Eighteen year old David Docherty from Bonnyton Golf Club leads the Junior Order of Merit after an amazing run of success which has seen his handicap reduced to one and his first game for the Renfrewshire Golf Union Junior County Team.
His great season started at the Renfrewshire Golf Union Stroke Play Championship – the Caven Trophy – where he took second place to Ranfurly Castle’s Josh Bogle. He then proceeded to win the Junior Open events at Cochrane Castle where he shot 70, Erskine with a fine 71 then Elderslie with an even better round of 69.
Adding these successes to two other top ten places sees David (pictured) well in front of Josh Bogle, the Stroke Play Champion but Josh is confident that he can make up the lost ground in the remaining events.
There is a similar story in the under 14 Order of Merit with Cochrane Castle youngster, Colin Edgar, well ahead of the field with wins at Elderslie, Cochrane Castle and Erskine added to a third place at Caldwell.
Top positions are:
David Docherty Bonnyton 535 points
Josh Bogle Ranfurly Castle 340
Anton O’Donnell Whinhill 255
Under 14
Colin Edgar Cochrane Castle 505 points
Steven Wilson Whinhill 420
Anthony McCauley Whinhill 270
