Rain shortens junior tournament
THE onset of late rain saw last Monday’s third round of the Western District Golf Association’s junior tournament reduced to nine holes.
Fortunately, only the last group was caught on the final hole before the rain arrived in Portland.
The winners on the day were as follows:
Boys
0-19 Oliver Foster; 20+ Xander Hickman on countback from Charlie Winterfield; 15-17 years Hamish Payne (no handicaps); 10-14 years Milo Gollasch (no handicaps).
Girls
10-14 Arlee Hogan (no handicaps).
Nearest the pins: 5th Mason Huhnt, 8th Xander Hickman.
Congratulations to all players, representing a range of clubs including Casterton, Dartmoor, Portland, Cobden and Mount Gambier, and thanks to the parents and family/friends for their support.
Many thanks also to Portland Golf Club for hosting this round, particularly captain Marg Tober for her efforts which were greatly appreciated.
The next event will be the junior classic on Sunday, September 28 at the Port Fairy Golf Club.
This will be followed by an event at the Warrnambool Golf Club on Monday, September 29.
The final event will be played in late November or early December (details to be advised).
