Which way will it bend? A short putt is worth as much as a long drive so current Kingaroy Junior Golf Division 1 B Grade Champion Kobe George does all he can to work out the lie of the green

November 4, 2014

It came down to the last putt but Kobe George put the ball in the hole to seal a win for him and playing partner Kody Allen in Saturday’s two-man ambrose at Kingaroy Golf Course.

The dedicated junior golf club members took victory against Caiden Priaulx and Liam Trenerry in a great exhibition of skill.

Kody, 10, has been playing for four months and already has a handicap of 31.

Kobe, 9, has a handicap of 20 and been playing for six years, while Liam, 14, and Caiden, 16, have handicaps of 22 and 20 respectively after the same amount of time.

Kingaroy Junior Golf games are always played in a non-competitive spirit.

Co-ordinators Dony and Ange George said the game was about individuals trying to beat their own best scores from previous weeks.

“It’s always a great morning of fun and laughs, near misses, great shots and some ordinary ones, too,” Dony said.

Anybody under the age of 17 can join and play a round of nine holes for $5 every Saturday from 7:30am. Mums and dads are welcome to join them.

People wanting more information can phone Ange on 0435-771-436.
