You may be keen to know how good are the best young golfers in Australia? Well, I can only speak primarily in Western Australia as there is where I am based at. In saying so, I have two children, one 5 years old and the other 8, participating competitively and been doing very well at the state foundation tournaments. To see, how the best are doing, please go to the Graham March Junior Golf Foundation site. You may be impressed with some of the scores these youngsters churn out.
You may notice a 14 year old girl by the name MinJee Lee who trains at Melville Glades Golf Club and Murdoch Pines Driving Range playing with the big names at this year's Australian Open and ANZ Ladies Masters. As I am writing this, she is amongst the leaders at the latter with a score of 8 under!! Ahead of even some of the best golfers in the world such as Karrie Webb and Yannie Tseng who is now world number 3!
If that is not impressive, you tell me what is.
Check out some of the future of golf at some of the golf clubs and driving ranges in WA. You never know how far these kids will go.
