Junior Order of Merit

About the Junior Order of Merit

Founded in 2015 to help improve participation and develop junior golf within the Halifax, Huddersfield District.

The Order of Merit is complied based upon results for all players participating in a number of Junior Opens organised and run by the host clubs throughout the Halifax & Huddersfield district in order to provide a season long competition which encourages juniors to compete at as many of these open events as possible.

Both 18 hole Strokeplay and 9 hole competitions are offered at all venues (Union Junior Strokeplay 18 holes only) with a fantastic prize fund to be won at the end of the season.

Each individual Junior Open will award prizes in both 9 and 18 hole competitions and scores will be awarded for each event based on finishing place in each competition. These will be collated and updated throughout the season and regular updates of top 20 standings posted on the website.

 The Halifax, Huddersfield & District Union of Golf Clubs host the Junior Stroke Play event, all other events are organised by and the responsibility of the host club.
