YMG Junior Masters dates announced

Dateline: May 2006

The schedule for the YMG Junior Masters 2006 tournament has been announced.

The tournment, which is open to all YMG junior golfers aged 16 years or under (on 1st January 2006), will visit 14 venues up and down the UK and Ireland, building to a National Final in the early autumn. The tournament kicks off on Monday 24 July in Northern Ireland and will be followed by three regional qualifiers in Ireland, before moving across the Irish Sea to the South West & Wales qualifier in South Gloucestershire.

Scotland, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, East Yorkshire, Dorset, Essex, Middlesex and Lancashire will follow, with the final qualifier taking place on Friday 25 August at Morley Hayes in Derbyshire.

Extensive programme..."
"It's an extensive programme of qualifiers for this year's YMG Junior Masters," confirmed YMG's Dave Gosling, "but we wanted to give as many boys and girls as possible the chance to compete in the tournament, which is why we have added extra events and venues this year."

Last year saw some 1,400 junior golfers between the ages of 4 and 16 compete for a place in the National Final, and this year the event will attract even more.

"Welcome to take part..."
"Every YMG Junior Member is welcome to take part in the tournament," said Dave Gosling "and they are guaranteed to have a brilliant day whichever event you choose to take part in."

He continued: "Entries open on Monday May 2, when the entry form will be available for download from the YMG Junior Golf mwebsite.

"However, we wanted to announce the dates for the events as soon as possible so that junior golfers and their families can start to plan their summer schedule."
