Golf’s youth brigade have set another eye-popping standard through 15-year-old Billy Dowling and his even young caddie Alfie Ward at the Isuzu Queensland Open.
Dowling compiled a fine par round of 72 in Thursday’s opening round with sound course tips from 13-year-old Alfie, a Pelican Waters member who plays off a one handicap.
Dowling is no long bomber at just 48kg and regards himself as “probably the shortest hitter out here.”
What he does have is a gun short game.
He also struck the near-perfect six iron 150m on the par three 15th thanks to Alfie’s advice on club selection.

Subscriber only Billy Dowling waved off Year 11 English to teach seasoned pros a lesson at just 15 in a remarkable effort on Thursday at the Queensland Open. But as young as Dowling is, he was turning to caddie Alfie Ward for all the wisdom of his 13 years during his excellent even-par round of 72 at Pelican Waters outside Caloundra. It s hard to imagine there has ever been a younger player-caddie duo on course in a professional tournament in Australia.
