Junior Patrons 2024

LINCOLNSHIRE  COUNTY  JUNIOR  GOLF  PATRONS

The Lincolnshire County Junior Patrons is a society based amongst both the lady and gentlemen members of the golf clubs of Lincolnshire. They make a significant contribution towards the organisation of the county boys and girls junior golf programme. By paying a small yearly subscription, £10:00, the Patrons are invited to play in four Patrons individual Stableford competitions each year at various courses across the county. The contributions made by the Patrons each year help a great deal towards paying for junior golf coaching, prizes, travel and other expenses. The Patrons must be members of a Lincolnshire golf club with a valid handicap index. Prizes are awarded at each event for both ladies and gents and at the end of the year the lady and gent with the best score of the year each receive a much sort after annual trophy – “The Secretary’s Cup”.

The Planned events for 2024 are:

Market Rasen Golf Club - Friday 26th April

South Kyme Golf Club - Friday 31st May 

Spalding Golf Club - 27th September

Lincoln Golf Club - 25th October

Membership of the Patrons is of limited numbers so that we minimise the disruption to the host clubs activities and also to give registered Patrons a fair opportunity in applying to play in these popular events. The registration form, which includes fixture dates, is available on the LUGC web site or available from the junior organiser. The forms for the Patrons’ events will be sent out  to all previously registered Patrons for renewal. The current entry to each competition, including meal , will be £25.00
