Junior Pennant News
The Blue team faced Keysborough who had only lost 1/2 a point from the first 2 matches. Josh Gong won his match 7/6 and Elbert Kim was rock solid winning 6/5. Eric Zhuang and Lachlan Snart both came up against strong opponents and whilst both boys played to their handicap it wasn’t quite enough on the day. Michael Yuen led all day and closed out his match on the 16th giving Riversdale a 3 – 2 lead. Nick Horvath was the last player on course and after building a strong lead thru 9 was then faced with a spirited fight back from his opponent. After a nice 5 wood to the front of the 17th green, Nick played a beautiful chip that rolled gentle into the cup to secure the win. The win gives the Blue team an outside chance of still making the finals. John Horvath. And what do you do after a Pennant Game? You practice your putting. The White Team Congratulations to all players in our match against Woodlands last Sunday. Although we were not successful losing 4/2, all players put in great efforts and we were unlucky in a couple of matches that could have gone our way. Well done to Zane winning 4/3 with Amy and Noah halving their matches. The positive sportsmanship was very obvious in all matches and all players are a credit to themselves, parents and Riversdale Arthur Loughridge The Gold Team Great win last Sunday again led by Captain Tyler, who was able to make his winning speech.

Playing The Course
Members are welcome to accompany their children or grandchildren (under 18 years) on the course any day of the week after 4pm.
Some things to consider when promoting the game to juniors:
- Have fun – don’t worry about results.
- Tee the ball up on the fairway.
- Play shorter holes – from the ladies markers or the start of the fairway.
- Play Ambrose or other fun variations of the game
- Teach basic rules and ettiquete – i.e. carry sand buckets, where to stand, courtesy to other players, pace of play etc.
