Junior Section

At Kenwick Park we firmly believe that Junior Golf is a vital component of a successful golf club.

This is why we invest our time heavily to ensure any junior receives the very best in coaching and support. The club achieved the Golfmark Award and was awarded "High Acheiver" having met high standards in Coaching & Playing, Club Administration (including sports equity & ethics), and Child Protection & Duty of Care. Kenwick Park has the necessary facilities in place to ensure the safety of all children that we coach and the opportunity to offer youngsters everything they need to get the maximum enjoyment from the game of golf.

Despite the golf club being only 29 years old we have a rich history of developing junior golfers. This started when Eric Sharp was the Head Professional. Eric has coached players to various European Tour successes and a Ryder Cup team member. Paul Spence has been tasked with taking up the mantle left by Eric Sharp and he is making a fine job of it. 

Paul is also coaching our next crop of budding junior golfers with the help of his coaching team. We are not necessarily looking for the next Tiger Woods but what we take great pride in is bringing youngsters into the game that want to play golf, enjoy golf and uphold the traditions of the game. Golf is not only a great game for fitness, achieving personal goals and building friendships but it also gives youngsters a great start in life and the opportunity to mix with others from many different backgrounds.

A Junior membership at Kenwick Park comes with many additional benefits. We organise Junior Golf Clinics in the school holidays and coaching every other Saturday afternoon for our junior members at no extra cost. We have a Junior Team that competes in the local Lincolnshire League and juniors who achieve a handicap of 28 for boys, 36 for girls or better are eligible to play in the Mens and Ladies competitions. 

Help and advice is never far away, if you would like any more information about Junior Membership please contact Michael Langford on 01507 605134.

Meet our Junior Captain

Picture to Follow

Alex Louise Martin is our Junior Section Captain for 2024.

• When did you start playing golf?

I started golf at around 5-6 years old when my dad bought me some tiny clubs and let me hit some of those plastic practice balls. I probably started having lessons not long after with a coach named George and when he left I joined Nik’s girls group and there was probably 5 of us maximum. Overtime I kept growing and eventually joined junior members.

• What has your lowest handicap been?
   

The lowest handicap I have been is 15.9 which is my current one.

• Which Charity will you be supporting during your year? 

The charity I would like to support this year is NSPCC which gives children someone to talk to whether that being if they are being abused or struggling with something like mental health.

• What are your fondest memories of Kenwick Park?
   

My fondest memories of Kenwick park must be when we are on the course and just having fun playing golf even if we are playing not great. Playing on the course and getting experience is great but it is so much more enjoyable if you aren’t getting put down by the bad shots that everyone has.

• Outside of golf what is your most enjoyable hobby?

Golf is probably my main hobby is you think of it that way, but when I’m not at college studying or work I usually just listen to music on my record player while on my phone or x box. I used to have more hobbies like Hockey or attempting to play the guitar that sits in my bedroom (still can’t play)but those have been left completely.

• What is your favourite hole at Kenwick Park?

My favourite hole must be 7 as in the summer everything roles down and it’s also good for me as it’s a par 5.
 

• After Kenwick what is the best course that you have played?
   

My favourite course I’ve played other than Kenwick is Torrey Pines in California, USA but Kenwick will always be number 1.

• What is your favourite club in your golf bag?
   

My favourite club must be a 7 iron as I have probably saved myself with that club countless times.

• What is your go to order from Howard and Sammy in the clubhouse?

Oh this may be strange but either sausage and onion baguette or chilli and cheese chips I know is not the healthiest option but does taste good.

• Which three famous golfers or celebrities would make up your dream golfing 4 ball?
   

Rory Mcilroy, Nelly Korda and Tommy Fleetwood probably.

We have an ever growing 'Girls section' we are proud to announce Ruby Fox as our third Captain of our Junior Girls Section.
