THOSE PESKY JUNIORS!!

These juniors that the OP is accusing of wrongly winning the prizes from a competition, are they being given cash (very rare from clubs I know) or are they being given vouchers for the pro shop which in turn means the money is going back into the club anyway. Admittedly they may have a shinier set of clubs than you from their winnings, but it is not as if they are raking in the tax free earnings is it?

I will answer that question Eagle. The winnings are usually split 50/50. Half the money goes to pro-shop account and other half is cash.

Thanks for the response it does help explain why you may feel slightly aggrieved. I'm surprised the club is actually happy to hand out cash like that but there we go.

I still maintain though that whilst that is the club system juniors playing with a congu handicap have as much right to win / enter competitions as any full member.

I'm surprised the club gives out the cash to juniors at all. We don't get any cash prizes at all and winners get pro-shop vouchers to spend and their prize on presentation night.

I thought golf was one of the last few sports where 'amateurs' weren't allowed to win money?

No you can as an amateure win money at golf but there is a limit to it.

I think it's around £200, but don't quote me on that
