Amazing effort on Sunday from our juniors who finished the season with a 5 nil victory over Lake Karrinyup. The team turned strongly with 3 matches up at the turn and 2 matches in the balance.
Anais played solid tee to green from the first hole and after turning 5 up, got her round to Dormie 6 after 12 holes. Giving a shot on 13 she lost that hole with both parring well. She followed on the par 5 14th, putting her second 40m in front of the green, hit her wedge stone dead, and with a tap in birdie, closed out her match 6 and 4.
Patrick was next in with another resounding win and another stellar year. Patrick lost the first hole with a 3 putt bogie, only to then to birdie 2 and 3 on his way to a 9 hole lead of 4 up. He closed out at 5 & 4, finishing his season with wins in every game.
Oscar was dormie 1 teeing it up on 18 and smashed a 275m drive to the front of the last hole at Mandurah. Comfortably winning this hole, giving him a final score of 2 up. Oscar also won every match this year, in his first year of matchplay!! His improvement throughout the season has been phenomenal.
Mitch at Number 1 had a slow start, and after the steam flowed internally, he got himself nicely up to dormie 4… he had the pressure mounting, losing 14 to go back to 3. On 16 lady luck looked like she was against him, hitting the stick with his pitch shot, sending his ball 15 m back almost into the bunker, he still up and downed and finished out his match 3 and 2.
Last match out there was Eli, who had been under the pump from early in the day being 3 down early, fighting back to 1 down at the turn, in the late stage of the match he again found himself 3 down with only 4 to play. What came next was Eli at his best. He won the next 3 holes, consistently applying more pressure to this opponent with solid play. Coming up 18 with his teammates and club president by his side, he drove straight and true. Playing first he knocked his second onto the green with a bit of adrenalin, it found the back bunker… Eli played a great sand shot and in the end, had 2 putts for the win. His 1up fighting come back win, was greatly received by all around the green. Eli, you weren’t the bug this week mate… you were the windscreen!!!
Special thanks to the following members who gave their time so freely and helped our kids with their matchplay games by coaching them on a Thursday evening. The insights that the team got from these sessions was clearly evident in their play, which improved week in week out.

Thankyou to the club for their continued support, use of the course and range for practice.
Thankyou to George Green for managing the team in my absence.
Thankyou to Bruce Stark for making the time to come to matches and support the team.
Patrick, Mitch and Felixe, it has been a pleasure having you as part of our team for the last 2 years, I hope to see you later this year to help the 2027 Junior team with your experience. Good luck in your future golfing pursuits, I’m sure the captain would love to hear from you about Mens pennants!!
As team manager, I couldn’t be prouder of the manner in which our juniors presented themselves every week, in every match. They all played with honour, great sportsmanship, and dignity.
Looking forward to next year already.
