Darin Finlayson is definitely making a strong im pression at an early age having won six Bantam tournaments in a row this summer A member of the North Halton Golf and Country Club started his string of victories by taking top spot at on July 29 and four events in between before finishing with a win at Hidden lakes in Burlington August As a warm up to the tournament wins also placed third in Ontano Bantam Cham pionships held in Ridgetown near Chatham July 22 23 There were a lot of good golfers there I ve found that the more I played and practised the better things went this year Most of the tournament wins were by one stroke but one or two were fairly easy says He explained that this season has been a busy one playing in two or three tournaments per week and practising every day on the course Since he turns 14 on June 9 said he will have to play in the Juvenile age group next year and compete against players up to the age of 16 which will make it tougher to be successful I m looking forward to seeing how 1 do since I already play with about seven or eight other guys who are around that age and I ve been doing alnght I try ing to get a scholarship at Oklahoma State which is rated number one so 1 have to show the scouts I can keep it up Finlayson also said he can wait for the North Halton club to complete its chipping practice area which is the weakest point of his game while driving off the tee is the strongest element I really don t like playing when it windy since it really throws things off It can be frustrating when you play bad so you have to concentrate on set ting goals and try to get back and play well As this season winds down Finlayson said his next goal is to win the junior championship at North Halton September 21 23 which he finished second in
