Junior/Senior Recap

Every year we host the Junior/Senior Tournament, a great event which allows junior golfers out for a fun day of golf with a parent or relative. The format is alternate shot and I'm sure some of the kids found themselves in some pretty different parts of the course they didn't know existed. At the end of the day all of the 9 hole juniors walk away with a nice prize donated by some of the members at Whitevale. Below is a photo of our 9 hole players after their round of golf, we look forward to seeing them all next year.

There is also an 18 hole trophy event for the Junior/Senior as well. This year the team of Brendan & Paul Dunphy were able to find their way around the course posting the best score. Congratulations to all of the players is this year's event.
