COUNTRY TEAMS

Congratulations to the team from North Eastern District for their win in Division 1 of the Country Teams competition.  They were unbeaten in their four matches.   Well done to our MPDWG team (photo above), narrowly beaten into third place by South Western, 15 1/2 games to 15.  Our team played 36 holes on each of the first two days in conditions varying from calm and sunny to wet and windy, on two excellent courses at Long Island and Cranbourne.   We have had two wins, a tied match on Tuesday afternoon against South Western, and we lost 4 1/12 - 2 1/2 to the very strong North Eastern team.     Our team had some great wins, and played some wonderful golf.   We thank them for their involvement and enthusiasm.  Thank you to our non-playing captain Helen Hall, to selectors Sandy Johnson and Ronnie Ferguson, team representative Sue Semmens, and all the players and caddies.
