Young golfers on show
The defending champion, David O’Keefe, and the 1983 champion, Stuart Dalkie, will both be striving for their second Canterbury under-21 golf titles when the provincial junior championships are played at Templeton tomorrow.
O’Keefe, a national junior representative, won last year’s event by two strokes. The course was reduced from 36 holes to 27 by ice on the greens. It is a strong and even field though, with the 12 Town juniors to play Country next week, all playing, and a good number of the Country boys competing as well.
Apart from O’Keefe, Bruce Lavender, Brett Chambers, Richard Hurley, Mark Elley and Andrew Barkle have had the advantage of playing in the premier inter-club competition for the Woodward Cup, while Craig Mitchell beat many highly-ranked senior players in winning the Summer Open at Templeton earlier this year.
Warwick Sherwood is another golfer to have emerged this season. He won the Canterbury junior stroke championship in February and was runner-up in the provincial men’s foursomes the next month.
