SANCHEZ BURNS UP THE COURSE & TRINCA CLAIMS NEW TURF!
The Term 1 U16's Classic was all thrills once again, with 11 year old Matias Sanchez (Sandhurst) burning up the testy par 3 layout, shooting an incredible 2 under par to claim his 7th successive victory in this event!!!!!!!
14 year old Abbey Trinca (The Sands Torquay) claimed new turf, winning her first U16's Classic in style, by 3 shots from defending champ 10 year old Danielle Hu.
There were plenty of smiles in all the age divisions, with many winning for the first time. The Australian Pitch & Putt course at Mulgrave was again a tremendous venue for this extremely popular event.
The 2009 Rookie Series Final has been won by 9 year old Marcus Foote (Boys Champion) from Trafalgar GC with a score of 45.

Well done to all competitors on the day and thank you to Riversdale GC who's golf course was beautifully presented on the day and also for their continued support of junior golf.
The first Regional Series event has been played at Churchill Park GC, with talented Kingswood junior Bianca Ling taking out the gross honours. Bianca banks 1500 points as a result and leads the overall standings.

The 7th annual SAJG Signature Tournament has will once again be played at the magnificent Heritage Golf and Country Club.
The tournament will be played on Sunday, November 21 and will once again feature the Victorian Junior Long Drive competition, which couldn't be held in 2009 due to the weather conditions.
