Sincere thanks to the Greenacres GC in sunny Richmond, BC for hosting the boys and girls age 11 & up. The unique challenge at Greenacres is to find the fairways and then use pinpoint accuracy to land on the target greens so prominent.

Age 11 – 12 “Bear Cubs” Another victory notch for A.J. Ewart of Coquitlam, as an Optimist Junior Linkster trophy is added to A.J.'s growing collection. Second spot and the silver medal, again for the second time in less than a week, goes to Patrick Tan of Vancouver. Bronze medal for third spot goes to Port Moody's Noah Guise. No doubt all the juniors appreciate the value of being able to hit that ball straight – when they want to!

Age 13 – 15 “Tiger Cubs” A successful return to Optimist Junior Linkster action by Vancouver's Trevor YU, who fired a terrific 74 to take first place easily. The quiet and determined Trevor goes about his golf in a very precise manner and the results show! Medals for second and third took a tie-breaker – best back nine hole score, with David Cui of Vancouver claiming the silver and Richmond's Alex Chen settling for the bronze. Lots of room for improvement here!

Junior Girls Division enjoyed seeing the classy young and oh so talented Tiffany KONG of Vancouver claim the first place trophy on the lush Greenacres layout, with newcomers Gayle OH, also of Vancouver, take the silver medal and Grace Luo of Vancouver, accept the bronze medal for third place.
