MENDIP Golf Club’s junior section enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of golf at the Halloween Scramble, with 16 juniors taking part in a fun nine-hole team competition.
The event featured a Halloween-themed Texas Scramble, including a special Pumpkin Ball challenge where teams could earn double Stableford points if their nominated Pumpkin Ball drive was selected. There were also prizes for the best-designed Pumpkin Ball and a simulator nearest-the-pin competition, with everyone enjoying pizza and goody bags afterwards.
Congratulations go to the winning team of Tildee Rocker-Cook, Ariana Hambleton, Noah Hartley and Maxwell Grew, who finished with an impressive 40 points.
