SEG Under 16 League (Norfolk and Essex)

SEG Under 16 League (Norfolk and Essex) The U16 s played their 2nd triangular league match against Norfolk and Essex on Saturday the 3rd of July at Barnham Broom Golf Club in Norfolk. In order to give ourselves a fighting chance of winning the league Suffolk needed a clean sweep. The Hill Course was in fine condition and the weather stayed fair so there were no excuses. Essex fielded a very strong side again with handicaps ranging from +1 to 2. Unfortunately those impressive Essex handicaps proved too much for us and they had a clean sweep winning every match against Suffolk and 7 out of 8 matches against Norfolk.  Suffolk did beat Norfolk, 7 points to 1, to give ourselves a slim chance of taking top spot in the final league game in a couple of weeks. Charlie Goodridge and Fraser Johnson both made their U16 debuts and both secured a point each with a win against Norfolk, the highlight being an impressive comeback from Fraser who was a few holes down to Norfolk at the turn.  In only his 2nd start for the county Liam Buggs won a point. Mackenzie Bacon was not only making his U16 debut at the weekend but also his county debut. After going down early to Norfolk he battled back to win a point on the 17th hole to crown an impressive start to his Suffolk County Golf career.  Team photo:- (Front Row): Mackenzie Bacon, Liam Buggs, Charlie Goodridge- (Back Row): Henry Meadows, Jack Rust, Fraser Johnson, Harry Brinded (captain).Missing from photo: Reuben Harvey Please click here to view full results
