Ross Golf Club recently dedicated a day in support of its flourishing Juniors Section. Through the inspiration of the Club's Head Professional, Tim Hall and his Pro-shop team and countless golf club members from all sections, this resulted in over 120 youngsters who have been part of Tim's School of Golf, being entertained and instructed throughout a hugely successful and eventful day.

The fun morning format was represented by teaching clinics given by Tim and his Assistant Professional Oli Leett focusing on golf's short game including bunker play and putting, with Nike on board as well to showcase their innovative new products. There was a fully supported 18 holes 4 Ball Florida Scramble event during the afternoon with competitors invited to take on some novel fundraising challenges as well. The 'Beat the Pro' challenge at the Club's 12th picturesque par 3 pond hole witnessed Ross Juniors Captain and County Under 16 Champion Niall Powell driving first with team members tasked with the challenge to get their shot closer using a Nike Club of their choice. A long Nike driver competition showed Stephen Forrest and Sophie Price to be the top performers in their respective categories with highly impressive drives of 265 yards and 223 yards respectively.
