Junior News

As the evening sunlight lengthens and Spring sets in the Junior Season starts to kick into action and already we are seeing some spectacular feats and stars of the future.

We've been keeping an eye on Tiny Woods, 6-year-old Reece Campbell-Murphy (That's just for his mum). Reece has been leaving a trail of gaping jaws everywhere he goes with his golfing ability. He has beaten his local pro, set a new long drive world record for his age, and is raising the profile of junior golf to a phenomenal level in Scotland.

He recently embarked on a marathon seven course - taking on Scotland's seven finest courses for childrens' charity Barnados - and here's how the wee fella got on:

The final net scores of all events are as follows; Reece played each course from men's yellow tees.

18.03.06. St Andrews Bay, Par 70, 6242 yards. Pro- 90, Reece 109

19.03.06. Turnberry, Par 72, 6440 yards. Pro-77, Reece-87

20.03.06. Glasgow Golf Club Gailes, Par 71, 6322 yards. Pro-79, Reece-78

21.03.06. Burntisland, Par 70, 6073 yards. Pro-71, Reece-97 (Reece's 6th birthday)

22.03.06. Gleneagles, Par 68, 5965 yards. Pro-82, Reece-90

23.03.06. Gullane, Par 71, 6466 yards. Pro-73, Reece-85

24.03.06. Old Course St Andrews, Par 71, 6387 yards. Pro-82, Reece-87

His efforts have also made him somewhat of a star in Japan and you can see the footage on either of these links. http://fnn.fujitv.co.jp/en/, www.tinywoods.co.uk
