HAGGS CASTLE BOY TAMES GALE AT GULLANE ON SJT

FROM WALTER BURNS

Scottish Junior Golf Tour

Here are the results from the Scottish Junior Golf Tour event at Gullane yesterday on the No. 3 course. 

It was a day when perhaps golf should not have been attempted. The wind was much stronger than forecast and afternoon rain made the challenge even more interesting. It was extremely cold and many of the juniors lost sensation in their hands. Completing the round was an achievement regardless of score. 

Stoically, Aidan Husenne from Haggs Castle stuck to his task and gave a masterly display of ball control in the gale-force winds. His three over par 71 was a fantastic outcome in such conditions. Also to be congratulated was 12 year old Ewan Wheat’s 83 which was good enough to win the Under-14 section.
