We are delighted to celebrate a remarkable achievement by Old Westholmian, Harry Richmond, who won the Junior European Open Golf Competition in Spain last November, an outstanding accomplishment that places him among the top young golfers in Europe.
The Junior European Open attracts elite junior players from across the continent, all competing at an exceptionally high standard. Harry’s victory is a testament not only to his technical ability on the course, but also to the dedication, resilience and focus required to perform under pressure on an international stage. Competing away from home, against a strong and diverse field, makes this achievement even more impressive.
Harry’s success reflects countless hours of training, disciplined preparation and a genuine passion for the sport. Like many high-level athletes, his journey has involved balancing competitive sport with education, travel and the mental demands that come with elite competition.

We congratulate Harry on this exceptional success and wish him every continued success as his golfing journey progresses. We look forward to watching the next chapters of his career unfold and cheering him on as he continues to compete at the highest levels of junior golf.
