James came 5th out of 96 juniors at the recent Branston Junior Club Championships – another excellent result. He netted 69 in round 2 – well done James!
James has successfully qualified for the Staffordshire Future Stars golf program for a second season – well done James. Training starts 21st July.
“This was an amazing day that I will never forget. I am so lucky!! Lee Westwood is Wonderful. Cheers Lee for making me feel special.” James
As the highest junior fundraiser in the country for the British Heart Foundation (over £600), James had a personal invitation to attend a celebrity charity day at Close House Golf Course, The highlight of the day was spending time with his hero Lee Westwood who is patron of the BHF. James is pictured here with Lee Westwood (left) and Alan Shearer (right). Also in their 4-ball were Ant & Dec. James certainly gets about!

Missed out!! So I will be caddying for my mate Jake Partridge who qualified in 13-14 Boys.
Thanks for all your support and comments, it does really help.
A bit later…Jack won his game 3&2. James reckoned it was down to him on the bag bringing calm to the game!!
Europe trashed the rest of the world 7 – 3. Great result well done Europe. Out tonight with for the farewell dinner. Paris tomorrow & back in Barton Under Needwood on Sunday, hopefully just in time for the Branston Junior match.
Finished with another 85 so a bit disappointed, currently 7th need to be in top six to qualify for the finals tomorrow.
Waiting for the last few groups to come in fingers crossed. May just have missed out by 1 shot.
Double bogey on 17th might have cost me!! Keep you posted. Call me Mr Consistent.
Playing partners – Round 2, good guys.
First round today, shot 85 – not at my best. Putting let me down today.
In 3rd place, 4 shots of the lead. Need to practice putting now.
Two more rounds soI hope to make those shots back.
Keep you posted tomorrow.
Made it. Long way but worth it just look at that view behind me. Off for a chip and putt while Dad has a well deserved beer for driving me over here. Cheers Dad <3
James’ recent win at Wildwood Golf and Country Club has clearly inspired several local editors as he has appeared in Staffordshire Life, Streets Ahead and the Burton Mail. The fact that he is representing the UK in the Callaway Junior World Tournament in San Diego this July has certainly put James in the spotlight this month.
