GolfWA enews

Hello once again from GolfWA.
Winter may not be here yet, but golf's winter season is certainly underway! There's plenty happening all over the state in both club and pennant competitions, so make sure you check out our events and fixtures page to see what great events you could be playing.

Rules Corner: Infinite Loop

In this week's Rules Corner we get completely stumped on what appears to be a very simple Rules enquiry.
Partners share a driver during a round of 4BBB Par, only to find out at the end of the round that this was a rules violation. What is the penalty?
Seems simple right? It's not. Click here, but tread carefully!

An incredible streak continues!

We might only be up to Round 5 of our Women's Pennant competition, but we should take a moment to reflect on what has been (and may continue to be) an incredible winning streak by Lake Karrinyup.
Today is the 27th of May, which marks the three year anniversary since their last loss against Royal Fremantle in Round 2 of 2013.
There's still plenty of golf to come, including a final. Read more about the streak here, and see how your club is faring on our Pennants page.

Hartfield go back to back!

Speaking of streaks, Hartfield Country Club is working on their own after winning their second straight Men's Senior Individual Pennant title on a thrilling final day at Lake Karrinyup.
Congratulations Hartfield! Read about the final round here.
We'll have more big news to come on Monday with the finals of the Men's Senior teams pennants competition taking place at Lakelands and Royal Fremantle. Click here to see the draw.

Kiran Day enters links mode

Cottesloe Golf Club’s Kiran Day starts his UK adventure tonight, when he tees off at the Scottish Strokeplay. While he's there he'll also contest the St Andrews Links Trophy, The Amateur Championship and qualifying for The Open.
It's his second straight year of playing these events, and he says he's feeling better prepared to handle the tricky links courses and tough conditions.

Enter the Srixon Junior Championships

This year's Srixon Junior takes us to the lovely Mount Lawley Golf Club, where our (very young) defending Champions Maddison Hinson-Tolchard, 14, and Fred Lee, 16, will look to go back to back.
It's a great event with juniors of all ages with a GA handicap eligible to play, click here to enter.

Get your child into golf!

The Smarter than Smoking MyGolf Tour is continuing to grow the game at the junior level, catering for children at the Year 8 level and below and helping them progress up into club golf.
