Entry form for Junior Putter 2008
I do hope that you will encourage your aspiring young golfers to enter the IAPS
Stowe Putter or the
Junior Putter. For those of you unfamiliar with the competition, it is now in
its 42nd year and
provides the opportunity for young aspiring golfers, boys and girls, to pit
themselves against one
another and against the beautiful but testing Stowe Golf Course which is set in
the School’s
landscaped gardens.
The details of the competitions are set out below. If you have budding golfers,
boys and girls,
please return the enclosed entry form with their details and the necessary
remittance.
Acknowledgement will be sent to you, and thereafter correspondence will be with
the parents or
guardians.
Head Teachers are warmly invited to attend the competition and walk the course.
We are also
always keen to welcome members of staff who are willing to mark and to help with
the smooth
running of the tournament.
I look forward to welcoming you to Stowe in the summer.
David Fletcher (Tournament Organiser)
