Belmont Golf Club was the venue for the Annual match for the Artie Mollett Shield, played on Sunday, June 2 between the Representative teams from the Central
Coast and Newcastle DGA’s.
Despite 35mm of rain on Saturday and overnight – Belmont GC was in excellent condition and with the wind speed dropping to near zero and only a light shower
of rain – provided great conditions for golf.
The format for this event was 6 x Seniors plus 4 x Colts plus 6 x Juniors. and Newcastle regards this match as their benchmark for the year – with the
Central Coast normally providing the closest competition across all categories..
Last year at Wyong GC, the Newcastle DGA team recorded a very close win by 1 point. This year the result was more decisive with Newcastle DGA winning
by a margin of 12 to 4.
The Seniors played solid winning with a margin of 4.5 to 1.5. 4 Players having 3&1 or 3&2 wins. The Colts category recorded a
3 to 1 margin win with 4&3 or 3&1 being common scores.

win.
