AMERICAN GOLF CROWNS FIRST JUNIOR CLUB CHAMPION
Warrington: Europe's largest golf retailer, American Golf, is delighted to announce that 17 year old Paul Marshall of Sale Golf Club won the title of American Golf Club Junior Champion at its first ever Junior Club Championship held yesterday, 27thAugust, at De Vere Mottram Hall.
100 juniors aged between 7 and 18 competed in the event, which was held on De Vere Mottram Hall's Championship Golf Course. This was a challenging course for the juniors with the front nine gently rolling over meadowland and the back nine giving a more demanding woodland setting, totalling 6675 yards off the yellow tees.
The Championship was fiercely contested with two players scoring an impressive 42 Stableford points. Despite finishing birdie, birdie, par, 11 year old Libby Kilbride was piped to the post by Paul on countback. As well as taking home the American Golf Junior Championship Trophy, Paul also won a custom fit PING G30 Driver, a PING L8 Carry Bag and a selection of PING accessories.
"Junior golfers are the future of our sport so we felt it was important to create a relaxed event that embraces younger players," comments Daniel Gathercole, Head of Marketing at American Golf. "We were astonished by the level of interest and by the standard of play, but what impressed us the most was the attitude and sportsmanship shown by every single participant on the day."
