Somerset Golf Union

The Peter Green Trophy

the summer order of merit.

FINAL ESULTS U14/U16/U18 RESULTS

After 14 qualifying rounds, the results for the inaugural playing of the Peter Green Trophy have been finalised.

We are pleased to report that Tate Sinfield-Day has won the event on countback from Jack McMeekin. The two players were in fact tied on +6.1, however, Tate comes away with the trophy having the best non counting score.

All in all, 105 boys played in the qualifying events across the summer, which for its first year must be seen as a success. It has allowed boys to make themselves known the county who are currently not in any of the age group squads and serves as a real benefit to selectors when it comes to teams in 2025. Out of those that played only 24 played the necessary 5 events to have a counting score across the season and we should look to push this more in 2025.

Our thanks go out to all clubs that held Junior Opens in 2024.

Overall Results

First Tate Sinfield Day Average 6.1 over

Second Jack McMeekin Average 6.1 over (losing on countback)

Third Owen Roach Average 6.2 over

THE PETER GREEN TROPHY

The Peter Green Trophy is open to any Junior who is a registered member of a club that is affiliated to Somerset County, and an Order of Merit for golfers who are under 18 years of age at the start of the calendar year.

We maintain three distinct tables based on age groups. An under 18's and under 16's table, and an under 14 table where a 13 year old player can appear in both u16's and u14's. The same would apply to an u14's player, who can also appear in both u14, and u16's table.

All qualifying events are an important indicator to County selectors of a player's current ability and anybody who is interested in playing for the County should compete in as many of these events as possible.

SCORING SYSTEM

Any score returned in a qualifying event by an affiliated member of an SGU club who was under the age of 18 on 1st Jan 2024 will count towards the players overall score.

The overall score for each player will be calculated by aggregating their best five scores in any of the qualifying events against the course difficulty. The course difficulty is calculated by adding two key components of the World Handicap System i.e. the course rating and the playing conditions calculation.

The more you play, the better the chance of improving your score. The ranking within each age group will be calculated and the overall standings maintained in an order of merit table

HIGHEST POSITIONS

Players who have returned five or more scores in qualifying events.

Within this group, the highest placed player will be the one who has the lowest aggregate score of their best five scores against the course difficulty

The lowest placed player within this group will be the one who has the highest aggregate score of their best five scores against the course difficulty.

NEXT HIGHEST POSITIONS

Players who have returned four scores in qualifying events.Within this group, players will be ordered in relation to their aggregate score against the course difficulty in the events.

NEXT HIGHEST POSITIONS

Players who have returned three scores in qualifying eventsâ€¦â€¦.and so on.

Prizes will be awarded at the end of the season to the leading players in each of the age related tables. A player may win more than one prize.

In the event of a tie for one of these places, the higher prize is awarded to the player who scored the lowest score against the course difficulty in any single event. If still tied, then the prize is awarded to the player with the next lowest score against the course difficulty in any single event, and so on.

If both players have identical records for the season then the prize is shared.

Any score recorded by a player who chose to play in a qualifying event rather than a Somerset County match will not count towards the overall score for that player.

Note: The published tables only include players for whom we have a confirmed age. Whilst we have confirmed ages for the vast majority of players in our database, new players are constantly coming through, and as such it sometimes takes time to catch up on the administration.

If you notice a missing player please contact us. An updated series of tables will be always be published on the SGU website when we receive any information that would cause them to change.
