Junior season finale in northern France

Golf du Touquet in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, Pas-de-Calais, hosted the Grand Prix Jeunes de la Ligue des Hauts-de-France on 27–28 October 2026. The regional golf league identifies this event as the final stop in its 2026 Grands Prix Jeunes season. Its two published sets of final results list 87 U12 players and 83 players in the Benjamins and Minimes groups — a combined 170 entries across the official results.

The event comprised two rounds of stroke play. The U12 results relate to the La Forêt course and the older divisions to La Mer. As those groups played separate courses and competitions, the aggregate stroke totals should not be treated as an all-age leaderboard.

U12: a commanding boys' result and a one-stroke girls' contest

Andreas Robillart (Golf de Thumeries) led the U12 boys with rounds of 69 and 70, totalling 139 strokes. Hilaire Pan (Bondues) finished second on 150 and Jean Guérin (Chantilly) third on 152. Robillart's winning margin over second place was 11 strokes.

The U12 girls' division was much closer. Manon Genet (Wimereux) posted 74 and 73 for 147, edging Céline Arnold (Kempferhof) by a single stroke; Arnold's rounds were 76 and 72 for 148. Éloïse Legoy (Pont au Golf) took third at 154.

Bondues and the host club feature among older groups

In Benjamins boys (BG), Victor Bernardini of Bondues followed a 77 with a 69 to take first place at 146, two ahead of fellow Bondues player Léon Teyssier (148).

Among Minimes boys (MG), host-club player Anatole Beuvelet (Le Touquet) produced a 68 in round two after opening with 77, finishing at 145. Octave Dugauquier (Bondues) was runner-up on 146 and Maël Vandewalle (Bondues) third on 147.

In Benjamines girls (BF), Jeanne Huart-Vessie (Bondues) led with 82 and 76, totalling 158. Isaure Estermann and Jeanne Vandewalle shared second at 164.

The Minimes girls (MF) result needs particular care: the published sheet ranks Chloé De Zutter first and Émilie Danaux (Raray) second, but both recorded 163 strokes over two rounds — 81+82 and 85+78 respectively. The publicly available results do not specify the tie-breaking procedure. A playoff or a winning margin in strokes must therefore not be inferred.

Local clubs and development

Regional junior competitions provide a competitive pathway linking golf schools and clubs, including entrants from beyond Hauts-de-France. For some competitors, Le Touquet was their final start in an age division. Club du Lys Chantilly reported that Philippine Baudet placed sixth among U12 girls with 162 strokes, in her last tournament in the U12 category. The club described a rainy opening day followed by sunshine on the final day.

The headline figure of 170 comes directly from the two separate federation-published result sheets, not a claim about the entire French junior circuit or spectators.
