Bowker BMW confirms new three-year sponsorship of Preston Golf Club junior team

Bowker BMW has agreed to a three-year sponsorship deal with Preston Golf Club to support its Junior Golf Team.

The partnership will provide funding for coaching, competitions, equipment, and team kits for young golfers aged 5 to 18.

As part of the sponsorship, Bowker BMW’s branding will feature on team apparel, club signage, and social media, as well as at club events throughout the season.

Bowker BMW has enjoyed a long partnership with Preston Golf Club. The new sponsorship represents an extension of the Preston-based BMW centre’s support. Bowker BMW already sponsors a hole, a buggy and the driving range.

Preston Golf Club’s Junior Section offers structured coaching programmes and competitive opportunities for young players, with some competing at regional, national, and international levels. The club has SafeGolf accreditation, demonstrating its commitment to safeguarding children and young people in the sport.

Jonathan Rogan, Bowker BMW Preston, said: "We were approached by Karl who organises the junior section at the golf club.

"We were impressed by his passion for the sport and vision for the Junior Golf Team at Preston Golf Club. It’s great to see so many young players developing their skills and enjoying the game, and we’re proud to be part of their journey over the next three years."

The club’s coaching programme is built around the Junior Golf Passport, which helps young golfers and their families track progress. The sponsorship will contribute to the continued growth of the Junior Section and enhance its ability to provide high-quality coaching and competitive opportunities.

The Junior Section currently has more than 100 members, with over 60 actively participating in coaching and competitions.

Seven internal competitions run throughout the year, concluding with the Adam Scott Trophy, which Adam himself sponsors.

Over the past two years, junior participation has increased, supported by the club’s provision of winter access to the driving range on Friday nights. Coaching is delivered by assistant professional Sean Patchell.

Karl Ramalli, junior organiser at Preston Golf Club, said: "This sponsorship is fantastic news for our junior players. Support from Bowker BMW means we can provide more coaching, better equipment, and greater opportunities for our young golfers to develop and compete."

The partnership reflects Bowker BMW’s commitment to supporting grassroots sport and engaging with the local community.
