Ampfield’s Head Professional Wins Order of Merit for the 8th Time
Ampfield's Jon Barnes has won the Lawrence Clarke sponsored Hampshire PGA Order of Merit for 2011. It is the 8th time that Jon has won the Order of Merit title since 1996.
Jon finished the Hampshire PGA season over 40 points ahead of Andrew Cloke (Corhampton) with Rob Gowers (South Winchester) in third place.
Although Jon only won two events in the 2011 season (Paultons Golf Centre Pro-Am & HA Fox Alresford GC Pro-Am) he was the model of consistency with a whole host of top six finishes.
Lawrence Clarke will be sponsoring the Order of Merit again in 2012.

FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Ampfield will be investing in a state of the art outdoor artificial green, which performs like a tour green. This will be an attractive addition to our fantastic golf club.
If you are not chipping the ball pure our new green will let you know. That’s where our Head Professional will come in, providing coaching on the fundamentals of chipping and putting to improve your game!
This facility will be unique in the county and extremely popular and very addictive, as you will be hitting off a perfect lie to a perfect green. This emphasizes our commitment to excellence at Ampfield Golf Club.
We look forward to seeing you at the club. This facility will only be available for Ampfield golf club members and anyone having a supervised lesson with our head professional Jon Barnes.
ANNUAL HAMPSHIRE PGA SHORT COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS
Friday 26 August 2011. Further information will be detailed very soon.
The Junior Golf Academy is open to all young players up to and including the age of 16.
The section will meet from 2 pm to 4 pm every Sunday afternoon. An organized program will ensure that there will be an opportunity for all to practice in a competitive game of golf each week, depending on individual ability.
As well as the game, there will be coaching available from our Head PGA Teaching Professional – Jon Barnes. This will be a group session for up to 8 Juniors at a time, and will last for one hour.
Juniors may come along just for the Competition, or just for the coaching, or for both. We also hope to encourage social interaction amongst juniors during each afternoon meeting.
Our published Junior membership for the club is £100. From now on, this figure will only apply to those aged 11 to 16. A new membership rate of £50 will apply to those who wish to join aged 10 and under. Membership gives full access to the course at any time, provided a tee time is booked with the Pro-shop beforehand. Junior members with a club handicap are also eligible for entry into all club competitions following the applicable rules of each competition.
Costs for a Sunday afternoon will be just £1 for club members to play in the organized competition. Those who have not taken up membership are also welcome, but they will be asked for a green fee of an additional £5 for the afternoon. The group coaching sessions will cost £5 each time, but there is no requirement for anyone to commit themselves to taking any particular number of sessions.
