NDGA Junior Pennant set to begin in April (Updated 17 April)

Recent weather patterns have left a couple of our venues with insufficient opportunity and time to prepare the course (particularly mowing of rough) – suitable for a junior event. After lengthy deliberation and with much disappointment it has been decided to postpone all 3 rounds of the 2022 NDGA Junior Pennants. These had been scheduled for Tuesday April 19 at Waratah GC; Wednesday April 20 at Muree GC and Thursday April 21 at Horizons GC.

Whilst it must be understood that there are very limited opportunities during the year’s program – we do intend to attempt to hold a junior pennant series – probably in October. Entry forms will be re-sent to Clubs when details confirmed

NSW Country Junior Invitational

Developing junior boys and girls from our district were invited to this inaugural event held in conjunction with the Vintage Foundation on January 24/25 2022 at the Vintage Golf Club. Laana New from Charlestown GC and 6 boys from Newcastle clubs made up our district team. For the 2 days juniors played Stableford format and were partnered by members from the Vintage Golf club. Very generous individual and team trophies were presented at the conclusion of the event.

Laana won an individual event and together with Declan Gordon from Waratah won the district trophy for the best boy and girl combined results. Congratulations to Laana on her excellent achievement. It is intended to continue this very successful event with hopefully 2 boys and 2 girls from each of the 18 regional districts to participate.

NSW Amateur Championships

After winning our District Championships, Amy Squires represented the NHDLGA at the 2022 Amateur Championships held at Wollongong and Shellharbour from January 24 - 27. Amy had a great experience playing in this event for the first time. The conditions were tough but she was happy with her rounds of 75 and 77. Sadly she missed the cut by 4 shots but had the best time. Amy is very appreciative of our district support and sends heartfelt thanks. Congratulations and well done Amy.
