AMY Squires is a student at Tomaree High School in Year 10, she has been playing golf since she was eight-years-old and practices most days at Horizons Golf Resort.

She also has coaching sessions twice a week with Mark Ingrey.

Amy is a dedicated, high achieving student who is always happy to get involved in school activities and is an active member of the Tomaree High School Student Representative Council (SRC).

Amy recently teed off at the TPS Hunter Valley at Cypress Lakes Golf Course – a professional golf event where both women and men play together for the same prize pool.

The juniors joined the field on Sunday playing alongside the professionals, with Amy taking out third place in the juniors event.

She is hoping to secure a scholarship this year with a prominent Sydney golf club to be able to play pennants for the club and receive funding for tournaments.

Amy Squires told News Of The Area, “I love playing golf with my dad, sister, uncles and grandpa.

“Golf brings our family together for some fun.

“One day I hope to play on the pro circuit in the States or Europe,” Amy said.
