Young Golfers in Junior Tournament

Thirty young golfers from throughout the district enjoyed warm temperatures and a well presented course when they took part in the annual Geraldine District Golf Club’s Junior Tournament at Denfield on Monday 12 April.

The tournament, which grew out of the weekend coaching efforts of member Helen May, was the third staged by the Club. The participants play for a trophy donated by the Eagles Golfing Society of Aorangi.

One feature this year was the achievement of Geraldine’s Shannon Quinn, the only girl in the field, who topped the non-handicapped players’ section with a gross score of 110.

Another highlight was the success of the young non-handicapped Tinwald player Bailey Kinvig who placed his tee shot pin-high some six feet from the pin on the 9th and then stepped up confidently to hole the putt to take both nearest and pin and hole in two prizes.

Round of the day went to Geraldine member George Wardell who took out the Eagles Trophy with a gross 75. He was closely followed by Rakaia junior Zac Bell who carded a 76.
