Herman wins under 12 English Golf Skills Challenge
Following his victory two weeks ago in the Under 14 Island Boys Championship, Herman Loubser went on to complete a notable double the following weekend when he became the winner of the 9 -11 age group in the English Golf Union's National Skills Challenge.
Several thousand young golfers entered this competition from across England competing initially at local level and through regional finals to the grand final at the National Golf Centre at Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire. Herman won the Isle of Man leg of the competition at Port St Mary and so qualified for the Northern Regional Finals which were held on August 13th at Manchester Golf Club. Despite heavy rain showers, Herman beat the other 23 northern qualifiers to become the regional winner and so progress to the grand final. The EGU's Skills Challenge competition comprises 10 tests of chipping, putting, bunker play and full swings and Herman beat the other regional winners from the Midlands, Southeast and Southwest of England by 4 points largely due to holing one of his chip shots and a bunker shot to become champion.
At age 11 and with a handicap of 8, great things beckon in the world of golf for Herman.

His demeanour both on and off the course has been excellent, his manners, etiquette and appearance setting a fine example for all the juniors. George has also contributed meaningfully at Junior committee meetings and we are grateful for all the time he has given during his year in office.
