NEW Hampshire Golf president John Moore will be hoping to see results of his previous role at the county golf union bear fruit over the next couple of seasons.

Having managed Hampshire’s junior programme over the past four years, the conveyor belt of talent shows little sign of slowing down for the Blackmoor member.

In the past four years Hampshire have produced the youngest-ever English Amateur Champion in nearly a century of the country’s blue riband event, when 16-year-old Harry Ellis, from Meon Valley Golf and Country Club, broke Sir Nick Faldo’s record of having won the title aged 18 back in 1975.

Since then Scott Gregory has blossomed from being a member of the 2012 team that reached the English Boys Final, to breaking into the ultra-competitive Hampshire men’s team, reaching the English Amateur final two years ago at the age of 19.

Rowlands Castle’s Billy McKenzie was also a member of that team, and he made good strides in his first two seasons at William Woods University, in Missouri, where he won the Phil Mickelson award as the most outstanding freshman in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.

And last season, another Meon Valley teenager – George Saunders, the reigning Hampshire under-16 champion – became the latest junior from the county ranks to earn England recognition when he was called up to play for England under-16s against Wales in August, having finished third in the Sir Henry Cooper Masters, at Nizels, in Kent.
