FOURTEEN-year-old Bishop Druitt College (BCU) student Milla Adamson has made golf history, becoming the youngest ever Bonville Golf Club Champion.
Ms Adamson produced two days of exceptional golf, carding a 3-over-par on Day 1 and 4-over-par on Day 2 to secure the championship title.
Her victory marks the culmination of a year of hard work and steady improvement, supported by her family, her mentors, and Bishop Druitt College’s High Performance Program and Golf Academy.
“Milla is an outstanding role model, not only for our aspiring golfers, but for all young girls who might be inspired to give golf a go after seeing her success,” said Natalie Titcume, Head of High Performance and Academies at Bishop Druitt College and the 2023 Bonville Club Champion.
Ms Titcume was amongst Ms Adamson’s competition on the day as one of the final seeded top four from the field including defending champion Christine Clarke (also Milla’s mentor) and Adrienne Smith of Sunny Corner Pastures.
Ms Adamson said she was thrilled to take out the Bonville Ladies Championship title.
“I am so excited to have won the Bonville Ladies Championship.
“It’s shown me that hard work really does pay off and it’s given me a big boost of confidence for the future.
“I remember watching Steph Kyriacou win the Bonville Ladies Classic back in 2020 when I was just eight years old, and she really inspired me.
“To now win on the same course feels pretty special.”
Paying tribute to “an incredible support network”, she said the Golf Academy at Bishop Druitt College gave her the chance to play more golf and get in extra practice, which helped improve her game over the past two years.
“Being part of the High Performance Program has also been a huge help – it supports me with strength and conditioning, mentoring, nutrition and overall athlete development.
“My sponsor, Guzman Y Gomez, has made it possible for me to attend more tournaments and travel all over NSW, which has been amazing.
“I can’t wait to see what the future brings.”
The BDC Golf Academy, one of several specialist academies within the program, nurtures talented young golfers through structured coaching, competition experience, and community partnerships with organisations such as Bonville Golf Resort.
