Junior Open Series
2025
The Suffolk Golf Union alongside the Suffolk Ladies County Golf Association, have commenced the Junior Open Series for 2025, with all fixture dates detailed below.
Designed to help promote the growth of junior golf within the county for both boys and girls.
Not only does it encourage golfers to engage with other like minded youngsters, it will help their development on and off the golf course by offering a platform to enjoy, compete, improve and develop their personal attributes within a safe and friendly environment.
2025 Series
The third Junior Open of 2025 was held at Newton Green Golf Club on Sunday, the 8th June.
The tournament attracted another good number of entries again, up from last year and was played in good conditions across this lovely golf course in the centre of the village.
The players from Bury St Edmunds did very well, with young Jacob Severn scoring the best of the field with an excellent gross 71, with Oliver Jones and Ethan McCleary closely behind on 74.
Local player Josh Arnold took the lowest net with a superb 65, just pipping Jacob Severn on a net 66. Some new names appear on the list with many travelling quite a distance to compete.
Jacob Severn now takes the lead in the scratch Junior Open Series with Finley Edwards of Stowmarket slightly ahead in the net competition.
Sadly, no Girls entered this tournament so the results remain the same as at the Thorpeness competition.
Another successful Junior Open completed, early days and as mentioned, good to see a few new names appearing on the leader boards
