15 July 2026 - West Hove GC 2012 Junior Open
Results from West Hove's Junior Open
Forty junior golfers competed in
today's Junior Open, which is a SCGU 'Junior County Order of
Merit' competition. The field included 26 golfers
from sixteen other Sussex golf clubs.
This year's champion is Laird Shepherd who plays off 10
at Dale Hill GC. He narrowly beat Luke Bennett a 4-handicapper
from Mannings Heath GC. They both shot excellent gross 76s.
Special thanks go to West Hove's Junior Organiser Ken
Stafford, for once again organising this popular competition,
and to David Goldsmith (the Club's Vice-Captain elect) for
presenting the prizes.
Family and friends are pictured (right) gathering for the
prize presentation whilst below we list the main prize-winners
and their scores. In the photo' below, from left to right, are

30 April 2026 - West Hove's Juniors win
Following two close defeats last Saturday in Sussex County
Golf Union (SCGU) events, it is pleasing to report that our
Juniors narrowly won their first round match in the Alan Covey
Cup.
This prestigious SCGU competition is
a team foursomes knockout
event for junior golfers. Each team comprises four pairs and
we were represented by
Frankie Ingham & Robert Haggart, Joe Morley & Tom Crossman,
Jack Smith & Sam Cissell and finally by Tyler Hounsome &
George Goddard. |
The match ended all square at 2-2, so Junior Organiser, Ken
Stafford, nominated Joe and Tom to represent the team and play
in the 'sudden death' play-off from the first hole.
Fortunately, they won that hole to allow us to proceed to the
second round, away to Mannings Heath GC (who
beat East Brighton GC at the second extra hole).
1st Round results can be seen

Entry Forms are now available for the 2012 West Hove Junior
"Open"
This SCGU 'Junior County Order of Merit' competition has
become increasingly popular amongst junior golfers in Sussex - and
even beyond. For example, last year's event attracted 45 players
from 18 golf clubs from as far away as South Herts GC (home of the
Vardon grip).
This year's event takes place on Sunday 15 July and comprises an
18-hole medal competition. All junior golfers (under the age of 18
on 1 January 2026) with a handicap of up to 28 for boys, and 36 for
girls, are invited to participate. Early booking is advisable.
Full details, together with an Entry Form can be downloaded by
clicking here
And a Junior Parental Consent Form can be obtained by
clicking here.*

(WHGC Junior Members do not need to complete the parental consent
form as a current master copy is already held on file.) |
