2024 Junior Season Review

10th January 2025

2024 was an exceptional year for the Goodwood Juniors.

The 2024 Junior season kicked off with eight Winter League events on The Downs course, taking place through the Winter and Spring months. The winner of the overall league is taken from the best four scores of each player from the total eight events, with Tommy Harber taking the trophy for 2024. On his way to winning the 2024 Winter League, Tommy won five of the six events he played in, with his highest induvial stableford points being 47 points. He amassed 174 points as his best four scores, with Leo Camping in second place on 159 points.

The Titleist Series kicked off in May with 12 events across the Summer and Autumn period, with one stableford and one medal being played in each month. Two order of merits run alongside the individual events, with one focussing on the Gross scores and one focusing on the Nett and stableford scores. Leo Camping won four of the nine events he played in to win the Titleist Gross Order of Merit, with Cameron McLeod finishing 13 points behind in 2^nd Place. The Nett Order of Merit was won by Cameron, with 61 points and although he only won one of the eight events he played in, he proved to be the most consistent player throughout the series.

Following the conclusion of the Nett Order of Merit the top 16 players go through to the Matchplay Championships where the juniors play a knockout style tournament in back to back weeks to determine the Matchplay winner. Wilf Walters won four separate matches to win the championship, with his biggest margin of victory being 3&2 in the first round against Peter Thorne.

Team Goodwood also had success in regional leagues and competitions, with the team participating in the West Sussex League against clubs such as Cowdray, West Sussex Golf Club and Ham Manor. The team won their league, being successful in three of the four events that took place. Team Goodwood also won the West Sussex junior invitation, as the team of Adam Mainwaring, Rocco Bateman, Cameron McLeod and Tom Ford won comfortably, with 113 points in a best three scores to count format. Cameron McLeod also won the individual award, with a brilliant round in testing conditions.

Those juniors who show and exceptional commitment to the Golf At Goodwood junior competitions are more susceptible to being picked for Team Goodwood matches. Those juniors who continue to perform at a high level will also be in contention for Team Goodwood matches.
