Regional Junior Champion Luke Ferrier with LNCDGA Captain, David Bagust.
The 2017 NSW Zone 2 Regional Championships were held over the weekend of August 19/20 at Taree GC.
Zone 2 consists of the 4 Districts – Central Coast, Hunter River, Lower North Coast and Newcastle.
The weather was difficult for good golf – with strong gusty wind and cold conditions on Saturday – and still cold and only slightly less wind on the Sunday.
The NDGA consisted of 20 players, after Brayden Petersen’s withdrawal at the last minute due to injury and they all performed very creditably.
Our best result was when Luke Ferrier was named as the 2017 Regional Junior Champion by 4 strokes with a 36 hole score of 147.
Luke Ferrier was also our best performed overall – coming 5th overall. Next best was Mick Coutman 7th on 149, Michael Wade 8th on 150, Josh Greenwood
T17th on 155, Junior rosh Robards T20th on 156, Junior Reece Green T25th with Robert Smythe on 159, Michael Musgrave T29th on 160.
Another notable performance was from our 12 year old Junior, Brij Ingrey who improved 10 strokes to record a very good 76 on the Sunday.
In the Masters Division – the winner had 156 – with Robert Smythe T4th on 159 and Michael Musgrave 6th on 160.
In the Junior Division – Luke had 147 – with Josh Robards 6th on 156, Reece Green 7th on 159 and Brij Ingrey T9th on 162.
In the Team competition, the Jim Baker Shield, the winning team was from the Newcastle DGA, despite the Central Coast being announced the winners at the
Presentation.
