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 17th 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!”
