Each year, in conjunction with the CEO of Jack Newton, Peter van Wegen, deserving juniors are identified and are put forward by JNJG to the Nomads Sydney North Committee for consideration.
On Sunday 28 April 2019, Sydney North Captain, Peter Hodge, was pleased to announce that the Jack Newton Junior Golf Scholarship recipients for 2019 were Kai, Noah and Millie Komulainen.
A cheque of $4,000 was handed over to JNJG to administer, on behalf of the Komulainen Kids, and this will be used to assist them in meeting some of the costs in getting to tournaments around NSW. It was pleasing to see their parents, Jani and Tammi at Long Reef on Sunday, with Jani chaperoning Millie as Peter van Wegen pulled out early that morning with an injury.
At 13, Kai is particularly impressive and off a scratch handicap, he scored 3 under on Sunday. Very impressive indeed and that even got the attention of our best golfer, Andrew Brown. Noah plays off a 9 handicap and Millie of 13. Both handy golfers at their ages.
Kai, Noah and Millie, we look forward to your development with JNJG and hope you have a lot of fun while growing in the game of golf.
Other Furtherance of Golf committed for 2019
Sydney North has paid a further $2,000 to the JNJG National Initiative where 6 golfers (2 from each of NSW, QLD and WA) will go to play in the Nomads SA Boys U17 Championship at St Francis Links Golf Club, South Africa, in early July.
