COVID19 Guidance
HLSGC Junior Section Stay Safe – Play Safe Policy
Juniors under 14 being permitted to play only with an playing adult member or must be accompanied with a parent/guardian.
It would be impossible to cater for every individual circumstance so despite any arrangement families may have outside of the golf club, we would expect full social distance guidelines as set by the government to be followed. Therefore, while it would be acceptable for a junior to play socially distanced golf with a member of another household, a member of their own household should be present and responsible for their adherence to such guidelines and transport them to and from the course.
Out of our duty of care to Juniors (under 14 years old) we would therefore request all juniors playing with a member of another household be accompanied with a parent/guardian .
Current PLAY SAFE STAY SAFE rules are kept constantly under review as Official advise changes.
Booking process
Juniors playing with a playing member as outlined above should be booked via BRS by the adult member with the junior name entered at the point of booking. . Juniors playing with a non member parent/guardian supervising can also book 1 single tee slot via BRS .
Juniors can register on BRS to create an account using the link.
We recommend parent/guardian contact details are used when registering the junior’s account and that any junior booking is made by an adult.

2020 Junior Captain’s Message
Back in 2013 I started playing golf. My dad would take me along to Sharpley driving range every Wednesday night and Saturday mornings for golf lessons. I never imagined battling through the cold, thinning golf balls and waking up so early would become my passion. Seven years later I have the amazing honour to be Junior Captain at the golf club I love and cherish.
I am currently studying Sports Science at Durham University, we cover many topics such as psychology and sport industries. I believe both of these are key parts to golf and I would love to share my knowledge and interest with the junior section. Gaining more young interest in the world of Golf is very important to me. Keeping the game alive and allowing others to experience the family nature of Houghton golf club is a goal I wish to accomplish.
I would like to thank James Howell for the opportunity to be Junior Captain in 2020.
I am looking forward to the season and working with James as my vice-captain. As well as meeting all of my juniors.
