THE Dalhousie District Golf Association joined with golf educator JK Performance Coaching to host the 2023 Junior Golf Tournament earlier this month, inviting aspiring young golfers from across the region to take part in a day of competition.
Played at Broadford Golf Club on June 4, the day saw 14 junior competitors take part from Dalhousie District’s member clubs across multiple divisions, with prizes on offer for the top players.
The primary and secondary school divisions played nine holes at the Broadford course, while the handicap division tackled the full 18.
Taking the top spot in the primary division was Broadford’s Harrison Wood, recording 39 to win over Avenel’s Rayden Hannigan with 43.
The secondary division was a close competition with Madeleine Ryan taking the win over Delphi Yong by just one stroke, finishing with 49 and 50 respectively.
The 18-hole handicap division was won by Emily Kemshall, playing with a handicap of 37 to record a net 65, over runner-up Campbell Smith, who finished with a net 78, from a handicap of 11.
Smith also won nearest the pin on the fourth hole and recorded the best scratch score over 18 holes with 89.
The competition was complemented by a sunny winter’s day, with the Broadford course well-prepared for the region’s top junior golfers.
