Congratulations to our Junior member, Anna Kelsey who along with Olivia, Aoibheann & Aoibh, represented the Presentation in the schools team event recently at the Royal Curragh Golf Course and won the event. They have now qualified for the All Ireland Schools Finals next April in Milltown. The work in coaching, on course guidance by mentors and the junior program have focussed on developing golf skills, self confidence, encouraging each other and most importantly having fun, with the result the junior girls section at Gowran Park is thriving and we are so proud of Anna and her team for there accomplishments. Special thanks to our Ladies Competition secretary, Aisling Costelloe, who along with colleagues managed the team to their recent successes. Well done Anna, the junior program are proud of you and all the girls in our Junior program. ⛳
