The Northern Junior Golf Tour has announced exciting changes to its packed schedule for 2023 – with each date on the diary now incorporating both the 18-hole Masters and nine-hole Rookies tours.
A total of 17 events will take place across the north this season – starting at Brancepeth Castle in April before visiting clubs in Northumberland, Cumbria, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and – for the first time – Scotland. The leading players on both tours will then take part in the Grand Final at Thonock Park on September 1.
Since 2008, the Northern Junior Golf Tour – which became the first junior golf tour to become a signatory of The R&A’s Women in Golf Charter in December 2022 – has welcomed thousands of young golfers to its events.
Founder Jason Budd said: “We felt now was the time to restructure our events to provide the best experience for each junior golfer – with high quality events, professional setups and a welcoming environment which they can thrive in.
“To-date, we’ve filled our 125 places for tour members in 2023 and already reaching capacity for some events as we prepare to welcome hundreds of juniors of all ages throughout the season once again.
“We’re delighted to be heading to Scotland and the fantastic Lundin Links for the very first time this year too as we travel right across the North, building up to another exciting Grand Final at Thonock Park.”
The tour will also be hosting its first Adult & Junior Pairs event at Blackwell Grange Golf Club this year. The event takes place on Friday June 2 with tee times from 2pm.
