CONNOR Jenkins of Bude & North Cornwall Golf Club was appointed Captain of the CGU Junior Section at its Annual General Meeting, held at Newquay last week — taking over from clubmate Adam Curtis — just a matter of days after he and his father Mark had won the handicap element of the Sky Sports European Father and Son Championship tournament in Spain.

It seems this tournament favours golfers from our region, as it was won in 2012 by another South West pairing in Graham and James Ruth.

The Jenkins took part in the competition held at Valle del Este, Almeria, together with 46 other pairs from the USA, Germany, Czech Republic, Ireland, Denmark, Austria, Italy and the United Kingdom.
