The Royal Malta Golf Club, under the auspices of the Malta Golf Federation, will be sending two of its youngest and most promising members to play in tournaments outside Malta.

Nicholas Beck will play in the Accenture Polish International Youth Tournament to be held in the Krakow Golf Club.

The competition will be a two-day 36-hole scratch medal stroke play competition to be played on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th August 2005.

A number of young golfers from America, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Hungary, South Africa as well as of course the Polish young stars will feature in the tournament.

Young Chris Bergedahl will be playing in the R&A Junior Open Competition to be held next year at the Heswall Golf Club near Liverpool. Chris will be playing in the competition’s silver division; a 3-day 54-hole scratch medal stroke play event. The R&A Junior Open attracts a high number of under 16-year olds representing all nations affiliated to the R&A who are invited to enter their leading boy and girl golfers.

Both Nicholas and Chris are regular playing members at Royal Malta and enjoy a current handicap of 8 and 9 respectively.

They have learnt the game by going through the ranks of the Junior Academy under the guidance of the club’s current resident professional – Henning Schulze-Doering.
