Suffolk Junior Championship

The Mackenzie Cup

CHAMPIONSHIP FORMAT

The Suffolk Junior Championship is a 36-hole singles medal. It is a joint event, held with the Suffolk Girls Championship, which any junior player who is a member of a club affiliated to the Suffolk Golf Union can enter. The county champions will be the boy and girl with the lowest scratch scores.

Entrants will be over 14 years of age and hold a handicap of 14 or less. Players younger who hold a handicap index may choose to play the 36 hole event. The 18 hole event will be a Stableford competition. 

The playing groups will normally be in 3 balls, in handicap order, with members of each group playing in the same competition. There will be separate scratch and handicap prizes in the boys and girls competitions, which will be scored individually. 

This is a qualifying event for the boys Junior Order of Merit. The top 4 boys qualify for the Suffolk Junior Matchplay Championship which will be held on Suffolk Matchplay Finals day, normally a Sunday in September. In the event that any qualifiers are unable to participate, their place will be offered to the next highest finisher. Should a Junior qualify for both the Presidents Mashie and the Junior Matchplay semi-finals the Presidents Mashie will take precedence.

The 2026 Championship will be played at Rushmere Golf Club, on Friday 29th May 2026.
