Ayr’s junior golfers have celebrated a successful year on the course, with the club recognising players’ achievements at its annual presentation morning on Saturday, 7th November.
The celebrations followed a six-hole round played alongside family and friends, before juniors gathered at the clubhouse for morning tea and the presentation of awards.
Players were recognised across several categories, including monthly medals, encouragement, games played, putting and overall improvement.
Micah Kemp and Reid Statham shared the three-hole Most Monthly Medals award, while Royce Cohen took out the six-hole category. Evelyn Mahoney and Kyle Wilkie were joint winners in the nine-hole division.
Encouragement awards went to Austin Young (three holes), Zach Marchesini (six holes) and Heath Smart (nine holes).
Reid Statham recorded the most games in the three-hole division with 17 appearances, followed by Sam Pirrone in the six-hole category with 15 games and Kyle Wilkie in the nine-hole division with 12.
Putting champions were Micah Kemp (three holes), Nash Christie (six holes) and Amaya Mahoney (nine holes).
Adelle Morello was recognised as the Most Improved Golfer after progressing beyond the three-hole division in her first year of playing, while Austin Mann claimed the overall Most Improved Golfer award for 2026.
The overall results also recognised the leading performers across the season, with Evelyn Mahoney named Nett Golfer of the Year and Amaya Mahoney taking out Gross Golfer of the Year.
The remaining overall rankings, from second to ninth, were Royce Cohen, Ara Oakes, Nash Fuller, Mav Searle, Nash Christie, Reid Statham, Elijah Davis and Sam Pirrone.
Organisers thanked the juniors and their families for their involvement throughout the year, as well as Steph, Laura and Glenda for organising the presentation morning and calculating the season's results.
The junior program will take a summer break before returning in late February or March 2027, with players encouraged to continue enjoying the course during the off-season.
