Last week the Club Junior Open was held in fantastic weather conditions. An entry of 65 juniors from across Dyfed competed in five separate competitions some of which were a Dyfed Order of Merit event. In all there were 20 competitors from Tenby Golf Club. Quote of the day from a Haverfordwest youngster as he was asked when he came off the 18th green if he’d enjoyed his day.
”Of course I’ve enjoyed myself I’ve just come and shot sub 100 at Tenby on my first visit, what more is there to enjoy” Not one of the youngsters in the two medal rounds carded a NR.
The winners of the Barbara Shaw Trophy for the best gross in the two medal competitions were
Tomas Carlson Tenby with a gross score of 74 and Sophia Lawrence of Glyn Abbey with a Gross score of 91. They are pictured holding the trophy.

A massive thank you to all the volunteers who not only helped on the day but in the weeks leading up to the event with the planning.
We are grateful to our sponsors who made this event possible.
Tenby Ladies, Seniors, Rabbits and Swingers sections and also two members who gave generous donations. The Barbara Shaw Trophy was sponsored by the Tenby Golf Foundation. The course was set up magnificently and thanks to Brendan and his team for the calm way they coped with the mass of hungry teenagers. We couldn’t have done this without the office staff. All in all a great Tenby Golf Club team effort.
