2019 Junior Classic

The 2019 BDGI Junior Classic was played on Monday 21st January at the Midlands Golf Club.
Jazy Roberts, a 13-year-old from Belvoir Park Golf Club claimed the Girls Under 18 and Under 15 titles with an exceptional 1-over round of 74.

Whilst only a small number of girls competed in the tournament, the quality of their play was fantastic.
Kacee Kirwan-Hamilton from Ballarat Golf Club continued his fine recent form to comfortably claim the Under 18 Boys title with an 8-over round of 80, whilst Benjamin McPherson from Huntingdale Golf Club won the Under 15 Boys title with an 11-over round of 83.
