Exciting future for junior golf

Friday 21 June 2024

The Royal Guernsey Golf Club Junior section will get a financial lift which will help grow the game.

Having supported RGGC juniors for more than two years, Rihoy & Son has just increased the value of the firm’s sponsorship and renewed it for a further three years.

The sponsorship covers all competitions this summer including annual team matches against other sections of RGGC and external teams; the Junior Open; the Order of Merit and the Green Jackets matches. 

If the team are successful, it also includes the finals in Hampshire.

The 2024 team Captain, Jayden Tucknott said: “The sponsorship is extremely important to the club as it enables juniors to travel off island as a team to play events against the Jersey and UK clubs. It also allows the club to produce prizes for the junior competitions. This increases the number of players in competitions, who are key to Guernsey achieving success at junior level and important in producing the next generation of the island’s talent.”

Director Jeremy Rihoy, a keen golfer, said: “We are proud to have been supporting golf at the Royal Guernsey for many years. Junior golf is in a great place now and has an exciting future ahead which we are excited to be a part of. We were very keen to provide the platform for juniors to enjoy even greater success.”
