Published - 4 weeks By - PGA Media 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.
