I competed on the summer tour entering the Hertfordshire order of merit held each Wednesday during July and August. From the 6 events I competed in I won five and came second in the other to win through to the South of England Finals. This event was played over 18 holes (red tees) in London. I played extremely well and shot a 7 over par 74 to win my age group by 7 shots. I was now really excited as I had qualified to play in the national finals at The Belfry in October. I practiced hard in the weeks leading up to event and after a good practice round on the course on the day before I was ready! I had an excellent round shooting a 4 over par 76 over the 18 holes. My driving was long and putting good on the fast greens of the immaculate Derby course. I finished in second place in a very competitive field in my age group and shot the fourth lowest score of the day across all age groups. With my result I have qualified to represent the British Tour at under 10’s at the Callaway World Championships in San Diego, USA in July next year.

On November 18th I was invited to attend the 2007 Golf Show in Birmingham to participate in some demonstrations for junior golf in the UK. I was also interviewed by the BBC with DJ Spooney and Austin Healey and then had a lesson with Gary Allis (son of Peter) head pro at the Belfry. I feel very privileged to get these opportunities and would like to thank Ian and the Tiger team for their help in progressing my golf.

Great Drive on the 1st by Josh
