In our annual match against the Lower North Coast DGA the Newcastle DGA Representative Team had an easy victory 9.5 to 2.5 at Taree GC on Sunday October
16.
Each team consisted of 6 Seniors and 6 Juniors and each year we play for the Les Evitt Cup in Seniors and the Challenge Cup for Juniors.
The Juniors were outstanding, winning 5.5 to 0.5, with most matches resulting in a comfortable margin win.
The only drawn match in the Juniors involved our Luke Ferrier against State Junior and Australian Schools Team member Reid Brown. Despite a shaky
start and being 4 down after 7, Luke fought back to be leading 1 up on the 18th tee. Despite this fightback he went on to lose the 18th to a
birdie and thus halve an excellent match at No.1 position.
The Seniors won their Division by 4 matches to 2. with wins to Capt Greg McMillan, Ben Hillard, Isaiah Melia and Michael Musgrave. The
2 losses were attributed to a dodgy prawn consumed in a shared meal on Saturday night.
The weather was perfect for golf and Taree GC was in very good condition. Consequently a good weekend was had by all.
