Six to nine-year-old YDP members enjoyed a great day of golf on Wednesday, June 11, at the Golf Center in Des Plaines, Ill. The junior golfers played the 9-hole par 3 course on a beautiful 75 degree, sunny day.
And those youngsters took advantage of the great weather with some outstanding scores. Thomas Calbi (South Barrington, IL) was low for the day with a phenomenal round of five-over-par 32.
Ryan Magee (Hawthorn Woods, IL) was only two strokes behind the leader with a 34. Magee’s great score included a birdie on the eighth hole. Michael Adler (Winnetka, IL) rounded out the top three finishers with a great score of 36.
Gianna Furrie (St. Charles, IL) carded the low round of the day for the girls, with a great round of 37, which included a birdie on the fourth hole. Myah Jackson (Chicago, IL) placed second in the Girls division with a 47.
The next YDP 6-9-year-old event will be held on June 18 at Silver Lake Country Club.
