A total of 42 Junior golfers participated in this year’s SGA Junior Golf Tournament at Bintan Lagoon Resort from the 23rd – 25th November and was played at the beautiful Jack Nicklaus Golf Course. During the two round stroke play tournament, the juniors were given a good challenge as they navigated the golf course’s undulating terrain and tight greens.
In the Boy’s A’ Division, Junior Squad member Austin Tan captured the win when he fired a 71 in the second round and was 7 strokes clear of nearest competitor and Junior Squad member, Shmuwel Soh. Development Squad member, Hailey Loh (68, 72, 140), pitched in for an eagle on the par 4 tenth hole and managed to secure her victory in the Girl’s A’ Division over fellow Development Squad member, Angel Lim (70, 72, 142) who ended just two strokes behind. The Boys B’ Division saw Ethan Lim firing an impressive 76 in the second round to take home the win over closest competitors Sean Pang and Giovanni Goh who were both tied in second place after shooting identical scores (83, 83, 166) over the two days. The Girl’s B’ Division was a close affair as Guo Jun Xi and Jaymie Ng shot similar scores of (84, 85, 169) over the two days. Guo became the eventual champion of the Girls B’ Division on count back.
The parents who came to support the juniors were treated with rounds of golf played at the Ian Baker Finch and the Jack Nicklaus Golf Course. After playing the golf courses, the parents came out with a better appreciation and understanding of the challenges the juniors face during the tournament. Off the course, they engaged in many other activities provided by Bintan Lagoon Resort such as billiards, electronic darts and other sports such as Table Tennis. SGA would like to once again thank all participants and parents for supporting this event and making it a success.
