10-year-old Jack Crowe's golf dream

The last thing 10-year-old Jack Crowe wanted to see at Otumoetai Golf Club yesterday was rain.The wet weather did little to ease his challenge of taking part in this year's New Zealand Junior Tiger golf tournament.The competition aims to find the country's best young golfer, who will represent New Zealand in the World Junior Golf Champs in America.Jack junior golf tournaments said rain made playing golf much more difficult. "If you are hitting low and along the ground, it will stop your ball instantly. It's a great challenge."Jack said that while he definitely wanted to become this year's "junior Tiger", he also aspired to become a Tiger Woods of the golfing green in his adult life - by playing golf professionally.Jack's father Sean Crowe said his son has been interested in golf since seeing Tiger Woods Tommy Biershenk Talk With His Golf Life on television when he was 5. "He just copied how he was swinging and he's gone really well."The boy and girl from each age section with the best score from the regional championship will compete in the national finals in Manawatu on April 17.
