Joshua Hill shoots tournament record 23 in the Dubai Golf Par 3 Junior Series at Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club
Dubai Golf hosted the 7thevent of this seasons Dubai Golf Par 3 Series onFriday 25th April.
The event was played over Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club’s 9 hole Academy Course and was made up of a strong field of 50 budding future stars.
The event was the seventh of an eight tournament series and is part of an initiative by the Dubai Golf Academy Professionals to encourage junior golfers to move from the driving range to the golf course. Between the two Dubai Golf Academies at Emirates Golf Club and Dubai Creek and Yacht Club, over 500 juniors participate in regular weekly lessons as part of the Dubai Golf Junior Development Programme sponsored by Jumeirah and Wild Wadi Waterpark.
Juniors from five levels of the Dubai Golf Junior programme ( Black, Purple, Blue, Yellow and white) competed against one another with each level being highly contested. Winners received vouchers for Wild Wadi Waterpark, trophies and a host of other prizes. Each score was awarded with some valuable order of merit points which will be added together for all the events throughout the year.
As the competitors are fastly approaching the season ending final event this was a great opportunity for some to give themselves a much needed boost on the order of merit table. Some of the regular names competed also with one in particular Joshua Hill shooting a tournament record 23 (4 under par) to win on the day and open up a 75 point lead in the Order of merit going into the last event.
