The 2004 JoM - First full Results
If you click on 'Junior Order of Merit' (Left), you will see the first update of the JoM for 2004 and heading the table is Andy Sullivan from Purley Chase after a win at the Schools and Runner-up places in the Boys and Mens Trials. Only 15% of the JoM points for 2004 have been distributed so far, so Andy has a long way to go and lots more golf to play if he is going to claim the JoM title.

The McEvoy and the 4 Counties Team
The week after Easter is always the date of the McEvoy trophy, 72 holes played over Copt Heath and open only to the best Boys in the Country. This year, the cut off point for handicaps was the lowest it has ever been and only three of our Juniors had made into the field, with Jak Hamblett, Boys Captain having to withdraw from both this competition and the 4 Counties, through injury late last week.
