Durham golf tour should attract top Junior talent A seven-tournament Tour for Durham-Northumberland Junior golfers will be held this summer. This tour will start with a qualifying round on June 26 at Dalewood Golf Club where the top 60 players will qualify, said organizer Mark Rowland.

At the conclusion of the tour, all golfers will be invited to attend a banquet where the winner will be presented with green dress jacket with the championship crest. Rowland said the idea for this tour came about over the winter as he and John Uprichard felt there is a lack of this kind of competitive golf for juniors in this area. "We felt it would capture golfers who want to pete on a level playing field without handicap scoring. Points will be awarded for each stop on the tour (60 for their imagination, would really make them work on their game, and more important, keep them working on their game," he said. After the qualifying match of June 26 at Dalewood, the top 60 golfers will start the tour July 6 at Thunderbird. The other courses on this tour include Seaton, Fawnbrooke, Whitevale, Cheerydowns, Oshawa and Lakeridge.
