Young Golfers Swing For Success At 2025 Karrie Webb Junior Masters

Junior golfers from across Queensland descended on Ayr Golf Club on Saturday, the 8th of November  for one of the region’s most anticipated junior tournaments, the 2025 Karrie Webb Junior Masters! With more than 90 competitors travelling from Brisbane, Hervey Bay, Yeppoon, Cairns and North Queensland, the event once again proved to be a standout showcase of emerging golfing talent.

The Burdekin’s own national golf legend Karrie Webb attended across the weekend, much to the excitement of young players who relished the opportunity to compete on a pristine course and meet one of the sport’s greatest ambassadors.

Ayr Golf Club organiser Evelyn Webb and her dedicated team were praised for delivering another successful and highly competitive event.

Many thanks to Evelyn Webb and her team at the Ayr Golf Club on yet another successful and hugely competitive Karrie Webb Junior Masters. Along with Karrie in attendance all weekend, we hope it was a wonderful two days for all,” said Ayr Golf Club’s Laura Mahoney.

“Thank you to all competitors, parents and family’s for travelling to our great little club to play and enjoy some awesome golf.”

The event followed last week’s strong turnout at the October Monthly Medal, where 19 juniors teed up in preparation for the major tournament ahead. With energy high and recent play sharpening their skills, the stage was set for a stellar Masters weekend.
