Golf round-up: Four Spalding GC youngsters impress at Lincoln event

A clutch of young Spalding Golf Club members had a day to remember at the LUGC Jennings and Peggotty Trophies event at Lincoln.

Jake Lilley was the boys’ nett winner, while Eden Inglis took the same prize in the girls’ competition.

Fellow Spalding ace Lois Williamson was the girls’ gross winner, while team-mate Tilly Kedzlie narrowly missed out on a prize.
