Dundas golfers have solid opening

Two Dundas Valley Golf Club members started the Ontario Golf Association Mid-Amateur Championship with solid opening rounds, Tuesday.

James Boose shot an even par 72, while Brett Wilkinson shot a two over par 74 at Loyalist Country Club in Bath, Ontario - west of Kingston - to finish the first of three rounds tied for fourth and 14th respectively.

Boose's par round left him just three strokes behind the first round leader. He appeared to favour the back nine, picking up birdies on holes 10, 12, 13 and 17 while suffering bogeys on holes 2, 6, 7 and 16. At 25 years of age, he is the youngest competitor in the top 10 after the opening round.

Play continues Wednesday and Thursday.
