Welcome to the Junior Section of The Wychwood Golf Club.

The club has enjoyed considerable success over the years even though the Junior Team squad is rather smaller than other clubs within Oxfordshire.

The team have been lucky enough to have won the Oxfordshire Junior League's Smedley Shield Junior Team Medal Championship 3 times, in 1996, 2003 & 2005. We have seen outstanding individual performances from Chris Hollingdale, reaching the Finals of the Daily Telegraph Junior Championships at Sea Island, Georgia , USA . Added to which several of our juniors have gone on to represent the County at B. B. & O. level and, at present we still have some juniors involved with the County.

At present one of younger junior members Benjamin Killackey has qualified through two stages of the HSBC Wee Wonders and made it to the grand final at St Andrews. Ben won his local qualifier quite convincingly and came a close runner up in the regional qualifier to qualify for the grand final. The final will take place in August this year so we all wish Benjamin best of luck in the final.
