Goodwood Juniors win Sussex club competition
This is the first time that Goodwood has won this trophy and it is the continuation of what has been a great season for the junior team. They held off the challenge from five other clubs including Worthing, Bognor, Ham Manor, West Sussex and West Chiltington in taking the trophy by two shots in windy conditions where shot making was rewarded in the medal competition where the three best scores counted from each team.
Solid scoring won the day with Alfie Simpson as the stand out player on the winning side taking the net competition with a 65. The rest of the side pitched in with strong scores as Max Herring 67, Jamie Burchell 70 and Joe Sykes 71 all played strongly to secure the title.
The strength of Goodwood junior golf is growing as The Academy continues to attract young talent with this team showing the results of the coaching set up now in place.
