Junior Girls

Any girls interested in playing Junior Competition Golf can obtain information from their local club, or from the Dalhousie Junior Organiser, Judi Maywood, 5783 1112, judith.maywood@bigpond.com. The Women's Golf Victoria Web-site is also a very good source of information.

WGV recommends that all Junior girls playing golf in Victoria, including beginners and state level players, join the Girls Golf Network. The standard annual membership fee is $30.00, but girls who are already members of affiliated golf clubs pay only $20.00. Membership includes information updates via email from the WGV Junior Committee, including entry forms for camps, clinics and tournaments. The GGN also has a Facebook page, titled Golf Victoria - Girls Golf Network. Application forms for the Girls Golf Network can be downloaded from the Womens Golf Victoria Web-site, see above for link.

Thanks must go to Helen Flentje (Gisborne), Barb Fisher (Yea) and Liz Amos (Marysville) for their constant hard work with Juniors at their clubs.
Hidden Valley also has an excellent Junior program, the Wombats.

The 2010 Kay Mahlook Shield was held in Bendigo. Dalhousie entered one team, in Division 3 - Tylah Hodgeson (Hidden Valley), Maria Capello (Kilmore) and Emily Flavel (Euroa)

Jess Pickwick (Kilmore) came along to help. Jess's handicap of 4 was too low be in Division 3, but this is her last year as a junior, so it was great for Jess to be part of the squad

The girls play handicap match play against other districts from all over Victoria. Divisions are decided on handicaps

Day 1 we lost to Bendigo 2 1/2
Day 2 we went down to North Eastern 1/2
Day 3 we lost to Goulburn Valley 1/2

This was the very first time for Emily and Tylah playing match play. Both girls played so well, with Emily having a great 6/5 win on Day 2, and Tylah taking her matches right to the wire

Thanks to Sue Hodgeson and Jess Pickwick for their assistance.

Dalhousie held a very successful 2008 Mother/Daughter Nine-Holes day at Kilmore on Sunday 09 October.

Eleven pairs entered from Gisborne, Yea and Kilmore. All had a great time.

The winners were Laura Reinwald & Leigh Lindberg, from Gisborne, with 50. The runners-up were Stephanie & Kathy Richards, also of Gisborne, with 51.
