Primary Schools Golf event
2nd June 2021
Stage 1 Country Qualifying
(Southern - Barker & Hills) @ Echunga
What a great day!
There were 8 boys competing in the event on Wednesday. The weather was forecast for drizzle but it ended up being sunny and absolutely picture perfect.
The morning started with Mike and Jamie taking the group through short game and then long game drills.
Following recess break, the group divided into two and took to the front 9, modified to average 150m per hole.
All players behaved with good etiquette and sportsmanship. It was very pleasing to see players that do not play regular competition golf try their best and enjoy themselves.
The winner of the day was Lockie Moyse (Mt Barker Primary) with a score of 39, followed by George Walsh (Heathfield Primary) with 41.
The top 5 players qualified for the State finals at West Beach Parks Golf, September 9 & 10 while the other players are on the reserve list.
