WELCOME TO BRORA JUNIOR GOLF CLUB      

At Brora Juniors we encourage every youngster to join us in playing a game which provides fresh air and exercise in one of the most beautiful locations possible along with friendship, discipline and a competitive spirit  

And all for less than £30 per year.  

In fact, we actively recruit primary school pupils from the local schools through the Clubgolf scheme and they are all provided with beginners coaching every Friday afternoon during the may to September season—totally free of charge—and then they are encouraged to join the club and to play in our weekly junior competitions which are graded to suit all abilities, experiences and all ages.  

During the 2008 summer season some 30 or more children attended the Clubgolf coaching with many going on to join the club and the most promising 12 being selected for a fabulous day's play at Gleneagles in October!!!

Our junior golf club has over 90 members of which around half are local children and the rest are regular summer holidaymakers who have discovered the informality and friendship of Brora and the superb golf course that we play on.
 
We encourage and welcome boys and girls to join us and are encouraged by the growing number of girls taking up the game. For such a small and remote club we are fortunate to have Brian Anderson as our professional – as he is enthusiastic about junior golf development and actively encourages and coaches our junior golfers including winter indoor classes on Monday evenings as we strive to bring out the best in our young members.
 
Brora is supported by 5 of our adult members who have taken their PGA/Clubgolf coaching certificates so that they too can help bring out the skills of our young members—and success in that respect can be demonstrated.

The club sponsors the first and the largest “Generation Foursomes” in Scotland every july — an event designed to encourage adult golfers to play with juniors in a competitive environment and to commit to the ethos and the etiquette of golf.

The club hosts the Ronan Rafferty Junior Open every June.

The junior section plays regular matches against the Ladies, the Senior Golfers sections and against the men’s golf club section to sharpen their competitive skills and to help them learn from their adult opponents—mind you the kids usually win!!!!


Brora Junior Golf Club boasts the winner of the Scottish and North of England Faldo Championship (Calum Stewart) and he has been selected to represent his country in several Internationals and in the Faldo World Championships in Brazil Calum has also won many Junior Opens and the Sutherland County Championship.

We are proud to have amongst our members the winner of the Highland Junior Masters (Ian Stewart) and thanks to the financial support of adult members and sports funding agencies towards transport costs our juniors have competed all over Caithness, Sutherland and Ross-shire with considerable success. They have returned with over 100 prizes to Brora.  Regular winners have been— Alister MacDonald, Liam MacDonald, Calum Stewart, Ian Stewart, Struan Gunn, Craig Sutherland, Kyle Sutherland, Michael MacLean and James Ross along with our leading girls Natalie Sutherland and Greta Gauche.

Our juniors play competitively every Monday from may to September in medals, Stablefords, Foursomes and in match play Club Championships and eclectic trophies. They are encouraged to strive for adult handicaps and are welcome to play in the adult events within the club – and are often very successful.

An International Exchange has been set up between our club and Bonmont GC near Geneva which allows 2 of our Juniors aged 15 to spend 2 weeks in July in Switzerland playing in all the available Swiss Junior Opens and being coached by the professionals there while enjoying the hospitality of at club and its members—then in return 2 Bonmont Junior members will spend the middle 2 weeks in August in Brora playing all the junior Opens in Caithness Sutherland and beyond while staying with families locally.
 
The club is in good heart and looks forward to 2009 and beyond as it encourages the players of the future to come through and bring credit to the club and themselves while enjoying friendship and the fun of playing a great game in a wonderful place.

If you are aged between 8 and 17 why not join us???
