Dear parents! Dear kids!
Austrian Boys & Girls
From June 19 to 21, the highlight of the season took place at Colony Club Gutenhof with the Austrian Boys & Girls (Austrian Youth State Championships).
10 players from Schönborn Castle Golf Club took part. Of those who made the cut after 2 days, they were all at the forefront.
We were able to record 2 state champion titles, 2 vice state champion titles and a 3rd and 4th place each in the end.
With the U12 girls was Samira Petek Once again in a class of its own. With rounds of +7, +3 and +12, she confidently won the state championship title with 14 strokes ahead of the next rival.
In the U12 boys category, as is so often the case, there was a head-to-head race over 3 days between Matteo Kaipel and Benjamin Al-Khaffaf. With rounds of +9, +9 and +8, Matteo was finally crowned state champion by 2 strokes ahead of Benjamin (+14, +7, +8), who thus secured the double victory for Schönborn as vice state champion. Felix Neffe With a 4th place, another great result was achieved.
It couldn't be more exciting than with the U16 boys. Stephan Csöngei (Par, +2, -2) was intercepted as the leader on the last 4 holes by his closest pursuer with 4 birdies in series and then had to jump off. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side here. His opponent was able to make a birdie from approx. 8 meters, Stephan played the par and thus became vice state champion.
In the U21 girls, his sister got herself Alessandra Csöngei The bronze medal with rounds of +2, +3 and +13.

Samira Petek won the U12 girls' classification here with rounds of +13 and +6 with an equal advantage of 22 strokes.
It was already much closer with the U12 boys. After a long injury break, Matteo Kaipel (+4, +4) only on the last hole with a one-shot advantage in an AJGT. Benjamin Al-Khaffaf (+5, +9), who won 2 AJGTs this year, finished third.
