Local knowledge pays off for Craig Jackman at Elmwood

FROM WALTER BURNS

Here are the results from the Scottish Junior Golf Tour event at Elmwood yesterday. Due to early morning frost, winter greens were in play. 

However, it was a bright, sunny day and the shortened course allowed for some great scoring from juniors whose short game was on. 

We played 9:9Golf which is a great format in such winter conditions and the juniors had a real fun day.

The best score of the day came from Dunblane Golf Club member Craig Jackman with seven-under-par 28. Craig is a student at Elmwood so his familiarity with the course helped.
