The Ceredigion Junior Golf encourages junior sections of golf clubs across the county to promote golf among 5-18 year olds.
One of the activities which has been successfully implemented has been the training of junior leaders and activators to provide a safe, enjoyable and structured introduction to the game of golf for 5-10 year olds through the use of Tri-golf equipment.
The Ceredigion Junior League, a major event, was successfully organized in 2006 with teams from Aberystwyth, Borth & Ynyslas, Cardigan, Cilgwyn and Penrhos Golf Clubs taking part. Teams of 3 juniors competed in single matchplay events with handicap allowance given on a home and away basis. The overall winners of the league were Borth & Ynyslas juniors, who won 17 and drew 2 out of the 24 individual matches played.

Final league table results were:
1st Borth & Ynyslas GC 18 pts 2nd Cilgwyn Golf Club 9½ points
3rd Penrhos Golf Club 8 points 4th Cardigan Golf Club 6½ points
5th Aberystwyth Golf Club 6 points

Wales, represented by Becky Brewerton and Becky Morgan, finished a creditable 8th at the Women's World Cup of Golf in Sun City, South Africa.
The event was won by surprise package, Paraguay, with USA second and South Korea third.
Of the Home Nations, Scotland faired best, finishing joint 4th with Italy, then Wales in 8th, England 9th and Ireland a disappointing 21st.

The latest municipal facility to benefit from the Ryder Cup Wales Legacy Fund has been announced.
The Minister for Culture, Sport and the Welsh Language, Alun Pugh AM was at Heath Park in central Cardiff recently, with Councillor Nigel Howells, to confirm the award of a £60,000 grant towards improving and regenerating the 12 hole municipal facility.
This type of facility has been highlighted as an important stepping stone for beginners of all ages and abilities before progressing onto a full 18 hole championship golf course. Thus, providing a lasting Legacy in Wales from the hosting of the 2010 Ryder Cup at The Celtic Manor Resort, Newport.

Golf Development Wales wishes everyone involved in Welsh golf a very happy new year. Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i bawb ym myd Golff yng Nghymru.

Final figures are yet to be confirmed but it seems likely that the membership numbers for girls in Wales are significanty up on last years figures - continuing the upward trend of the last few years in Wales.
This is exemplified by Newport Links Golf Club in Pembrokeshire, where a very enthusiastic group of girls are having a great time perfecting their newly acquired skills and building lifelong friendships. The girls are pictured with club professional Alun Evans. Congratuations to the club and the band of dedicated volunteers such as Lynda Seaton.
