 Toni Lucas - Two young men from the Pincher Creek area did very well at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tournament held at the Paradise Canyon Golf Resort in Lethbridge on May 3 and 4. The competition was stiff, with 115 contenders from western Canada competing in four categories. Brayden Provost scored 169 for 7th place, and 12 year old Ethan Choi earned the Championship with a score of 149. Both Choi and Provost competed in Bantam Boys.

Both boys are members in good standing at the Pincher Creek Golf Course and play Men's League. They attend St. Michael's School.  Both of them felt that they could have done better at the tournament, saying cold wet weather played against them having their best game.

 Provost enjoys putting, and feels that tournaments are "A good experience. I get to learn a lot."

Choi is currently working at the Pincher Creek Golf Course as a ball boy. He said tournaments are a good place to make new friends. "It's fun because you get to practice and compete with other Juniors."

The two are looking forward to the rest of the golf tournament season and plan on competing in the Maple Leaf Junior Tour Bow Valley Credit Union Classic and Team Canada Qualifier at Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course, to be held on May 24 and 25.
