Yesterday’s (Sunday, Sept. 7) junior golf tournament at the Kindersley Regional Park was a huge success, bringing together 48 young golfers aged 10-18 from Kindersley, Leader, and Kerrobert. The 9-hole tournament kicked off with a shotgun start at 10 AM, blessed by beautiful weather that made for a perfect day on the greens.

Tournament organizer Shaun Henry emphasized the importance of learning not just the game, but also the rules and etiquette of golf. “It’s crucial for these young players to understand the traditions and sportsmanship that make golf such a respected game,” Henry noted. The event was designed to be both competitive and educational, providing a platform for young athletes to hone their skills while learning valuable life lessons.

Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of numerous sponsors who donated cash and prizes, no participant left empty-handed. The top winners in each age category were: Jacoby Calkins (10 and under), Nixon Hearn (11-12 years), Carter Holland (13-14 years), Hudson Moreau (15-16 years), Nathan Holland (16+) and top girl going to Zaya Bothner. The tournament not only celebrated their achievements but also highlighted the bright future of junior golf in the region.
