A mini Tour for promising young Derbyshire golfers gets underway later this month.

The Derbyshire Futures Tour is aimed at boys and girls under the age of 14.

A series of eight and nine-hole competitions will be held across Derbyshire - including New Mills and Bakewell golf clubs - with results counting towards an Order of Merit.
