Golf Report

Saturday 26 October 2024

We were fortunate to enjoy some fantastic weather for Golf once again this week, setting the scene for some great matches and impressive individual performances.

Our Matchplay team travelled to North Turramurra Golf Course to take on Knox 1. This fixture was expected to be challenging, as Knox boasts some very talented players within their programme. However, this also provided an invaluable learning experience for our team members: Lachlan Kwan, Luke Ellis, Matthew Goddard, and Archie Frewin.

All four matches were incredibly close, with lead changes creating an exciting atmosphere throughout the afternoon. Ultimately, we secured an important 2.5 to 1.5 victory. Luke Ellis finished A/S in a nail-biting draw, Matthew Goddard clinched his match 2 and 1, and Archie Frewin emerged victorious with a 1-up win. Our top seed, Lachlan Kwan, played well but faced a tough opponent and went down 4 and 3.

Meanwhile, at Northbridge, the rest of the team competed in the Members Saturday Competition. The pace of play was excellent, with the first group of Tom Gocher, Barron Setsu, and Malachi Warner completing their round in just over 3 hours. A special mention goes to Kaya Macpherson, who scored an outstanding 41 points, and Christian Liu, who delivered a strong round with 37 points.

Looking ahead, Shore will host in the Matchplay competition for the first time next week, welcoming St Aloysius and both Knox teams to our home course. We’re excited to see our team take on this new challenge and continue their strong form!
