On 15th August the Junior Club Championship was played, a highly competitive day in the junior calendar.
Even though he was trying to win the scratch prize Harrion Costello came in as the winner of the best nett with a nett 69, winning on a back 9 count back to Ozzie May.
The winner of the scratch Junior Club Championship was Haiden Matos with his gross 72, winning by a shot to Harrison's gross 73.
Congratulations to both.
With over 40 boy and girl junior members and with handicaps ranging from Category 1 to Category 4, Dartford Golf Club is a great place learn, improve, and play golf in safe environment.

This gives all Junior members good access to, and familiarity with, our golf course.
