The golfing season is now well underway for the junior members of Effingham Golf Club with boys and girls enjoying their coaching sessions with Lee Boxall, the Club’s Junior Development Coach and then getting out on the golf course to get their handicaps down. Sam Westacott has improved his handicap from 32 to 22.8 since the start of the year, Dominic Wilson from 16.9 to 14.2, Adam Meadows from 12.9 to 11.5 and Harry Barlow from 15.1 to 13.9 with a hole in one on the 7th in the March stableford. The Club is anticipating that more than 10 of its juniors will achieve single figure handicap status this year.

James Braby (h`cap 3) won the Surrey Under 18 Junior Championship at Hindhead Golf Club recently and two of the Club’s younger juniors, Sam Barthram and Daniel Sarson have been selected to play for the Surrey County Junior Golf Team, and a number of other up and coming Effingham golfers are in the County junior coaching squad.
