Another junior golf season in Carton House is upon us and we look forward to an enjoyable, exciting and safe 2021 for all our Junior Members.

We would also like to take this opportunity to welcome all the new junior members and their parents to the club and we are setting out some key information below including our safeguarding policy. We hope you will find this information useful in getting up and running in the club.

Happy Golfing

David Muldowney is our junior boys captain for the 2020 season.
Chloe Murphy is our junior girls captain for the 2020 season.

At Carton House Golf Club, we are committed to both the enjoyment and safety of our Junior members. In our continued efforts to grow a strong, vibrant and safe environment for our children, we are implementing the CGI guidance in relation to child safeguarding.

Therefore, we are keen that all Parents of Juniors and Juniors members read and understand our policies with regard to safeguarding, bullying, etc. For Parents of younger members, please explain to them the Junior Code of Conduct, which is attached in the link below. Both the Junior Code and Parents/Guardians Code need to be signed and returned to Carton for the attention of Ronan Heavey or Fionnula Lannigan.

We want to thank everyone for their support and efforts with our Junior Club. We hope you understand the need to put in place these procedures for the protection of both the kids and the leaders.

Our Designated Liaison Person (DLP) is Triona Murphy and Club Children’s Officer (CCO) is Louise Grehan.

Level 1, 2 & 3 golfers can place everywhere, can have a maximum of 4 putts on each hole, play off the red tees on par 3’s and max score of 10 on each hole. Level 1 players do not play bunkers (i.e. drop out to the side, no penalty). Level 2 & 3 players can lift out of bunkers after 2 attempts (i.e. max 2 shots from bunker). Level 4 upwards, rules of golf apply. ALL cards must be marked in competition or signed by an adult.
