Corrina wins scratch event

 

New junior golfer Corrina Starkey won the Under-16 Years Scratch event in the 2002 Junior Open Cup at North Ryde Golf Club on Monday, January 14.

Corrina has only been playing golf since November and already has a handicap of 33.

Corrina comes from a family of golfers, including dad Peter and a brother and sister.

Mum Yvonne was also a golfer before a shoulder injury put her out of the game.

This promising young player started out at the end of last year in the junior clinic run by Everglades professional Darren Chivas and continued with lessons under Darren's watchful eye.

She paid for a berth in the Jack Newton sponsored camp at Narrabeen during the school holidays with money given to her for Christmas.

She won a golf bag during the course of the camp, which was an encouragement award for her efforts.

Corrina planned to continue her golf when she returned to Umina High for Year 10 this year, both as a school sport and with other juniors at Everglades during the week.

She plays mixed golf regularly on Sundays with her dad.
