ST. MAARTEN GOLF ASSOCIATION

Junior Golf SXM recently held their Awards Gala at Marigot Yacht Club.  The ceremony was held to mark the closing of the 2022 golfing year and herald the 2023 session.

 

There were 75 full time junior full-time participants at the Mullet Bay Golf Course weekly.  An additional 25 young golfers were occasional participants. The active schools participating were CIA, Learning Unlimited, Sister Regina Primary School, St Dominic Primary School and the Seventh Day Adventist School. Independent children (Schools from which less than 4 children participated) were from St Joseph Primary School, Sister Magda School, Charlotte Brookson Academy, Hillside Academy, Ecole Jean de La Fontaine and homeschooled children.

 

Awards were handed out for the R&A 2023 Junior Golf SXM Open and other additional awards were given for various other tournaments throughout this past Junior Golf season. On hand were Board Members, James Park (Junior Golf Board Member), Jan Peter Holtland (Tournament Board Member) and Keith Graham (President SMGA).

 

The top 25 golfers from this past season received recognition, as they received their Certificate of Completion for their specific level, as well as a medal. Then the top 10 finalists from the Open were awarded their medals and trophies.

 

The evening was graciously hosted by Marigot Yacht Club. Special thanks to Roberta Ceccarelli for being the Master of Ceremonies, as she interviewed the children throughout the evening.
