Golf juniors make their mark

A junior development programme, which started at the Warkworth Golf Club last year, is paying dividends.

Four members of the junior squad finished fifth in the Harbour Golf junior league held earlier this month.

The team players were Keira Rhind, who won her division, James and Ryan Mordaunt, and Dylan Lewis.

While each golfer played as an individual, their performances determined the team’s place overall.
Club coach Tony Mordaunt says the junior programme continues to grow.

“The Harbour result was fantastic, given that this was the squad’s first experience of this level of competition,” he says. “They represented Warkworth well.”

The junior league will include seven playing dates altogether, with Warkworth hosting one of the competitions on March 24.

Tony says new juniors are welcome to join the programme at anytime and details can be found at warkworthgolfclub.co.nz.
