Junior Club Championship

Fourteen juniors competed for the Junior Club Championship today played over 36 holes. There was also an 18-hole Red-Tee Stableford competition for less experienced players to compete for prizes. The course was in perfect condition and although the weather was overcast for most of the day and a stiff breeze blowing, this did not prevent the juniors returning some fantastic scores.

Gross
In the main event after round 1, Max Nicholls held a slender lead posting a 73 followed by Lizzie Swallow and Lloyd Childs one shot behind. In round 2, Lizzie shot a 73 and Max 74 which ended in a tie with both players on 147. This resulted in two-hole aggregate play-off between Max and Lizzie on holes 13 and 18. After a tense and exciting two holes, Max Nicholls just edged the title by a single shot from Lizzie Swallow. Third place went to Lloyd Childs with a total of 150.
