The Col Johnston Shield Junior 4 Way Tournament was conducted over the weekend of Saturday, Sunday November 5,6. Merewether GC hosted this year’s
event.
Merewether GC was in very good condition, given that the 1st Round of the Club Championships was also conducted on the Saturday. The weather was
difficult for golf with strong gusty winds on Saturday and still windy on the Sunday.
The format of this event is 3 Rounds of Matchplay with District Teams for Lower North Coast, Hunter River, Central Coast and Newcastle taking part.
At the end of competition – Hunter River DGA were the winners of the Col Johnston Shield when they remained undefeated over the 3 rounds. Newcastle DGA
were a close 2nd.
All of the NDGA team showed good a attitude and resilience irrespective of the state of their matches – and this augers well for future NDGA District Junior
teams.
We were very fortunate to have Col Johnston attend the presentation, present the Shield to the Hunter River team and address the Juniors
about the benefits that can be earned and learned from golf.
