CARRADALE Golf Club’s talented eight-year-old golfer Wee Bobby Willan has just returned from Srathmore Golf Course where he was competing in the regional finals of the HSBC UK Wee Wonders golf tournament.
This usually attracts more than 4000 entries from throughout the UK and those are whittled down to the top 10 in each age group via qualifying rounds.
Wee Bobby was competing in the seven-to-eight-year-olds section and having made it to the Grand Final last year he was keen to get there again.
Despite some great golf a mistake on his second last hole left Wee Bobby with the runner-up place having narrowly being beaten by another rising star eight-year-old Michael Lawrie of Royal Aberdeen golf Club and son of former British open champion Paul Lawrie.
Undeterred, Wee Bobby was back out practising at Carradale this week because on Sunday 29th he heads to Pinehurst, North Carolina USA with the Great Britain and Ireland Wee Wonders team to play in the US Junior World Championships, a trip he, is very excited about.
He said: ‘It’ll be fun to play in America and have Dad carry my bag.’
The members of Carradale Golf club are very proud of Wee Bobby’s achievement and would like to wish him the vary best of luck as he flies the Carradale Golf Club flag in America.
He’ll be going with his Dad, also Bobby, Mum Audrey and 11-year-old sister Gemma, his biggest fan.
