Exciting young prospect, Riley Millers, has been on the golfing radar on the Coast for a couple of years now but he has also caught the eye of the Combined Schools selectors and been chosen to represent in the NSW team to play in Victoria late this year.
Riley currently plays out of Magenta Shores (one of the easiest courses on the Coast eh) where his current handicap is 7. Yes,7 aged 12 and at Magenta. This surely is a great indication of things to come.
Riley is a delightful young man and a credit to his parents. There always seems to be a smile on his face and he was an integral part of the CCDGA team that contested the annual Junior 4 Way tournament at Wingham over the weekend of November 3 & 4. The team finished a close second to Hunter River DGA and, but for the bounce of the ball the Shield might well have resided on the Coast for the next 12 months.
If you get a chance to watch Riley play a few holes go for a wander, he will be behind the buggy (he stands barely taller than the handle) coming down the middle of the fairway.
Congratulations Riley on your selection to play for the State Schools team and good luck in Victoria.
