Over a very windy and often wet Dundonald Links, our finalists in the Paul Lawrie Foundation Junior Jug competition battled it out to become the "Jug" champions for 2009.
Scoring proved to be very high, especially for the late starters who had the worst of the weather. However our young golfers persevered against the elements and produced some excellent golf.
Highlight of the day was the performance of Stirling Univerity student Colin Baird who knocked it round the links in 72 shots.
With the flag poles bent double and driving rain this was truly an outstanding score. He won the scratch title from Scott Gibson (Southerness GC) and Eamon Bradley (Mount Ellen GC) who both shot 78. Scott pipped Eamon for second place with a better last six holes.
In the handicap event it was a very close run event with only one shot seperating the first three places. Jamie Lynch ( Falkirk) lifted the title on a better inward half from Gorden Cowen (West Lothian) after the pair had registered a 76 nett.
Close on their heels was Chris Low (Tantallon GC) who shot a nett 77.
Our first ever national competition was a huge success. We had seven regional qualifying events with over 500 golfers attempting to qualify for the final 56 places. The Paul Lawrie Foundation would like to thank all the clubs and tournament officals for their hard work in making this tournament run so smoothly.
Special thanks must be given to Adam Hunter, Emma and Beth who ran Saturday's tournament like a Tour Event.
+All the players received a signed photo with Paul.
+The range and practice area were set up for them to get warmed up and they were fed and watered before, during and after their golf.
Adam also organised a question and answer session with Paul which went down a treat with the players and parents followed by the prize giving.
The only disappointing part of the day was the fact that two of the prize winners were not present to receive their trophies.
