Market Harborough Golf Club

Junior Golf

Welcome to Junior Golf

Market Harborough Golf Club has a flourishing Junior Section of over 110 members run by our Junior Golf Organiser Jane Burley in conjunction with our Professional Kegan Jamieson and a number of volunteers. We aim to offer the chance to have fun, learn and play golf in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Boys and girls participate on an equal basis and are offered experienced coaching and competitive opportunities. Our juniors have the opportunity to use our clubhouse, practice facilities, Simulator, 5 Hole Academy Course and the main golf course (subject to ability and handicap) as well as the chance to play on our 9 Reciprocal courses, Junior and Senior competitions and inter club matches.

Junior can also apply for a Members Bar Card which can be used to purchase soft drinks, food from the Bar and goods from the Pro Shop. We find this gives Parents/Cares the peace of mind that their children do not have to carry cash when they are at the Club.

For membership enquiries contact our pro shop on 01858 463684 (option 2) or email at p roshop@mhgolf.co.uk

For all other enquiries contact Jane Burley on 07885311641.

Junior Captain – Freddie Pounder

I am honoured to be the 2025-2026 Junior Captain, and I am thrilled for the upcoming golf season.

I am 14 years old and have been playing golf competitively for 5 years now. In this time, I have reduced my handicap from 36 to 7.

At the Club I have played in many men’s and junior competitions, coming away with wins in both sections. This is a huge achievement of mine and I have learnt and improved my game. My love for the game has driven me to work hard and enabled me to play within the Fairway Legends Tour, The Leicestershire and Rutland County events and many other Club junior opens. This has led to me not only representing the Market Harborough Golf Club Junior team in county matches, but I have also represented the county of Leicestershire & Rutland in many tournaments over the East Midlands at the Under 14's & Under 16’s level. Last year I won the L&RGU under 14’s championship, managing to retain the title from the previous year. I have also won many of the Fairway Legends events.

I look forward to welcoming new juniors to the Club. I hope many of which will play in both the junior and men’s competitions so the juniors can gain valuable experiences and most importantly have fun. Alongside this, I also hope to lead the junior league team to a successful year.

I will be around to help and encourage all juniors, and I wish the best for everyone in the upcoming season.

Alongside me for this season, I will be accompanied by my Vice-Captain Jude Beale.

Many thanks,

Freddie Pounder
