EPPING -- Young Essex Masters teed up for the annual event at Epping Golf Club on Thursday April 9.
About 150 young hopefuls accepted an invitation from club proprietor Neil Sjoberg to
try their hand at golf as seniors prepared at Augusta for The Masters.
Contests in putting and Tri Golf, the plastic equivalent of the game favoured by
some Essex Schools, plus coaching on the driving range by PGA professionals were
the background activities to the real golf played on the course.
Each group of three youngsters accompanied by an adult Epping
Golf Club member played 3 holes, 6 holes or 9 holes according to their age and
ability.
To be a Mighty Master you must be an absolute beginner, so the winner must not have a club handicap. Kyle Toby, aged 14, shot a 43 to take the Trophy. He plays
occasionally with his father at Theydon Bois.The best score of the day, 40 over 9 holes went to Orsett Golf Club’s William
Percival.
