 Junior Tournaments - Season 2008-2009 Scottish Golf Union North District Juniors - 21 July 08 Two very promising Junior members of Thurso Golf Club were chosen to represent the Scottish Golf Union North District in an Under 14 match against their Angus counterparts at Grantown on Spey earlier this month. Mark Parsonage and Peter Sangster both acquitted themselves well in the match that was tied at four and a half matches each. The two were paired together in the morning and lost their match as Angus went up by 2 games to one. In the afternoon singles Sangster got off to a great start to be five up after seven holes but his opponent put up a great fight before Sangster earned a team point on the eighteenth green. Parsonage, on the other hand, was three down after seven holes but fought back to all square after 15 holes only to lose by two and one. Sangster has been selected for the next match to be played by the team against the North East at Huntly on 1 August. The promising duo, together with Allyn Sutherland, were in action again a few days later in the SGU North District Junior Championship at Brora that was also a counting event for the newly introduced Order of Merit for juniors at both under 14 and under 16 levels. In windy conditions Sangster had nett rounds of 69 and 68, Sutherland had two 73's and Parsonage 79 and 78. At the half way stage Sangster is lying in fifth place in the under 14 Order of Merit, two places above Parsonage. One of the remaining four events is scheduled for Reay on 17 August. Evan Sutherland, Head Coach of the Caithness and North Sutherland Coaching initiative has recently invited the Caithness Clubs to provide players for a Caithness under 14 team. It is hoped that such a team could be the basis for under 16 and under 18 teams in the years to come. Royal Dornoch Junior Open/North of Scotland Boys
Championship, Elgin - April 08 Parsonage will have mixed feelings about his Dornoch experience though. After a fine round of 85 he had the misfortune to be disqualified as a couple of holes were wrongly marked by his playing partner. The good news for the youngster was a handicap reduction of two shots as a result of the Dornoch round and his win in the Summer League the previous day. End-of-Document |
