MOLD Golf Club had a hat-trick of reasons to celebrate when Luke Jackson was unveiled as their new boys captain.
Rising star Luke, 16, from Nannerch, drove into office and then toasted clubmate Adam Tuft, along with Padeswood & Buckley Golf Club’s James Moore, for their selections to the Wales Under 16s squad.
The call-ups came hot on the heels of the news that Mold’s junior section has been awarded the Golf Development Wales Club Accreditation Higher Award, making it one of the best in the country.

THERE are three Wrexham players in the North Wales Boys team for their annual match against NARWALS at Conwy today and Prestatyn have two in the men’s team to play Cheshire at Upton-by-Chester on Saturday.
Gareth Evans, who is in the Welsh under-18 squad, is joined in the North Wales team by his Wrexham clubmates James Morgan and Rhodri Fieldhouse, who are both in the national U16 squad.
There are three other U16 squad members in the side, Rhys Tecwyn Jones of Pwllheli, Michael Evans of Clays and Liam Reed of Holywell.
Llion Lloyd Kerry from Royal St David’s is the only other U18 squad member in the 10-strong team, which has been training under Golfing Union of Wales coach Iain Runcie at Clays over the winter.
Arron Williams and Mark Davies are the Prestatyn players in the 12-strong side to face Cheshire, which is captained by Karl Lurz of Mold.
New Caernarfonshire captain Marco Spacone from the North Wales club is named along with other stalwarts Steve Merrill of Wrexham and Jason Snead of Old Padeswood.

Jackson was in the Welsh team that won the tournament at Forester Park in Dunfermline last year, and in the U15, U16 and U18 Home Internationals squads. He also won the North Wales men and youths championships at Nefyn.
