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!

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.
