Sean Cowan, who joined SALJGA for the first time this year, won the opening boys Mini Tour 1 event of the season, the Flanagan Trophy played over the Strathtyrum on Sunday. Sean won by two shots over Fraser Hayles and three shots over Murray Watson.
Chloe Goadby played a steady round to win by two shots from sister Lauren in the girls’ event and thereby gain bragging rights in the Goadby household. In the boys’ event Sean was competing against brother Ryan, also playing in his first SALJGA competition, and will no doubt be enjoying his own bragging rights at home.
The boys’ event had a healthy field of 14 players but the number of girls competing was disappointing. Hopefully more girls will have found their golf clubs for the Mini-tour events next month.
