Juniors

Last weekend was the May Monthly Medal for the Juniors.  In the six hole event Cooper Rehbein had a very good round of 43, two under his handicap to win the event with a Nett 22.  Xavier Freeman was 2nd with a nett 33.  Cooper and Xavier have played very consistent golf all year, with the club championships fast approaching it will be very interesting how things will pan out.

In the nine hole event Wesley Hinton had an excellent round of 62, nett 26 to win from Kaitlyn Carige with a nett 38.  Wesley will lose at least 3 shots from his handicap for this effort.  The boy just keeps improving at a rapid rate!

In the 13 hole event Zane Fitzgerald had a very good 69 to win the Monthly Medal.  Time to look at 18 holes Zane, with scores like this.

The 18 holers played with the seniors over the last two weekends. Blake Dowling winning the A Grade Mens with a score of four under for the four days! Awesome work Blake. Will Martell won the nett for juniors for the four days, with Sophie Martell and Travis Mittelheuser playing well.  Some of our Juniors will travel to Yeppoon to compete in the Winter Classic over three days.  Best of luck to those who are travelling.
