FAMILY FUN DAY HAS THE DESIRED EFFECT

Great to see so many youngsters out on the Courses today. Met Tarah in the car park and she was so excited after playing her round and she only missed her first Certificate by one shot. She will achieve it very soon. Yesterday afternoon having missed the Fun Day because they already had another commitment Arthur and Frederick played and Arthur won the Easter Holiday prize for being the first Junior to gain a first Certificate. Cameron was out with his dad. Zoe, Lochlan and James also joined up for a game. Think I saw Jed ? Jack and Rory were last out tonight and finished at 8.30 in near darkness but both returned personal bests, Rory achieved his 2nd Certificate and both have reduced their Fun Handicaps and are on track for most rounds played during the Easter school break. With Hideki Matsuyama winning the Master Cameron, Saoirse and Seamus pick up the prize from yesterday. Held a taster session today for Phoebe and Lucy and both of them had great fun and I won’t be surprised to see them again soon. Probably missed a few others but with the numbers I witnessed today I believe that the Family Fun Days are acting as a catalyst to encourage more of the youngsters to just get out there and play. First qualifier for the Junior Club Championship takes place on Saturday and it looks like with the numbers playing for the first time in a couple of years we could have semi finals in both the Scratch and Handicap sections.
