With the 2007 HSBC Wee Wonders competition underway, it is interesting to note how a previous winner of the event is progressing.

Seven-year-old Luke Harries of South Pembs and Trefloyne Golf Club (pictured right), has got his golfing year off to a great start. At the end of April, Luke played in the British Junior Golf Tour ‘Winter Series’ National Final at The DeVere Dunston Hall, Norwich, having won his category at the welsh qualifier at Garnant Park GC several weeks prior.
Dunston Hall was a very challenging course with the competition played over 18 holes, off the ladies red tees. Luke finished in 2nd place with a gross 91. Two shots off the lead.
Luke now hopes to compete in the ‘Summer Series’ where the National Final is being held at The Belfry.

Earlier this year Luke played on foreign soil again, having been invited to play in The Jekyll Island Cup, Georgia. After three medal rounds, Luke came 7th against competitors from all over the World. This invitation came about through his fine performance at the US Kids Golf World Championships last Summer which in turn was a result of his victory at the grand final of the HSBC Wee Wonders.
