Daniel Lane was the overall winner with a gross score of 75 for a nett 73.

Club Championship - 27 July 2009
Robert Owens proved the importance of consistent play over 36 holes to add the Junior Club Championship to the Men's Club Championship title that he won a little more than a week earlier.
An opening round of 76 left Robert Owens trailing Mike Antona by two shots after eighteen holes with Daniel Lane a distant third following a round of 83. In the second round Mike struggled to maintain his form and after a poor start slumped to a score of 79. Meanwhile, Daniel was trying to recover lost ground and produced the best score of the day with a gross 73 to close the gap on the two leaders. Ultimately, however, the day belonged to Robert Owens, a birdie on par 5 16th hole extended his lead to two shots over Mike Antona and although Mike hit back on the 17th with a birdie of his own Robert held his nerve to sink a testing five foot putt on the final hole for a par to match his first round score of 76 and to secure the title by a one shot margin.
The best nett score of the day went to Bruce Fitzpatrick in Division 1 with an aggregate thirty-six hole total of 141, one under par, whilst Jakob Lane enjoyed the best nett score in Division Two with a score of 143.

Junior Pairs Salver
Although a relatively small field contested the Junior Pairs Salver on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon some very good scores were still produced in this Greensome Stableford competition.

Kenilworth Junior Masters
The inaugural Kenilworth Junior Masters, held on Wednesday 15 April, saw 53 junior golfers, ranging in age from six to thirteen years old, from across the UK competing for the John Butler Trophy.
An early morning thunderstorm caused the start of the competition to be delayed by 20 minutes but more significantly left the course playing quite long as a result of the soft fairways. Coupled with a strong wind for much of the morning, the conditions made low scoring difficult.
The best score of the day was a gross 78 from 12 year old Lewis George, a 6 handicap golfer from Crewe Golf Club. Lewis was a shot behind home favourite, Daniel Lane, playing the last hole but Lewis secured a birdie on the par 3 eighteenth hole after a six iron tee shot left him a six foot birdie putt which he duly holed to finish seven over par. Meanwhile, Daniel, playing off a handicap of 7, finished his round on the par 4 ninth hole where a visit to the greenside bunker resulted in a dropped shot for a round of 79. Third place went to William Aldred, handicap 5, of Mid-Herts Golf Club who was a shot further back with a gross score of 80.
The best nett score was recorded by Kenilworth's Bruce Fitzpatrick who scored an excellent 41 stableford points (five under par) playing off a handicap of 18.
