Juniors bring it home
Posted on: 30 November
Junior Golfers from six different GMGA Clubs are playing in Victorian Play at Home Pennant. Ten participants play each week at their home or another District Club and score stableford points with the six best scores to count for the team.
After the first three weeks of competition GMGA were on top of the ladder of their Region. Week Four was played over the weekend of 28 -29 November when GMGA took on Royal Melbourne Blue. Wow we did well. Our best team score, one better than the previous week. Consistent scoring in a tough weekend for golf. A couple were able to get out very early Saturday. Special thanks to those Clubs and individuals who helped arrange comps and play on Sunday
Our best six scores for the last round were James Ralph 32, Hudson Storer 38, Jacob Cartwright 38, Casey Chandler 35, Alex Booth 35, and Kohen Haddrell 38 for a team score of 216. Against this the Royal Melbourne Blue team scored 200 points; therefore giving GMGA the win and the fourth win in a row.
The GMGA Junior team maintained top spot on the ladder and although they have the bye next week, all the other teams in their Region have been defeated and so GMGA cannot lose top spot. The ladder from Golf Australia can be found under Junior Golf on our website
