On the weekend of September 14,15 the NDGA Representative team travelled to Canberra to play the ACT-Monaro DGA team for the David Wood trophy event.
The match was played at Yowani GC in perfect weather conditions – mild temperature with little or no wind.
The format of play was for teams of 16, comprising 6 x Senior, 4 x Colts, 6 x Juniors playing Fourball matchplay on the Saturday then individual matchplay
on the Sunday.
Unfortunately the NDGA team ended up with 3 players short – 1 x Colt and 2 x Juniors – with many players unavailable for various reasons and conflicts
with Clubs conducting Club Championship finals on this weekend.
ACT-Monaro supplied 3 replacements so we managaged to play the full format.
