RISING stars in Romanby Golf Club’s junior section are benefitting from sponsorship from a local car dealership.
Romanby Golf Club’s junior section has been sponsored by Simon Bailes Peugeot in Northallerton for 16 years and is the company’s longest running community commitment.
Will Edson, 16, is the team’s junior captain and has been a member of the club for seven years.
Will currently works in the golf club’s shop every Saturday morning, and represents the section as captain on a regular basis at golfing trips and competitions. He also plays with the adult union team and has a handicap of 4.6, down from seven earlier this year.
Other shining stars of the section include Melodie Goodall, 13, who is playing with both the junior team and the ladies section.
The support from Simon Bailes is allowing 12 junior golfers to have coaching and lessons with a Professional Golfers’ Association expert.
Will said: “As junior captain I enjoy representing Romanby Golf Club in the best way possible."
