28/29^th November, the Scottish Junior Golf Tour held a level 4, two day event over the Torrance course at the Fairmont St Andrews resort. The redesigned Torrance course is superb with tees and greens on all year and the hotel itself is always a great place to stay.

We invited some English juniors for a bit of extra competition and, for the first time, we integrated some of the girls into the competition.

Saturday morning saw St. Andrews’ first frost of the year, threatening cancellation, but the sun came up thawing out the course and play began after an hour’s delay in fine sunny weather. Jamie Savage (Cawder) led after the first day with a 72.

On Sunday a Gale was blowing in from the North Sea with frequent squalls making for atrocious conditions. To minimize the risk of hypothermia we decided to reduce the competition to 9 holes.

Congratulations to all 35 juniors for completing the 9 holes with encouragement from parents, friends and coaches.
