FRINTON Golf Club hosted the first event of the new AJS Energy-sponsored Coastal Tour.

The winning pair included a junior from the host club, Jamie Sach, who was partnered by Millers Barn's Jacob Lazaro.

They returned a better ball score of 45 points, which secured top spot on countback from Colne Valley duo Ralph Barker Smith and Bailee Taylor.

Third place went to another Colne Valley pair, Thomas Mead and Samuel Bruce, who scored an impressive 44 points.

There were also four juniors who played the same format over nine holes, with Cameron March (Colne Valley) and Harry Fisher (Millers Barn) returning the best score. Hopefully these juniors will progress to 18 holes before the end of this year's Tour.

Running alongside the main event is the Coastal Cubs Tour, which had 26 of the younger juniors from four venues taking part in a nine-hole team event on the Kirby Course.

Frinton showed off their strength and depth, fielding three teams.

They were clear winners and the other clubs will have to try hard to compete with them this season.

The next event of the Tour is on April 23, at Colne Valley.
