In his 17 Tournaments he never finished outside the top twenty, had 5 top-ten finishes and 2 top-five’s.

On his way to these successes he beat some outstanding players such as Eric Frischette who lost in the semi-final of the 1996 US Amateur Championship to no less a person than Tiger Woods having been 6 up against the now world number one, Dave Rummells and Greg Towne USPGA Tour Players for the past 20 years , John Connolly Buy.com Tour Player, England Elite squad member Scott Jackson, Sean Wiffin and Matt Lofthouse – European Challenge Tour Players.

Moore quotes, "It was fantastic to watch Jamie who I’ve taught since he was 8 years old to play so well, considering his last competitive round prior to the USA was in October 2001. I’ve worked on a few new ideas with Jamie during October 2001 – February 2002 with psychology and technique, these have certainly paid off and for him to have beaten such players as Frischette, Rummells and Towne makes all the effort Jamie and I have put in over many years worthwhile.

Jamie is and will be for many years to come, an excellent role model for all the top amateurs and juniors who are under my wing. All my amateurs and juniors who were present this year in the USA looked up to him and his success, even though they all excelled in their own sections.

Jamie has had an excellent start to the 2002 season, with his continued practice and new ideas I am certain that he will excel on the Tamsel and Europro Professional Tours for the remainder of the season."

"The St. Andrew’s Experience" Fifteen of Graham Moore’s stable of juniors recently experienced the links at St. Andrew’s, Scotland.

The groups of 7 and 8 attended Graham’s junior advanced coaching weekends on consecutive weeks. The first weekend was for 11-14 year olds, the second weekend was for 10 year olds and under.

During both weekends the children learnt new skills for links play ie. how to keep the ball low under the wind, punching the ball and how important it is to play low running shots around the green. Also course management for the links was an important skill learnt.

In the first weekend Josh Hardman (aged 12, handicap 19.5) took the honours over the 3 rounds at the Strathtyrum, Jubilee and Eden courses scoring an impressive 130 stableford points. In second place was Robbie Baden (aged 14, handicap 13.6) on 125 points, third was Jonathan Burrows (aged 11, handicap 31) with 107 points and fourth was Henry Bennett (aged 12, handicap 18.1) on 106 points.

All the juniors are either working with me at my Northwich or Chester Academies or are on one of my junior individual Development Programmes and all are members of Vale Royal Millennium Junior Golf Club, it goes to prove that the systems that are in place breed exceptional players which encourage junior players of all ages."

The younger group also had a British Golf Museum visit, which they all enjoyed, they had a quiz, word search and an observation test as well as being able to have a go in the newly developed interactive area for putting. They used old gutta percha and feathery golf balls with hickory shafted wooden and steel headed putters and were presented on leaving with a memento of their visit.

Moore quotes, "All participants played exceptionally well, it was great to see all these dedicated juniors perform and learn new skills both on and off the course. The advanced bunker coaching I gave them on day two was accepted with a bout of cheers as on day one of both weekends all the juniors had their fair share of bunker shots.

Moore quotes, "The Museum visit was well received by all, my thanks go to Kathryn Baker the Museum Curator who conducted the tour and prepared the activities for the children. Her enthusiasm for the children to enjoy their afternoon was second to none. Many thanks Kathryn.

Henry Bennett recently won the Vale Royal Millennium Junior Golf Club team training weekend at Telford Golf & Country Club for the third successive year.

His score of 76 points over 2 rounds in tough conditions was outstanding over the 6800 yards course. Henry, now 12 years old, and playing off a handicap of 14.1 is still small in stature but has physically developed and is now twice as strong as 6 months ago.

Team coach & Club Chairman/PGA Professional, Graham Moore quotes, "Henry’s physical strength and the changes we have made together over the past 6 months are now paying off. Henry’s handicap has reduced well and is a fair reflection of his golfing ability on full size courses, so many of the young stars nowadays have handicaps beyond their physical capabilities due to the nature and length of the courses they regularly play. It’s great to see a junior I have nurtured since he began playing to improve at the correct pace and still be competitive."

Bennett quotes, "With the support I have from my Father and Graham my direction for golf is truly mapped out. I feel my season has started well. The improvements that have been made are helping me to focus more and trust my swing under pressure. I am looking forward to playing my half dozen major open events during the summer with my ever increasing strength and experiencing a new level of competition. I feel I am learning with every shot, whilst at the same time never losing the fun aspect and enjoying myself."

Henry Bennett, 12 years old, from Northwich  defeated Ben Hughes from Chester at the 1^st hole of sudden death to win the 11-12 year age group, Neil Williams from Chester won the 6-8 year age group by 7 shots in the 2002 Westminster Park Junior Open, sponsored by Graham Moore International Golf Schools.

Bennett & Williams are both members of Graham Moore’s Golf Development Programme/Academies.

Other Graham Moore Development Programme starlets Sam Platt (aged 10) and Lewis Jackson (aged 9) finished 2^nd in their respective age groups. Daniel Rowlands (aged 10) and Daniel Mather (aged 9) came 4^th in their respective age groups.

Moore quotes, "Henry’s victory was well deserved, his composure during the play off never flinched, even with a crowd of over 100 people watching. Neil's win was outstanding and left the field well behind. 

Sam and Lewis’ 2^nd places in their age groups and the two Daniel’s 4^th places is proof that Vale Royal Millennium Junior Golf Club and Graham Moore International Junior Golf Academies structures work, showing depth and quality of players. Of the 42 qualifiers for the 2^nd round no less than 32 are under my wing. It was a tremendous showing which is very humbling to me. The dedication of all these juniors is exceptional."

Graham Moore Junior Golf Academies pupils dominate the local qualifying event for the PGA’s Wee Wonders @ Euxton Golf Club, Chorley, Lancashire on Saturday 8^th June 2002.

The top two finishers in each age section qualify for the final stage of regional qualifying at Adlington Golf Centre, Macclesfield. The qualifiers included four of Graham’s Academy stars, Sam Platt (handicap 28) and Daniel Rowlands (handicap 29) who monpolised the 9-10 years age category by finishing first and second respectively. In the 11-12 category Michael Malcolmson (handicap 21) also performed well finishing in second place and representing the girls Emma Goddard (handicap 29) also won her age group. All of them are now just one step away from the national final of the PGA Wee Wonders which will be held in Surrey and is going to be covered by SKY Television.

Graham Moore quotes, "I decided to enter 5 of my most promising under 12 year old Junior Academy pupils for this extremely prestigious national event, they had just returned from an intensive coaching weekend I conducted in St. Andrews, Scotland which held them in good form. I am extremely proud of all my juniors and the performances of the four qualifiers has been exceptional, over a course none of them had ever seen before. I am certain that with the learning structures I have put in place with all of them, they will have an extremely good chance of qualifying for the national final. The fact that 4 out of 5 of the Academy youngsters finished in the top two in their age groups is proof that the Academies are proving the best way for juniors of all abilities to develop their golfing prowess."
