SENIOR CLUB TEAM CHALLENGE 2011 OVERVIEW


Once again our club was represented in the Senior Club Teams Challenge an event sanctioned and run by Golf Queensland. It’s the 4th year we have participated in this event along with 17 other clubs from the greater Brisbane area. We were represented in Division 2 which included Brisbane, Indooroopilly, Virginia, Pacific and Wynnum. All of these Clubs have a proud tradition when it comes to match play.

It is with great pride I report our guys excelled. We started the season with 3 good results, a draw against Wynnum and wins against Pacific and Indooroopilly. The win against Indooroopilly at home (4 ½ to 1 ½)  was a great day for the boys, as Indooroopilly along with Brisbane, were equal favourites to take the ‘lollies’ in our division

Unfortunately for us that win ‘got the attention’ of Virginia and Brisbane and when they played us they rolled out their ‘big guns’ and on each occasion gave us a bit of a touch up. Gee it’s great to know this bunch of  “old farts” still have the power to incite fear in the minds of our opposition.

From our early success we lost our next 3 matches, away games at Virginia, Wynnum and Indooroopilly, however the following 2 matches were good for the boys – 5 and 1 win over Pacific and 3 all draw against Virginia - excellent results.

We played our final match Thursday 7th against Brisbane at home. The boys went into the match confident we could come away with a win and they didn’t disappoint – we won 3 ½ to 2 ½ a fantastic result as Brisbane dished out our worst loss of the season when we played them at home. Many thanks to everyone who took the time to support us in our final game.

Our guys represented the club with pride and the team finished 4th which is a great result considering the level of competition.

Personally I thank everyone who participated and gave their time so willingly to represent the Club. I am sure I can speak for the team in saying we look forward to next year’s Challenge.

The guys who represent the club were: John Eagleton, John Fletcher, Tony Squires, Peter Monks, Ron Carr, Jim Tarlinton, Garry Waugh, Col Truswell, Ron Gould, Andrew Maxwell, Errol Zagami, Bruce Colvin and Kerry Cooper
