A young golfer is making quite a name for himself at Elsham GC and beyond.

Callum Bruce has become one of the youngest club champions at 17 years of age in winning the title two years running.

He started playing golf at the age of eight and, realising what the sport offered young people these days, was soon setting his sights high.

“I have really been playing serious golf since I was 10 years old and playing at Normanby Hall Golf Club," he said.

"There the professional David McNicholas started coaching me and I moved to Elsham four years ago.”

McNicholas has been the pro at Elsham since then, continues to coach Callum and it is clearly a partnership that is working.

Callum has got his handicap down to plus 1 and qualified for the English Boys Under 18 Championship which was played at Broadstone near Bournemouth last month.
