The first round of the Inter District Match Play between Downs and South Western and Gold Coast Districts was played at Coolangatta Tweed on 6th December.
The concept of this event is to provide a match play learning experience for our junior girls. Each junior girl is accompanied by a senior player who, although playing her own match, provides support and encouragement for the junior and assists with rules and etiquette when needed. The competition is a handicap match play with games to finish at the 18th.
The Downs and south Western Team comprised Darcy Habgood (Toowoomba), Tyanna Cox (Crows Nest), Paige Large (Gatton), Samantha Foley (Inglewood) and Keely Buckley (Dalby).
The results were:
Darcy Habgood (24) lost to Becky Kay (14) 4/3
Tyanna Cox (24) lost to Maddison Coster (10) 6/4
Paige Large (19) defeated Karis Davidson (6) 2/1
Samantha Foley (6) lost to Michelle Gunawai (4) 3/1
Keely Buckley (5) squared with Deedee Russell (3)
The senior players were Aliecia Freeman, Coral Walton, Laurie Didsman, Iris Thompson and Ronnie Sims.
The final round of this event will be played at the Toowoomba Golf Club on 20th February.
