A rising star in the making, 14 year old Jerred Giaut is no stranger around the Madang Golf Country Club and at the same time, the Giaut is no pushover come time to tee off on the Golf Course.
Jerred is the last of 5 siblings born into a family of golfers, meaning his whole life growing up was all about golf.
He joined the Club in Madang around 2017 but it wasn’t until later on when he really put himself into the sport.
“I joined in 2017 and then left and started playing around 2020.”
The young man said he initially started going to the club to spend time there with his family to pass time and during his visits, he along with brother Marshall developed a love for the sport.
“I love the game because it challenges you to pay full attention to every shot you want to make. It’s a game that takes patience and concentration.”
Sometimes in sport, it is a beautiful thing to see siblings pit themselves against each other in a competition, and when asked if he sometimes went up against his brother, the response from the young man was not a surprise there.

“Usually siblings like competing against each other so, he plays very well. Sometimes he wins, sometimes I win.”
Currently, he is the champion of the 12-14 year division at the club, a feat in which indicates the depth of talent in the young lad.
With Madang Golf Country Club to host a Tournament next month, Jerred is unsure if he will be taking part in it because this month has been reserved for the members to renew membership and he is pursuing studies here in Port Moresby, but one things for sure, the young man is blessed with talent.
