Played a club team pairs matchplay event today.The captain puts me and my partner a 19 handicap against a 13 handicap and a 14 year old 7 handicap who cant weigh more than 9 stone soaking wet.
The young lad was matching my drives on most holes ok i was hitting a 3 or 5 wood.His irons were no where near what i hit but i was very impressed with his overall game.After the match he introduced me to his dad with the words (this guy birdies eveything) he was not big headed and really seemed to enjoy the match.I talked to his dad for a while and said i thought he had natural talent and a good approach towards the mental part of the game.
When i was a junior i never met another single handicap my age now i play quite often with them.Any of you guys played with young players who you could see a good future ahead of them not necessarily for a living but to a very good standard of golf?
