Warwickshire Golf, in partnership with Warwickshire Ladies County Golf Association and Progress Junior Golf, will be holding a Junior Order of Merit in 2025. This will be split into a Spring Series and Summer Series.
Competitions will take place at some of the leading Golf Clubs in the county, as the youngsters aim for the top prize in the 18-hole gross and net categories for both boys and girls, as well as trying to secure their invite to the Grand Final at the end of the season.
A nine-hole Order of Merit for both boys and girls will also be held, as we look to encourage higher handicappers and younger golfers. Invites will once again be up for grabs in the Grand Final.
Order of Merit points are awarded based on a junior’s position in various categories in these events. For the full details, please click Warwickshire Junior Order of Merit Rules.
