Henry claims junior title at Leighton Buzzard Golf Club
Cedars Academy student Henry Wooster has been crowned junior champion of Leighton Buzzard golf club, beating school colleague Max Brunker in a 36-hole repeat shoot-out of last year’s annual championship at the Plantation Road club (writes Stuart Oliver).
Henry and Max, who are both sixth form students at Cedars, went ‘head to head’ over two rounds, with Henry carding a fantastic ‘level par’ score of 71 in the afternoon round to top the board and be crowned Junior Club Champion for the first time.
The performance capped a fantastic summer for ‘scratch golfer’ Henry, who also claimed the Bedfordshire County Boys Under 16 title earlier in the month - another 36-hole medal competition at Pavenham Golf Club.
Other Leighton championship day awards were presented to Vandyke Upper school student George Rae who was Nett Score Winner, and 11-year-old Hannah Walsh, from Brooklands Middle who was aggregate nine-hole winner.
Leighton Club Captain Stuart Mills, following several other recent Junior golf events across Bedfordshire County, said: “The Juniors are going from strength to strength and are making everyone here at Leighton Buzzard Golf Club very proud.”
