Jack Marshall, Junior Captain 2011

Hello my name is Jack Marshall and I am very proud to be Junior Captain of New mills Golf Club in 2011. I am 14 years old and have been playing golf now for 6 years. I play off a handicap of 14 and I am looking to improve on that this year. I really enjoy playing here as it is a very welcoming club and Carl is a great supporting professional.

 

I enjoy the weekly junior competitions in the summer holidays and we have a very supportive junior organiser, David Hibbert, who will make all juniors feel welcome.

 

I have not played in any junior opens recently but I am planning on playing as many as I can in the future and I will try to persuade more juniors to play in them as well. I am also planning on trying to get in some more junior competitions on a regular basis to give the juniors more chance of lowering their handicap.

Joe Bowers - On Top of His Game PDF Print E-mail

Joe Bowers at New Mills Golf Club

Joe Bowers is on top of his game

On Wednesday 27 May 2009, Joe Bowers entered the Junior Open at Matlock Golf Course.

 

Joe Bowers had never played at Matlock Golf Course before but as a developing talent from New Mills Golf Club he looked forward to the challenge. The context was the Matlock Junior Open, and with it being the Daily Telegraph qualifyer he wondered about everything he'd heard about this testing and demanding course.

 

Stepping up on the first tee, donning waterproof trousers and a fleece and with his jacket tucked into his bag, he actually finished the round with no waterproofs and in just a t-shirt, probably wishing he had worn shorts. 

 

The golf seemed to follow the weather - bad to good as he shot a ropey 3-over par, 37 on the front nine with the second nine being a much better 2-under par, 34. With an unfortunate double bogey on the left dogleg Hole 12, which involved him calling a penalty, and missing an 'easy' three footer. He had to redeem himself and make up the two lost shots, and with an eagle on the short 478 yard, par 5 Hole 13, which consisted of a big drive down the right, a muscled 8 iron to 9 foot, and an easy downhill right breaking putt, he thankfully did so.
