AYRSHIRE GOLF: AYRSHIRE JUNIOR GOLF LEAGUE - 2022 winners honoured at Annual Dinner

The Annual Dinner of The Ayrshire Junior Golf League was held at Prestwick St Cuthbert Golf Club in November, with the 2022 winners of the various junior competition in the county being honoured for their achievements.

The evening was chaired by League Chairman Martin Robbins (Prestwick St Cuthbert GC) and a fine meal was enjoyed by the company, of junior golfers, club conveners, honorary members, representatives of The Ayrshire Golf Association and other guests.

Following the meal and raffle the 2022 event winners were announced.

Jack Broadfoot

The first presentations of the evening were the MacRobert Thistle Junior Golfer of the year trophies to the outstanding boy and girl golfer in Ayrshire in 2022, which were handed over to the worthy recipients by Ayrshire Golf Association President Scotto Gilchrist.

The boys' winner was Jack Broadfoot (Troon Welbeck) who performances throughout the season included wins in three open events in the county and a runner up spot in the Ayrshire Boys Matchplay Championship, which led to him securing the Junior order of merit trophy for the season. In addition he was Junior Captain of his home club, impressing with his courteous manners and support for younger members of his club.

Louise Milligan

The girls' award was won by Louise Milligan (Irvine) who is also a member of
Loudoun. A valuable member of the Irvine junior team since 2018, she was one of the first girl members of the club and since joining has been supportive and encouraging to all the girls who have since joined in her wake. Her conduct on and off the course was commended, as was her support of younger girls throughout Ayrshire by assisting in the delivery of coaching at the Irvine driving range, an aspect she plans to continue to develop in further education at the Highland University, on a golf related course. A winner of several club events and open competitions in Ayrshire during the season and an ever present in the Irvine junior team that reached the Ayrshire Junior Golf League Championship final, the award represented well deserved recognition for Louise for her efforts and commitment in 2022.
