Becky Kay - 13 years old - Ladies Champion and a future star!

24 Nations will be competing in the Youth Olympics in Sydney in January 2013. Golf Australia has selected 13 year old CTHGC Member - Becky Kay to represent Australia in a 72 hole stroke event at Twin Creeks Golf Club.  The Australian team will compete against teams from Argentina, Japan, Korea, China NZ, GB and Chinese Taipei.  The games will encompass an opening ceremony and all the teams will reside in the Olympic Village.  A great experience for her and all the other competitors.


Becky came 7th at the Aaron Baddeley Australian Championships held at the Heritage Golf Club in Melbourne.   She recently competed in the Jack Newton International in Newcastle and came 2nd in the under 14’s and 8th overall in a very strong field including teams from the USA and NZ. 

Becky has also been invited to the launch day of the Future State Greats Program at Royal Pines and this will involve a round of golf with Australian cricket legend Ian Healy.   She has also won an award for Athlete of Year in the golf Program at the Gold Coast Academy of Sport.

Golf Australia has invited Becky to be one of 5 golfers from Queensland to attend the National Camp at Moonah Links next month as a future National squad member.  The camp is for adults, not just for the under 18’s.  They hold educational sessions with guest speakers in preparation for life as a professional golfer, she will have access to a number of Golf Australia service providers as well as National Coaches and will attend Day 3 of the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath. 

Congratulations Becky on these tremendous achievements and we all wish you good luck for a very exciting future.
