Lee Westwood Golf Tour Family Knockout – National Finals - Sponsored by Macdonald Hotels

Juniper family crowned the Lee Westwood Golf Tour - Family Knockout National Champions. 

 

The conclusion of the inaugural Lee Westwood Golf Tour – Family Knockout competition saw the Juniper family take the championship with a 3 & 1 win over the Tym family.

The Tym family, of Wrexham Golf Club, had made this competition a real family affair by using a combination of mother, father and son in their journey to secure their place at the national final.  Unfortunately for Dorne, Jonathon and Chris, a current Lee Westwood Golf School student, they were unable to take the title.

Representing the south region and West Essex Golf Club, the Juniper family were made up of father and son pairing John and Charlie and had played their way through three qualifying matches and a semi-final to meet the Tym family at the National Final, hosted by Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa in Tarporley.

The final turned out to be a hotly contested match between the Juniper and Tym families, played in good spirits on a tough blustery day and taking it to the 17^th hole before the Junipers were victorious.

John Juniper said “My son Charlie and I started playing in the competition at its inception and from start to finish it has been an amazing experience.  We have meet some very nice people and played at some very nice golf clubs.  I have to thank my son Charlie for basically carrying me all the way to the final and we both look forward to defending our cup.”

The LWGT Family Knockout competition was launched in August 2013 with pairs from across the UK being split into 4 regions of play.  Each family was given three matches to play in order to gain league points where the top four placed teams in each league qualified for the semi-finals day sponsored and hosted by Macdonald Hotels.

Manager of the Lee Westwood Golf Tour Stuart Blair said “The Lee Westwood Golf Tour Family Knockout competition provides a great platform for any members of the same family to come together and compete in a fun friendly atmosphere. I refereed the finals and I can say it was a very enjoyable day and a great match played between two lovely families, what more could you wish for in a match play event!”
