Meet the HWCC Junior Squad

13/9/2021

0 Comments

 
Our club is building a reputation for being open to all ages!  At the younger end we have seen up to six young players taking part in our regular Junior Squad Training Sessions each Wednesday at 1800 hrs.  Please see attached photo when we snapped five of them!

The squad has benefitted by learning from a number of coaches who have supported them during the year - special thanks to Raouf Allim, Michael Bowker and Alan Clark, who have covered both AC and GC.

One highlight of the year was a 2-day Junior Improver Course held at Wrest Park, led by Lionel Tibble, attended by four of our players when they had the opportunity to spend some time with Aston Wade, the new CA GC Champion, who has only recently left the under-18 category! 

As a near-end-of-season special, a GC Challenge Handicap match was held between HWCC Seniors (Nigel Clogg and Carole Lawther) and two of the Juniors.  While the Seniors were indeed ‘challenged’, on the evening it was their experience which carried the day: 2-0.  Lessons were learned about the use of extra strokes - which are no help if the tokens are still in your pocket at the end of the game!  Would the result have been the same if the new 'Advantage GC' rules had been applied?

Onwards and upwards for our Juniors in 2022!

The Recreation Ground is on the A404.  If approaching from the north, travel 400m south from the Hazlemere double roundabout, slow down at Holy Trinity Church on your left and look for a small road on your right with Croquet Club and Recreation Ground signs. Coming from the south (High Wycombe) direction, we are about a kilometre north of the Royal Grammar School.
