Here are the highlights from April and May in the T&P Junior Section.
29th April was The Junior Captain’s Texas Scramble, which raises funds for the Junior Section. The event was well supported again this year and received some positive feedback. We had power play greens on 4 holes and 2 nearest the pin prizes. £270 was raised for Junior funds and a team with 2 Juniors – Seb Childs and George Hutchings and their Mum and Dad respectively, came in 2nd. Very pleasing altogether. Here is Ben Newman, Junior Captain 2023, teeing off on the 1st.
April 30th – A 3 man team from The Junior Section went to Wheathill to play in the first round of the 2023 Somerset Junior League Knock Out. Sadly we won one match and lost 2 so do not progress to the next round this year.
May 7th The Somerset County Junior Championships for under 12/14 and Under 16/18 took place at Worlebury. T&P Juniors did really well. In the Under 14’s Peter McGivern was crowned Champion for the second year running with a gross score of 73 and Finley Pyke, on the right,was 2nd with a gross of 77. Tate Sinfield-Day, on the left, won best nett with 65 ( gross 82).
Morgan Couch from T&P won the overall nett prize in the Under 16’s with rounds of 79 & 80 for a net score of 141
