The Shires Junior Golf Tour organise a collection of quality junior golf events around the Midlands for boys and girls of all ages and abilities at the best venues.
These events provide fun, yet competitive, golf whilst offering some unique and wonderful prizes to the leading players on the day.
We take as much pride from introducing and encouraging a new player into golf with our mini tour as we do in helping develop the potential champions of the future in the 18 hole division.
Everyone is welcome and we look forward to seeing you take part in The Shires Junior Golf Tour.
We run 11 events per year all around the Midands. 9 Order of Merit events and 2 Special Team events. One Sunday a month around 12pm tee off!
Our tournaments are jam packed with fun. Expect lots of challenges, a grand first tee experience, lots of laughs and fantastic prizes.
The tee sheets and prizes at each event are broken into divisions:
Each division play from handicap qualifying tees. The tees get progressively further back as juniors get older. We reward the top 5 in each division at every event.
We run two Order of Merits throughout the season:
The Fairway Legends OOM
The Masters OOM takes the 5 best results from all events. The winners are announced at the grand final. They win a gigantic Fairway Legends voucher to spend against a fitted set of clubs at Ping HQ.
The Evergreen Occasions OOM
This Order of Merit is sponsored by Elowen Horticulture and rewards loyalty to the tour. This league takes all OOM points from every event our juniors play in. The leaders of the Evergreen OOM then have a headstart at the final event at a very special venue. The winners of this tournament win the Evergreen Trophy and fantastic Prize.
Scoring
The tour prides itself in using the latest scoring technology. We use GolfGenius software. All players input their scores into a mobile device which updates automatically to the live leaderboard in the clubhouse! Everything is set up up before play, so, the players can just focus on playing!
Handicaps
The tour is WHS authorised. This means we will update handicaps before play and adjust handicaps accordingly after play. Players are put into handicap divisions depending go their handicap. Mini tour players can move into a handicap division once they are ready.
Prizes are given out at each event. The lucky winners receive vouchers to spend online at Fairway Legends (partners of the tour). This can be used against golf products, merchandise and event indoor studio sessions.
These can be spent at fairway-legends.co.uk
We also give spot prizes for nearest to pins/ longest drives at each event and awards are given to some challenges set by the tour at the events.
The main OOM prizes include a round with LPGA Star Charley Hull, Custom Fitted Ping Clubs, 4 Ball Vouchers at some amazing courses and more. The Shires Tour truly provides opportunities like no other.
