golf Partnership website.
There is an extensive programme of competitions, many of which are listed on the attachment below. We are very grateful to England Golf, the Durham County Junior Golfing Society, the Durham County Golf Partnership and Durham Clubs for organising competitions which girls are eligible to enter. There are plenty of opportunities for girls to play golf in Durham
Please contact me if you have queries regarding junior golf for girls in Durham.
I look forward to seeing all of you once again in 2014 and watching your progress. Hopefully we will once again be able to welcome many new girls .
- Please check the junior fixture list regularly – I will continue to update it as soon as I am made aware of any new events.
- Can you also make yourself fully aware of the ‘Dress Code’ for Durham Golf Clubs. Failure to comply with this could mean you are not allowed to take part in a competition.

Hello Durham County Girls it gives me great pleasure to be your captain for 2014. I look forward to working with Gloria, Andrew (Leadbetter Academy coach) and our outstanding young group of golfers. It is a fantastic time to be involved with Durham Girls Golf. Hopefully I can pass on some of the experience I have gained playing for the juniors,seniors and my involvement with the England Squad. Let's hope for another successful year. Good luck to everyone, let's give Gloria a summer to remember in her final year.
