Up-and-coming Enfield golfer John Fernandes is this week competing in the national finals of the Golf Foundation Junior Championships.

He is one of 90 youngsters battling it out over 36 holes at the Marriott Forest of Arden Golf & Country Club.

The contest is a special event in golf's amateur calendar, as it allows many of the young players to compete against each other in a scratch medal at national level for the first time. Some 5,000 teenagers entered the competition.

A number of top golfers have taken part in recent years, including Lee Westwood who won the U15 boys' event in 1987.
