In a spectacular display of talent and tenacity, Yarra Yarra Golf Club’s very own Max Moring and Jackson Green made their mark at the prestigious NextGen Amateur Tour event at Lonsdale Links, showcasing the depth of skill and sportsmanship our club prides itself on.

Runner-up Jackson Green battled the elements and the course with equal prowess, demonstrating a masterclass in strategic conservatism and resilience, especially notable given the challenging wind conditions. His strategy of favoring iron shots over drivers underlined his adaptability and strategic thinking, culminating in a commendable 1-under par finish. Green’s mindset going into the tournament was one of patience and strategy, “The first round was very difficult because of the wind…I knew if I stayed patient…I would be in contention.”
The camaraderie between Moring and Green, especially during the final round, exemplifies the spirit of competition and fellowship that the NextGen Amateur Tour fosters among its participants. Their achievements are a testament to the tour’s mission of highlighting elite talent and supporting young golfers in their personal and professional growth.
As we celebrate Moring’s victory and Green’s strong finish, we’re reminded of the bright future of junior and youth golf at Yarra Yarra Golf Club.
