Raffi is a Master at Enfield

Our very own junior member Raffi had a good result in the Hertfordshire iTour event at Enfield Golf Club last week finishing Division 2 gross runner up against a field mostly 2-3 years older than him. 

He played some great golf in windy conditions on a course that was long for him at his age/size.
