Pryors Hayes hosts U14/16 Championships
Pryors Hayes Golf Club provided a great stage for some top talent in Cheshire Boys u16 and u14 age groups to show their skills.
They provided a challenging course and good support for all of the players and county officials on and off the course.
There was some excellent golf on the course admired by host club Lady Captain Linda Heaher who complimented the players on their talent and quality of play.
The players also brought great credit to Cheshire, their clubs and parents for the immaculate way they conducted themselves on and off the course and showing great respect for the host club, county officials and fellow players- with great friendship throughout a long day.
The top prizes were for the leading Under16 and Under 14 gross scores and the best net score.
The early pace was set by James Gilsenan (Chorlton GC), who had won his club’s Championship a few days previously as he posted a gross 73.
Some of the lowest handicappers were in the later starters and James’ lead score was overtaken by Tom McCann (Hazel Grove) 72 and Jack Barnes (Romiley) 71,
But the sting in the tail in the last group with Shane Clayton (Delamere Forest) posting a superb 68 to take the U16 trophy.
In the U14 section the winner with 77 was Aidan Lam (Prestbury), one less than Ricky Mohun (Delamere Forest).
The final prize for the best net score was won by Oscar Smith (Stamford) who celebrated his ninth birthday the day before the final.
Oscar was probably the smallest as well the youngest player ever to win this section with an excellent net score of 67.
The prizes were presented by Linda Heaher who also received a County Plaque from Cheshire Boys manager Andrew Henshall (pic above).
Linda gave well deserved thanks to everyone who made this another special day for junior golf in Cheshire.
