Former England Boys Captain, capped over 30 times by his Country,  and now a leading World Amateur Golfer playing off a handicap of plus 5 started his golfing journey playing in the very first Junior Golf Tour event at Foxton in Northumberland almost ten years ago at the age of ten.

Matty said: “The Northern Junior Golf Tour is a great way for young golfers to play on lots of different courses, test their skills, meet new friends and most importantly have fun”

“I congratulate all those involved, and in particular Jason Budd from England Golf for his efforts in helping to build such a popular tour for young players over the past ten years”
