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.
