Our up and coming player, Alex Kelliher from Pleasant Point has just completed playing in the NZ Golf National Under 19 Men's tournament in Cromwell.Alex, who plays off a 3.9 was the only Aorangi Junior player entered.In his first round he lost a ball and the trauma of having to go back and play another from the tee made it difficult to get back into rhythm.He recovered with a 79 on his second round but missed the cut by 2 strokes.
An awesome effort from Alex. There is no doubt he has a great future with Aorangi Golf.
