Breaking news, just received an email from Alexei's dad to let me know that Alexei has just won his first ever competition at his first attempt.
Alexei played in a season opener junior competition at Kurkino Golf Club Moscow today.
The course is a 9 holer. Similar to Leitfie - only in this case it has 8 par 3s and 1 par 4.
There was a fair amount of thick rough and 4 frog filled ponds to avoid - and a river running by the 7th, 8th and 9th.
The par 3s include three short holes, three mid and two long par 3s - over 200 yards. The long par 4 (hole 8) is a dangerous one - bends sharply left to right with a river on the right side - lots of kids found the water or deep rough.
Alexei - scored:
1. 4
2. 3
3. 4
4. 4
5. 4
6. 4
7. 4
8. 6 - many came a cropper here.
9. 4
Total 37
Enough to win by one shot in his category - 10 years and younger.
Well done and great scoring with a par of 28, a round of 9 over would equate to a handicap of 18 !!!, tremendous scoring for your first competition. Look forward to seeing you at Strathmore in the summer.
