Not many people boast a net 58. However,
off a handicap of 44, Rob Simpson of Fulford Golf Club managed
just that and became the winner of the club's junior championship.
It was defintely a shock for the first time winner, who is now
looking to break 100 in the next club tournament.
Congratulations Rob!

15-year-old Ashley Simpson, a member of
Fulford Golf Club, who plays off 6, recently won the Seward
Trophy at Pike Hills Golf Club with a superb net 65. But it
nearly all went wrong. On the last fairway, the nerves started
to get the better of Ashley and he managed to shank the ball
into the rough. However, with his dad caddying for him, he managed
to calm down enough to chip out and still make par.
Congratulations to Ashley.

David Evans is 8 years old and plays at
The Bedfordshire Club. His handicap is 36 but that could soon
come tumbling down as he just went round the 6208 yard par 70
course, off the mens tees, in just 85 shots. His round included
3 pars, and a birdie at the par 3 ninth hole - a 203 yard challenge
- where young David chipped in.
Congratulations David and let us know how you get on.

Hole In One helps to raise £623
(posted 06.05.05)
On 29th May Rossendale G.C. held a 4-Man
Team Junior Fundraising Competition. Danny Redding, the Junior
Vice-Captain played in his father's team and scored a Hole-in-one
on the 151-yard par-3 1st hole.
It was a proud but costly moment for his dad, as it resulted
in a £70 bar bill in the clubhouse afterwards.
Danny's team came seventh and the fundraiser boosted the Junior
Sections coffers by £623.
