Junior Golf
THE HIGH STANDARD OF players, helped and encouraged by the great coaching staff, means that the RLGC junior section keeps going from strength to strength. Throughout the year there are many
competitions and matches for the juniors to take part in. We have a very successful junior team, competing in a league with other local clubs. The season got off to a very good start with convincing victories over Caldy and Prenton, with the team going on to beat Bromborough as well. However, with losses at Heswall and Eastham Lodge, we only had one match remaining to prove ourselves. Fortunately we managed to win against Wallasey away from home to finish off another good season. These matches not only allow juniors to experience competitive match play, but are a great opportunity to play at other clubs and meet fellow golfers. We must thank Matt Way for organising our matches. The Junior Championship is one of the biggest competitions of the year. The

was of an exceptional standard, even if on more than one occasion, there were a few sore heads on the first tee. Formby Golf Club was an ideal place
to start the week as the golf course was in superb condition, especially the greens which everyone who played that day remarked upon. After a full day’s play and very tight matches, the scores were incredibly close going into day two. That evening saw everyone go out together and have a great time, however still tired from the flight the Swedish contingent opted for an early night. On both days at Formby we were
blessed with great weather and fantastic food provided by the catering staff and
