More than 40 golfers from the southern counties and Guernsey took part in Petersfield Golf Club’s annual Junior Open on May 30.

The under-18 field for the Hampshire Golf Order of Merit tour event included boys and girls of varying age, experience and handicap.

Donovan Hall and Chris Dowty run the junior section at Petersfield Golf Club. Donovan said: "I have been running the Operation 36 programme for the juniors for four years now and it has been an absolute joy to coach, mentor and witness these young golfers develop and now reach the stage of being able to compete in the Hampshire Golf Order of Merit tour."

Dylan Watson of the Army Golf Club posted the best gross score and Sofiya Wickens of Corhampton Golf Club recorded the best net score.

At the prize giving ceremony Petersfield Golf Club manager Katie Laud congratulated all the players and thanked local company McDonald Homecare for sponsoring the junior section.
