Portarlington Golf Club PORTARLINGTON GOLF CLUB

Two Medway girls lit up Portarlington Golf Club today as some of the best talent in Australia converged for the club’s annual Junior Open.

Georgia Schwartz (+2) carded a spectacular round of one-under 73 to win the gross prize, while clubmate Amelia Wearne (3) fired a one-over 75 to win the nett prize with 72.

And then no fewer than six boys shot rounds of 76, leaving an array of countbacks to determine graded prize winners.

Eventually, East Geelong’s Abel Foley was declared the A grade gross winner from his brother, Ned.

Event spokeswoman Angela Foott said the talent on display in the 56-strong field was exceptional.

“You can see by just those scores what amazing depth and talent we have, so to have them all here was a real boon for the club,” Foott said.

“We had representatives from 26 clubs including players from South Australia, Queensland and all around Victoria and they all said how well the course was prepared and how well it suited junior tournaments.

“We’re really excited that the tournament has become so widely popular since it was reinstated on our calendar only recently – it’s a good sign for junior golf in our area.”
