Jack Newton Junior Golf
The inaugural JNJG Junior AM

Jack Newton Junior Golf and Golf NSW were pleased to be able to hand over $10,000 to Golf Illawarra for the development of junior golf in the region.  The inaugural JNJG Junior AM took place last month at The Grange Golf Club with 26 groups getting involved in the initiative developed to support junior golf.  In breezy and testing conditions sponsors, club members and junior golfers took part in a fun Ambrose event with the goal of raising funds for the host region of the Subaru State Championships.  It is hoped that this Junior AM will become a regular part of the State Championships and junior golf can continue to develop all across NSW.

There were a number of major sponsors who got involved in the event, including Titleist, Subaru, Gerard Malouf and Partners, Fenton and Associates and Wests Illawarra.  Other corporate partners who took part in the event were Bass Electrical Engineering, Illawarra Academy of Sport, Rapid Cool, Pendle Inn, Golf NSW, Golf Illawarra, MM Electrical Merchandising, AHA, Wollongong Golf Club and Dapto Leagues Club.

Golf Clubs from across the Illawarra also took part in the tournament and brought along one of their juniors to play.  These clubs included Russell Vale, The Links Shell Cove, Wollongong, Port Kembla, Mt Broughton, Moss Vale, The Grange, Highlands and Shoalhaven Heads.
