Three Young Golfers
head off to America
Bishop’s Stortford Golf Club held a
farewell party, with lots of American
razzmatazz to wish Jon Hopkins,
Rebecca Earl and Matt Green every
success as they head off to colleges in
America on golfi ng scholarships.
Jon and Matt both joined the Dunmow
Road club when they were just 8 years
old with Rebecca joining when she was
11 years old. Junior Organiser Graham
Oram told The Flyer that all three had
played a signifi cant role in taking the
junior section to the level it is at today,
which now produces some of the
best young golfers in the country. The
successes these three have achieved at
club, country and national level were
inspirational which others are now
following.
Jon was junior Captain in 2016, with
Rebecca following in 2017 and Matt is
currently in situ. In addition to a wealth
of individual trophies they have collected
at various levels, all three over recent
years have represented England Schools
in the home international series and their
combined record is very impressive with
just one loss from eight matches.
Jon now heads off to Mississippi
Gulf Coast Community College, with
Rebecca bound for Wofford College in
Spartanburg in South Carolina, while
Matt jets off to Newmans University in
Wichita Kansas.
It is thought that this is the fi rst occasion
in the club’s 108-year history that
anyone of its members has gone to
America on golfi ng scholarships; a route
which in years to come may become a
regular occurrence for this junior friendly
club.
