Dateline: 8 October 2006
 Jamie-Leigh Voss (right) from Western
Park Golf Club and Max Orrin (below right) from the
North Foreland Golf Club have been crowned YMG Junior
Masters Champions for 2006.
The youngsters secured their titles at the National
final, held at the Warwickshire Golf & Country Club
near Warwick.
The superb Kings Course at The Warwickshire was the
tough challenge for the 130 boys and girls who had qualified
for the National Final at events up and down the the
UK and Ireland during July and August.
Flag format
Playing a flag-golf format, youngsters were allocated
a set number of shots dependent on their age and then
played the 5,500 yard course until they had used all
their strokes.
Despite the beautifully prepared course playing extremely
long in damp conditions, there was some awe-inspiring
golf from the youngsters in all age groups, with more
than a dozen players making it past the 18th hole with
their shot allocation.
Orrin takes it to the max!
 Included in these
was 11 year-old Max Orrin, who used his shots to get
all the way to the 20th green. Having finished runner-up
in last year's YMG Juniors Masters, Max was determined
to make the title his this year and in a stunning
display of controlled golf made it all the way to the
20th green, finishing a full hole ahead of the rest
of the field to claim the overall title of YMG Junior
Masters Boys Champion 2006.
Jamie-Leigh's winning putt
The battle for the girls' crown was extremely
tense with the result only settled on the 18th green
when 12 year-old Jamie-Leigh Voss saw her final putt
drop into the hole to secure her the title of YMG Junior
Masters Girls Champion 2006.
There were age category wins for Andrew Stevenson,
Leavi Voss, Ryan Thomas, Freya Barksby, Josh Knight,
Olivia Winning, Greg Denton, Fay Carpenter, Joshua Davenport
and Megan Dennis in what proved to be a stunning day's
golf from youngsters the game of golf will surely be
seeing a lot more of.
