Primary School Golf Tournament - Qualifying Rounds

Orbost GC 1st March or Lakes Entrance GC 2nd March

This event is aimed to encourage students of any ability, both beginner and experienced, to get out on the course and have a go at golf. The event and course is modified to suit the primary aged student with all holes shortened and equipment available to borrow.

To be eligible to play students must be enrolled in grades 3, 4, 5 or 6 at a School Sport Victoria member school. The event consists of three stages: division events, region finals and the state final.

In both the division and region events the students will play 9 holes on a short course. Those who qualify for the state final will play 18 holes on a shortened course.

Country Girls Play Golf will play their first game of the season on Saturday, 6th February @ the South Pines GC. Tee off from 9.30am

CGPG is a concept driven by Tania Holmes of the South Pines GC who identified the need for events to be played on weekends for those women who couldn’t normally play mid week events due to work commitments.

The events are stroke events and referred to as a ‘monthly medal’. Played monthly and the venues are spread around various courses within Golf East Gippsland.

Entry is NOT restricted to working women, and all ladies are welcomed and encouraged to participate so as to enhance the game of golf and to forge new friendships through golf.

If you have any further queries please contact Tania on 0439 658 070 or follow Country Girls PG on their facebook page. (See view details for the link)
