Youth won the day at Paisley Golf Club’s 2017 final, with all three major championsh­ips going to young golfers.

The junior championsh­ip was won by Cameron Lyle, 18, the ladies’ championsh­ip by Emma Kennedy, 22, while the club championsh­ip was won by Owen Lavelle, 27.

The success of the youngsters was greeted with great pride by club captain Gordon McKinnon, who was delighted to hand over the silverware to the club’s young stars.

And he took time to congratula­te all who took part in yet another well run competitio­n at Paisley Golf Club.

He said: “It is wonderful to see such talented young players rise to the top at Paisley Golf Club.

“Owen currently has a handicap of +2, while Emma and Cameron both play off 5.

“They are all truly deserving of their titles.

“Paisley Golf Club believes in fostering young talent.

“We have a vibrant junior section and both our profession­als run successful junior golf initiative­s.

“Also, a recent club recruitmen­t drive, which targeted golfers in their 20s and 30s, proved very successful and has resulted in the introducti­on of a waiting list for future applicants.

“Fifteen titles in total were contested on our finals day and I congratula­te everyone who took part, both winners and runners up.

“Our greenkeepi­ng staff presented the course in fantastic condition for finals day and it received many compliment­s from all the competitor­s.

“Finally, I’d like to thank all the members of Paisley Golf Club, plus their families and friends who turned out to support the contestant­s and helped create an exciting tournament atmosphere for all to enjoy.”
