Downfield Juniors

2008 summer has been anything but good weather wise but great for downfield Juniors. We are doing extremely well in all competitions and our Juniors handicaps are tumbling by the day. All the hard work is paying off. The Downfield junior Open has been won by Downfeld member Steve Sidowra with a great score of 69 (-1) playing off a three handicap he beat Reece Mitchell by two shots. The handicap section was won by another Downfield junior and future Open champion Andrew Gibson playing off a 23 handicap at only 10 years old. The girls section was won by Jemma Chalmers from Monifieth. Jemma is another great local golfer with tremendous talent and a bright future. Well done to all who competed in the open on a sunny day for once.

Our Junior Coaching Programme for 2008 is now in full swing under the watchful eye of our Professional staff and has been kick started with admirable enthusiasm from Alex Reid (Junior Convenor).

A big thank you to Paul Murphy and his staff for the improvements to the PeeWee course for the younger Juniors to play and practice on.

We all appreciate the effort and commitment the Juniors themselves have put in so far.

 Over 30 Juniors turned up every Saturday through April for coaching with Kenny and Barry.

Great to see a practice area full of kids in springtime.
