Yuuki Takada, demon driver!

Meet Yuuki Takada, one of our outstanding elite Junior golfers. Yuuki joined Southport last year and has been a regular feature around the practise areas and on the course. This year her GA handicap has dropped from 2.1 to -3! Slight in build, Yuuki has incredible power and accuracy and her drive is the envy of most members, male & female alike! Yuuki is becoming well known around Queensland and Australia in Junior circles. During COVID-19 restrictions, she broke the Women’s course record by two strokes, but it couldn’t be ratified as bunkers weren’t in play! We are sure her time will come again! A very relaxed, friendly young lady with a great sense of humour, Yuuki has great potential for the future. She is dedicated to her studies and popular in the Junior community at Southport. Keep up the great work, Yuuki!
