SA - 12 & Under School Golf - Stage 1 Country Qualifying - Southern- Barker & Hills - Echunga GC
1st June 2022
(Published in SGG newsletter June 3rd 2022)
Thank you to all who took part in this qualifying event. Congratulations to the top 5 players who are eligible
to advance to the State-wide playoff.
Thank you to Echunga GC for providing the venue, also to Allan Telford (Golf Australia) and Esther and
Jamie Burt who devoted their time to run the event.
As usual for the primary schools events, the participants warmed up with a 90 minute skills session, had
some lunch and then played the 9-hole (max 150m modified course) competition in the afternoon.
Results:
Harrison Burt (Littlehampton Primary School) 39
Brock Bezzina (Echunga Primary School) 47
William Burt (Littlehampton Primary School) 48
Sophie Membrey (St Mark's Lutheran School Mount Barker) 59
Dante Stubbs (Littlehampton Primary School) 59
Leroy Doeltgen (Meadows Primary School) participated but unfortunately failed to qualify.
Given that he had only tried golf for the first time 6 days earlier, Leroy put up an outstanding performance.
Esther and Jamie Burt met Leroy when they visited the Meadows school on what was the first day of a 5
week golf coaching program being funded through the sporting schools grants funding initiative.
If anyone wants to know more about Golf Australia’s involvement with the sporting schools grant initiative
and would like to encourage/help their local school apply to participate, more information is available here
