. . . the place to be for events and results.

The Bristol & District Committe are looking for a new chairman for 2009 as Bob Perkins is stepping down after his many years of service. Please email Bob if you are interested in taking on this role.  This League is very important for the future of all junior golfers in the County.

The Bristol & District Junior Golf League was set up some years ago, its origins being lost in the mists of time. Certainly it was in existance during the 1970's when Mr. Des Alexander was the secretary.

The League operates to give young golfers the opportunity to play golf against other young golfers in a match-play situation and to give them a taste of competitive golf in a friendly atmosphere, supervised by adults.

There are 16 clubs divided into 3 sections of 5, 5 and 6 clubs per section. Matches are played on a home and away basis using EGU reccommendtions of full handicap allowance, with girls receiving courtesy shots accordingly. The winners of each section play off at the end of the season on a neutral course to decide the overall champions.

There are League Finals played every year, each club entering a team of four players, two with handicaps under 18 and two 18 and over. The format is stableford with the best three scores to count.

There is a 'Management Committee' consisting of three elected Junior Organisers plus the Secretary. This committee deals with any disputes which cannot be mutually resolved by the clubs.

Naturally there are some rules or guidelines to help clubs, organisers and players but these are kept to a minimum so as not to be restrictive. Application to join the league is simple. A club with junior golfers just applies to the secretary and they are considered and invited to become members depending on geographical location.
