Winners of Junior Golf Open
Young golf enthusiasts competed in the annual Junior
Golf Open at Cheshunt Park Golf Course, Park Lane, Cheshunt on
Thursday 24 July. The competition was the first of a programme of
summer activities for young people run by Broxbourne Council.
49 young people from various golf clubs in
Hertfordshire competed in this well-established competition.
All golfers were under 18 years old and had valid handicap
certificates, which meant that the standard of the competition was
very high.
A number of competitions took place on the
day. In the ‘Gross’ competition Jordan Shepard from
Broxbourne Golf Club came first with a score of Level Par for the
round. In second place was Chris Edwards from the East
Hertfordshire Golf Club.
The ‘Best Net’ competition was won by
Guillaume Paulin-Booth from the Broxbourne Golf Club with second
place going to Ross Tipett, also from Broxbourne Golf
Club. ‘Best Girl’ was awarded to Zara Houchin from the
Broxbourne Golf Club. The Longest Drive’ went to Chris Edwards and
‘Nearest to Pin’ was won by Edward Horey.
All winners received trophies and prizes to
mark their achievement, which were presented by Broxbourne’s Mayor,
Councillor Mrs Carol Crump–Eynon. Enterprise Plc kindly
sponsored the competition, donating £1,000. Without this donation
and Enterprise’s hard work to maintain the course the competition
would not be possible.
