Ilkley juniors heading to the US

Ilkley Golf Club’s Harry Richmond and Corey Canning are set to continue their golfing journeys in the US – joining Ilkley members Huey Cunningham and Evie Graves in playing college golf across the Atlantic.

Harry is the reigning Junior European Open and Yorkshire U18 champion, and he has committed to attending Hutchinson Community College in Kansas – a division one junior college ranked in the top 10 nationally.

Meanwhile, Corey – a member of Ilkley since the age of eight and the club’s 2024 junior captain – has received an offer to join Chowan University in Murfreesboro, North Carolina – an NCAA Divi-sion II programme.

The boys are set to be joined in the US by Huey – who has committed to joining the University of South Florida St. Petersburg in August. Meanwhile, Evie is in her senior year at Spring Hill Col-lege in Alabama.

Ilkley head professional Glen Ient said: “These successes are a direct result of commitment, con-sistency, work ethic, and dedication we see on a daily basis. Huey, Harry and Corey are the three most frequent users of the indoor studio and can regularly be found on the practice ground and on the course rain or shine. We couldn’t be prouder, and we look forward to receiving updates from across the Atlantic later this year.”
