Luke looks good in world junior golf
Local junior golfer Luke Harries, of Pembroke, is currently riding high because he recently travelled with his family to Gullane (home to Muirfield), having qualified again for the US Kids’ Golf European Championships.
After 72 holes over three days, Luke came sixth out of 41 competitors in his category, and Luke, aged nine years old, received an invitation from the US Kids’ Golf Organisation asking him back to play in this year’s World Championships, being staged in several weeks time at the famous Pinehurst Golf Resort, North Carolina, host of several US Opens.
This has been granted on his exemplary play in tournaments, both in this country and the United States. This will be Luke’s fourth crack at the title and he is really looking forward to the challenge.
St Andrews bound
The good news continues in his quest to become the HSBC Wee Wonders National Champion this year. Several weeks ago Luke won the area qualifier at Trefloyne Golf Club in the 9-10 years old category. This took him to the Welsh Final at Hay-on- Wye earlier this week where he again secured first place.
Luke will now travel to the National Final, which is being held at St Andrews at the end of the summer and this will be Luke’s second trip to the National Final at St Andrews. Luke is currently a member of South Pembs and Tenby Golf Clubs, he is part of the Dyfed Under 14's squad and receives regular coaching from Robert Ryder.
