Boys Join Girls in Flag50 & 9 Hole events!!

LRLCGA Noticeboard : Boys Join Girls in Flag50 & 9 Hole events!!

This Sunday saw the first mixed Junior Flag50 & 9 Hole competition event of a series of five over the playing season - each at different courses!!

Mick Billingham, Director of Junior Golf for the mens'  Union and Anita Higginson, County Junior Organiser of the Ladies Association have been working together for the development of County Junior Golf!

The launch of this 2021 programme saw some 40 young players come together at Birstall GC to play in the event that best suited their skill level. An 18 hole Trophy comp was also played by more senior girls - the first round in a series of three - for the Alice Watson Trophy.

It was really special to see the boys & girls playing together, having fun and making new friends!

Each team of youngsters was supported by a helper on the course, and from the smiles on their faces and the lively chatter, they all seemed to have a great time!!

In the winners enclosure were the following future stars!!

18 Hole Trophy Comp: 1st (OLR) - Megan White (Cosby) 43pts : 2nd - Lila Bisset (Lutterworth) 43pts:  3rd - Harriet Oulds (Cosby) 40 pts:
