T
he Ayr Golf Club played host to an exceptional weekend of sporting talent during the annual Karrie Webb Junior Masters, a testament to the enduring legacy of one of Australia’s golfing icons. With a total of 66 junior golfers taking to the greens, this event showcased not only the emerging talents but also the commitment to nurturing young golfers in the country. Participants ranged from 18-hole players to those
competing in shorter rounds, with families from the local community and avid players traveling from as far as Brisbane, Yeppoon, and Cairns. The diversity of the field highlighted the tournament’s significance within the junior golfing community. Evelyn Webb, Karrie Webb’s mother and one of the tournament’s organisers, emphasised the event’s growing prominence. She reflected on how this annual gathering has evolved over the years,
stating, “I think it’s gotten bigger. Helen Oar, myself and the junior committee have run this now for the last three times and it’s just gotten bigger and bigger,” she said. “With the state accreditation attached to it, it will hopefully grow into the future.” Continued in sport on pages 46-47
