On Tuesday, 12 boys took part in the annual Junior School par 3 competition. For the first time, this event was a team event which worked brilliantly for the boys to play together with a shared goal.

Teams of four played a 'Texas scramble' over nine holes at Stoneleigh Deer Park in beautiful sunshine.

The standard of golf was excellent and the experience the boys gained playing a course and having to manage strategy and shot selection will stand them in good stead as their golf careers progress.

It was an incredibly close contest. Team 2 (Théo, Ike, Harry and Noah) made a very respectable score of 6 over par for their 9 holes. Team 1 (Louis, Jasper, Alfie and Oscar) tied with Team 3 (Bo, Quincy, Zakk and Rory) with both teams managing an excellent 4 over par. Both teams managed chip-in birdies to keep the scores tied.

A sudden death playoff ensued and was won by team 1 with the final putt! A dramatic conclusion to an excellent afternoon of golf.
