It's raining aces here at SAJG! Local member Archie Nankivell recorded his first hole in one in the recent Primary Schools event at Sunshine Golf Club on July 20th.
Archie used a hybrid to cover the 106m sixth hole at Sunshine and only found out about his ace as he approached the green on the uphill par 3.
Only 2 weeks ago Ben Lawlor hit the perfect shot also. We look forward to hearing about the next hole in one soon!
Mitch Sheather has claimed his maiden victory in the race to the 2010 Regional Series Cup. Sheather, a talented +1 marker from Long Island Country Club, is scoring points fast in his bid to represent SAJG at the Jack Newton International. He had to chip in on the last for birdie to fight off Brendan Lewis (Yarrawonga) and earn himself 1500 Cup points.
Kenneth Lee (The Heritage), Luke White (Jubilee) and Will Garner (Beaconhills) took divisional honours. Many thanks to Jubilee Golf Club for being fabulous hosts, which included on-site reporting by regional television and print media! All participants enjoyed great hospitality and a tip or two as part of the junior clinic, lead by SAJG's Ashley Marshall and Jubilee junior coordinator Rob Chuck.
