Coby Carruthers 2022 All Schools.

AFTER two years of Covid-19 related cancellations, the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation (JNJG) ‘Fayde Junior Matchplay’ is back on the calendar and has found a new home in 2022, with the beautiful Magenta Shores Golf and Country Club set to host the tournament over Thursday 6th and Friday 7th October.

The averages are calculated from events held over the past nine months, starting with the 2021 Brett Ogle Junior Masters in November, right through to the 2022 Greg Chalmers Junior Masters at Shelly Beach on the last weekend in July.

A number of reserves have also been included, should players in the Top 8 who have automatically qualified not be able to take part in the tournament.
