Junior Championships - 18 /19th July 2011

Loads going on for our juniors on the big stage but plenty going on too back at base for our up and coming players competing for our own Junior Championships last week-end.

Congratulations go to 16 year old  Graham Swan who won the Boys Championship with a measured level par performance to resist the challenge of 14 year old Finn Donaldson . Graham got off to a fast start going 4 ahead early doors and then kept his head with a stream of pars so that Finn was never able to make in roads, with Graham winning 3&2 . Well deserved victory and impressive golf - a reward for excellent work this season

The semi-finals took place earlier on Sunday with Graham winning a marathon match on the 23rd against jaded Jamie Black who'd just returned from his DofE expedition and with Finn dispatching 2011 new member Tom Middlenass. All will be back in 2012.

Under 14 Championship 


Our pathway continues with a keenly contested u14 Championship this year involving some of our younger players. The semi finals took place on Saturday on No 3 with Graeme Chalmers defeating Charlotte Munro on the 19th in a tight match and 10 yo William Ladbrooke coming from behind to defeat Cameron Middlemass.

















The final was off the yellow tees on the big stage of No 1 alongside the other Club finals. William played solid golf to win 4&3 and add to his already impressive collection of trophies - next stop Wee Wonders @ Carnoustie !  Well done to both William & Graeme and thank-you to match referee Nicky Black

Previous winners of the U14 Championship are

2007- Ally Simpson,
2008 -Tom Grey ,

2010 - Oliver Ladbrooke

A good week-end for the Swans with older brother winning the Doctors Trophy too defeating recent junior David McCall in the final.
