Rd2 with a score of even NETT gave her overall girls handicap runner up.

To those boys who have reached their age limit for 2026, SWGA would like to thank them for their dedication to representing golf in our District.

This Junior Country Team Event is healthy and gives courses like Heathcote an opportunity  to showcase what golf is all about.

The hospitality provided by Heathcote was amazing with smiling faces as evidence.  Volunteer based clubs need support from all golfers an appreciate hosting events.

We hope GA continues to support these junior regional events in future.

2026 will bring the event down to Terang in the Western District.
