Meanwhile, junior section, led by their Junior Organiser, Martin Shipley, has been busy during the past few weeks with the start of their summer schedule.

The junior section recently hosted Cambridge Meridian Golf Club in the CAGU League and managed to draw the match three games all. The match was played as singles, and the Royston team of Ryan Sharp, Robbie Norman, Guy Curtis, Luke Bailey, Robert Brain and Emily Smith all found good form on the day.

During the month, Junior George Sanders won the April Medal ahead of Robert Brain, and the two ‘Robbies’ came to the fore with Robbie Norman and Emily Smith winning The Rotary Charity and Robbie Ponting winning the Junior Stableford ahead of Alexander Brain.
