30th June 2010 - Two days of highly competitive golf has kicked off the Summer Holidays for our Junior Section as we staged a mini Ryder Cup. The USA team, captained by Al Forbes, triumphed over Allan Bryson's Team Europe. The quality of the golf and the fun and laughter had over the two days proves the strength of our Junior Section and sets the scene for a fun-filled summer at Carmuirs. More details and lots of pictures on the dedicated Junior Section Website.

18th June 2010 - Carmuirs Junior Stuart Murray tonight finished as runner-up in the County Junior Strokeplay Championship. Stuart was behind in the early part of the match until he fought back to gain a one up lead at the eleventh. Unfortunately his opponent, Alastair Nibloe of Grangemouth, turned this around after Stuart found trouble at the 12th. Stuart battled on keeping the match alive, even when two down with two to play. Chipping in at the 17th to bring himself back to one down the match went to the 18th where a halved hole meant victory for the Grangemouth player. A great support from Falkirk travelled up to Callander to support Stuart and he was warmly congratulated by all on his great golf in the match.

17th June 2010 - Carmuirs Junior Stuart Murray qualified in emphatic style last night for the County Junior Strokeplay Championship Final. His 6 & 5 win sets him up for Friday Night's final at Callendar Golf Club. Our other Junior in the semis, Stuart Irving, unfortunately lost his match on the last hole but did the club and himself proud and should be really pleased of his achievement. The final is teeing off at 5pm on Friday, so why not take the short trip up to Callendar and give Stuart your support?

17th April 2010 - The Junior Spring Shield Competitions were decided in glorious weather on Monday this week amongst the highest ever recorded number of Junior competitors - 47 in total. Aaron Beattie played some outstanding golf to lift the title on the Wee Course. Andrea Walker narrowly edged out her younger brother Cameron to take the honours on the Blue Tees, whilst John Bateman won by the closest of margins from Ellen Forbes on a count-back. Well done to all.

10th April 2010 - The Green Jacket, trophies and live leaderboard attracted much interest in the clubhouse as the junior Section played out the final round of The Junior Masters yesterday. Stephanie Kerr and Marcus Sneddon maintained their leads throughout the final day to lift the Wee Course and Blue Tee titles respectively. Lewis Fox stormed through the field to become the first ever winner of the Green Jacket on the Yellow and White Tees with a brilliant round, scoring a net 59. Full report, scores and more pictures on the Junior Section website.

5th April 2010 - The Junior Season got off to a brilliant start yesterday with the curtain-raising Junior Captain versus Vice Captain Match taking place. 

The match itself was drawn after every player teed off from the elevated white tee at the first, a daunting shot for the first time for some of the younger Juniors.

Following on from this match the Winter Prize-giving took place in a packed club-house where there was standing room only for the late arrivals. 

Every Junior attending received at least one prize, with top prize-winners Craig Bryson and Ryan Ledwidge lifting the Overall Order of Merit Title and Winter Knockout Championship respectively. 

The day ended with a well attended disco in which Ross Spence proved himself to be a superb dancer, as well as a superb golfer!

24th March 2010 - It's been a long hard winter for the Juniors as they've played through the worst that nature could throw at them. However, perseverance is a hallmark of Carmuirs Juniors and this was rewarded on Sunday as the final placings in the Winter Order of Merit were decided. 

Craig Bryson came out on top of the pile with a great display on the last day to pip Lee Gowans for the top position in the overall standings. Both boys ended up joint first in the Yellow Tee League. 

Ellen Forbes narrowly pipped David Burt to the top spot in the Winter Tee standings, whilst Jake Coxall finished top on the Wee Course by one point from Jack Reid. The Blue Tee League saw three joint winners emerge - Thomas Craig, Stuart Murray and Lewis Fox. 

The final day also saw a record number of Junior players (37) which must bode well for a fantastic summer and the long term health of Falkirk Golf Club. Congratulations to all the winners and all of the participants for making this a really exciting winter season!

10th February 2010 - The Flag Competition for the Juniors, arranged to provide sport for the local school in-service days, proved to be a very big hit today as they were played in glorious sunshine and in fantastic spirit. Cal Westall won on the Wee Course with his unique "Happy Gilmour" swing after 9 extra shots beyond the ninth green. On the Winter Tees, Ellen Forbes continued her run of fine form by running out a clear winner reaching the second extra green - a full hole ahead of all the other competitors! Congratulations to Ross Spence, Stuart Murray, Lee Gowans and Craig Bryson who applauded every one of Ellen's shots on the final hole - a fantastic demonstration of sportsmanship - especially as they had just been beaten by a girl!!!

8th February 2010 - A great turnout of 29 Juniors competed in the Greensomes competition played yesterday, Sunday. Amidst much fun and laughter Jack Reid and Jason Weir (pictured left) won the prizes on the Wee Course in the morning, whilst John Bateman and Ellen Forbes (also pictured left) lifted the spoils on the Big Course in the afternoon. New member Scott Heron impressed on the Wee Course in the morning with a great round of 40 and some very good shot-making in the process. Congratulations to all the Juniors, not only for the quality of the golf but for the great behaviour and great spirit in which the matches were played.
