JACK ON COURSE FOR THE BIG SHOW
Could a 7-year-old local prodigy become Australia's next superstar golfer?
When you're seven Years old you don't bother limbering up. Practice swings? Also superfluous. With precisely zero ado Jack uses his 8-iron to knock a dozen balls high and true into the near distance. The and at contact - a crisp thwack - indicates this Mona Vale lad plays at a level incompatible with someone who is the same age as Prince George.
