Ayr Golf Club’s Junior Golfers Shine on the Green

Ayr Golf Club was pleased to have Sanco, a local family-run Burdekin tomato grower, sponsor the junior day on Saturday 17 August. The morning was a success, with Drummond Golf vouchers as the highly coveted prizes.

In the 3-hole competition, Heath Suficiencia took the gross winner title with a score of 27, while Opie McKeough emerged as the Nett winner. Congratulations to both boys!

In the 6-hole competition, Evelyn Mahoney claimed the gross winner spot with a score of 52, and Jett James secured the Nett winner title.

In the 9-hole competition, Tegan Saxby made a move from the 6-hole group to join the 9-hole competition. Lyla Land achieved a personal best with a gross score of 58, earning the gross winner title, while Rheanna Bain was the Nett winner for the 9 holes.

Coach Darryll traveled from Townsville on Monday afternoon to teach the juniors some short game skills. These sessions have proven successful, with many juniors achieving personal bests during competitions.

This Saturday, B&M Drilling will sponsor the morning competition, followed by a group of juniors traveling to Bowen on Sunday to compete in the Bowen Junior Open. Good luck to all participants!
