Report of Grow Well Six at 2018 Caribbean Junior Golf Open
Thank You, Sponsors, Coaches, Monitors and Supporters!!!!
Keymanie Thomas, Celina Lubin, Lisa Daniel, Quain Jones, Rayshorn Joseph, Samuel Richelieu
Six Grow Well junior golfers left on April 2nd, 2018 to compete in the 4-day Caribbean Junior Golf Open at St. Andrews Golf Course in Trinidad. Eagerly boarding the plane were four boys and two girls, ages 13 to 17, the best of the group of 16 who train after school in the Grow Well Junior Golf program under the sponsorship of the Sandals Cap Estate Golf Club. Their participation in this overseas tournament was sponsored principally by Cap Estate St. Lucia Ltd and TOGS (The Oliver Gobat Sports Fund.)
Samuel, Keymanie, Quain, Rayshorn, Lisa, Celina at St. Andrews, Trinidad
The young golfers returned from Trinidad early Saturday morning April 7 to a warm welcome at Sandals, Cap Estate. They had played their hearts out, with 17-year-old Quain Jones (91,90,92) shooting the best of the St. Lucia contingent. 14-year-old Keymanie Thomas (92,95,90) playing the best of all St. Lucians in his age category. 16-year-old Lisa Daniel distinguished herself by winning the prize for longest drive in her age category. Coach Paul Cooper accompanied the team and expressed his pride in their performance. He said Quain demonstrated to the world why he was named Junior Golfer of the Year 2017 by the St. Lucia Department of Youth and Sports.
Quiet Samuel Richelieu does the job! Grow Well golf had a separate competition for the best net score, since the Caribbean Open rewards only best gross scores. To everyone’s amazement and his delight, Samuel on two days played better than his handicap and won our low net competition by 18 shots.
13-year-old Celina Lubin playing in her first major individual contest held her own for 2 consecutive 18-hole rounds but struggled a bit on the last day. Rayshorn Joseph was the most impressive long ball hitter and just missed the award for longest drive on the last day. These youngsters walk the course for 18 holes on practice day, then 3 more days of competition. Young legs, strong backs!!!
Congrats to all, and thanks to Grow Well Coaches Paul Cooper, Cliff Alcide, Terry Verdant – and to International Pro Regis Gustave who trained the Grow Well Six during his winter sojourn in St. Lucia. Our sponsors believe in Grow Well’s youth and our talented golfers were up to the task!!!
