Dear Members,

Round 2 of the Junior Club Championships was played on Sunday, and despite some challenging conditions once again, we witnessed some outstanding golf and excellent scoring.

After starting the day one shot behind, a fantastic round of 79 saw Max Shinsky crowned the 2025 Junior Club Champion, finishing two shots ahead of runner-up Alex Milles.

In the nett event, Jimmy Tiller claimed victory with a superb second-round nett 69, securing the win by two shots from runner-up Josh Stokes.

Thank you to all juniors who participated in this year’s event—well done to everyone who competed.
