On December 23 and again on December 30 the RSL Social Golf Club and the Workers Golf Club were both were out in force. The members out for some exercise, enjoying the weather and their attempts at hitting the little white ball into a hole 100 metres or so away in the least number of strokes they could.

Goulburn Golf Club men have still managed their Thursday and Saturday play over the break.

While the Tully Park juniors have taken an official break until February 2, there were, no doubt, many junior players who got in a round or two over Christmas.

• Tully Park Juniors 

It was a big year for Tully Park Junior golfer Lachlan Bill. As well as his win in the second division of the Subaru State Age Championships, he managed good performances in the junior sub division of the Srixon International tournament and Brett Ogle Classic, winning the men’s B Grade Gross at Tully and taking out the Rocky Harris Trophy for the overall best nett score in the men’s championships. He rounded off the year with being awarded the Barry Pengelly Perpetual Trophy for Junior of the Year for the second time in four years.

Lachlan starts 2013 with the Harvey Norman Junior Week of Golf on January 7 - 11 playing five days of golf over five courses in Sydney, from Windsor to Parramatta.

Over the coming months he has his weekend commitments to SERAS, (the South Eastern Regional Academy of Sport) where he will be working with professional golfers and coaches from the region to further develop the natural talents that Lachlan has displayed.

The members at Tully wish Lachlan all the best with his endeavours through the year.

The Tully Park junior golf is on a break until February 2, when we return at 8.30 am for coaching.

Over the holiday period several of the juniors will be getting their handicaps so they will be able to participate in the adult midweek and Sunday competitions.

This is a big step up for some but one that will enhance their skills and abilities in time to come and hopefully cement their love for the game.
