Junior Update
It has been a very busy few weeks for the Hastings Golf Club Juniors.
Australian Junior Age Division Golf Championship – Royal Pines April 10-12
Leo Dixon, Leo Huata, Ruby and Luke Jarvis recently returned from the Australian Junior Age Division Golf Championship held at Royal Pines from 10th – 12th April. The event proved to be an invaluable learning opportunity for these young golfers. The competitiveness of the players was intense and showcased some incredible talent.
Both parents and juniors were very lucky to have Jasmine Wilson alongside to coach and guide. Jasmine was on the range each morning, out on the course observing through play and followed up with post round discussions and putting practice. Great job Jasmine, thank you.
Results as follows:
Luke Jarvis (Age 11) Boys 11-12 Age Division 6th Equal
Leo Huata (Age 12) Boys 11-12 Age Division 23rd
Ruby Jarvis (Age 13) Girls 13-14 Age Division 11th
