That performance earned the young gun a spot on the NSW Primary Schools team that will next month travel to Queensland to compete at the Australian Schools Championship.
Harry has been a member of Nelson Bay Golf Club since he was six years old.
His grandparents, Pam Cleare and John Skeoch, are also members.
Harry rates Warren Moses, the assistant golf professional at Nelson Bay, as his best coach alongside Bob Miller, his teacher and mentor with the Nelson Bay cadets program.
Harry notched up recent successes with the NSW Primary Schools Sports Association, placing second in the net competition with scores of 67 and 68 and has been chosen to be part of the Hunter Academy of Sport development program.
Nelson Bay Golf Club, via the Pat and Joan Petersen Junior Golf Foundation, provided financial support for Harry's trip to Queensland.
The championship will be held between November 9 and 13.
Harry continues to work on reducing his handicap even further as his game develops.
