Ayr Golf Club Junior Players Impress At Mackay Sugar Circuit

Over the school holidays, four talented young golfers from the Ayr Golf Club travelled to Mackay to attend the Mackay Sugar Circuit.

Heath Smart, Oscar and Evelyn Mahoney and Kyle Wilkie had plenty of fun showcasing their skills on the green for an action-packed week of golf. Each Junior performed exceptionally, with all four walking away victorious, scoring a title or two in the daily competitions.

“Some great golf and fun during this Mackay Sugar Circuit - many thanks to Sarina Golf Club, Pioneer Valley Golf Club and Mackay Golf Club for putting on a great week of golf for the juniors,” shared Ayr Golf Club member Laura Mahoney.

Along with golfers from local Mackay clubs, the week attracted players from Moranbah, Blackwater, Charters Towers, and Townsville, providing a range of great competition for the Ayr Golf Club’s Juniors.

Heath Smart was congratulated for his success of moving up to 6 holes, and for consistently playing at a high level over three days of 6 holes in a row. Deservingly, Heath was awarded as the Nett Winner for Thursday’s competition.

Kyle Wilkie was celebrated as the Gross Runner Up at Pioneer Valley for his performance in the 6 hole competition on Wednesday.

Evelyn Mahoney was the victorious Nett Winner each day of the girls 6 hole competition and continued to improve her score as the week went on.

Oscar Mahoney performed well over the four days and was celebrated as the Nett Winner on the third day of the competition in the boys 18 hole competition where he reached a new personal best score of 90.

The Ayr Golf Club has congratulated their Junior players for their amazing performance over the week, and looks forward to attending future away competitions.

“Well done all for travelling and giving away competitions a go, they really are a great way to make golfing friends and experience new challenging courses,” said Laura.
