HIGGINBOTTOM RECOGNISED AS ONE OF OUR BEST YOUNG GOLFERS

Charlestown’s Jake Higginbottom has been rewarded for another great year on the golf course, by retaining his place in the Australian junior squad for 2011.

It gives the 17-year-old access to the full array of sports sciences, as well as various camps and events in Australia and overseas.

Higginbottom is preparing for a busy January where he’ll compete at the Master of the Amateurs tournament in Melbourne, before playing in the Lake Macquarie and New South Wales amateurs.
