Meltham Golf Club is celebrating a highly successful season to date.

The scratch team and juniors have already won titles – and Jamie Bower is flying the flag on the international scene.

The scratch team started the season in fine style, working their way up from the fifth to the fourth division and then winning promotion to the third division in the Yorkshire County Championship.

The three-man team of Graham McLean, Tom Hunt and Johnny Fleetwood also provided the core of the Union scratch team and continued their success, taking the Scratch Team First Division title for the Huddersfield, Halifax District for the first time in years.

The three also put in fine individual performances with the Union Strokeplay Championship.

Tom Hunt took the Junior Prize and finished sixth overall, Johnny Fleetwood finished third and Graham McLean took home the title for the first time in his career, one of the few remaining Union prizes that had so far eluded him.

Tom Hunt not only provided good performances for the scratch team but was also part of the Meltham junior team which won the Union Junior League for the third year in a row.

Tom along with junior captain Sean Campbell are also through to the final of the Junior Union Foursomes to be played later this month.

Success has not been limited to local level.

England International Jamie Bower has also had a great season. He won the Yorkshire Amateur Championship for the first time at Fulford recently.

He also put in an impressive performance at the showing recently at the English Amateur Championship, reaching the semi-finals and narrowly losing out on the second extra hole to Alfie Plant of Sundridge Park.

Riding the wave of this performance, Bower went on to finish tied sixth at the European Amateur Championship the following week and has been selected to represent England in the forthcoming Home Internationals.

He is now ranked as the 79th best amateur in the world.
