Island Juniors take on a team of Family members
The Guernsey Junior Golf squad played a team match against friends and relatives at La Grande Mare on Sunday. The format was fourball Matchplay and it provided a great opportunity to welcome some of the new members into the squad and give them the chance to team up with some of the more experienced juniors in a fun but competitive format.
In the end the Juniors won 4-3 on a day enjoyed by everyone in good weather.
A huge thank you to all the friends and relatives for taking part and hopefully we will see more of these fixtures again this season.
