FINAL ROUND
Sunday the 11th March our Division 3 Public Course Pennant team played in the final at Mount Barker against Regency Park.
The contest was close all through the day but in the end we came up short. The match score was 4 all but we were defeated on holes won, 13 to 12.
We were leading the completed matches 4 to 3 with John O'Connor still on the course playing the last hole. His opponents shot into the final green was high, wide and well short of the green crashing into the tall trees. As he turned his back on his errant shot, the ball took a remarkable ricochet landing in the middle of the green. John played a great shot into the green pin high just left of the flag but it wasn't quite enough to get the team across the line.
Individual Results
Greg Forrest lost 2/1
Peter Adams won 5/4
Paul Moretti lost 5/3
Dave Harrington won 4/3
Peter Mayboroda lost 4/3
John O'Connor lost 2 down
Frank Ballard won 1 up
Luke Air won 2/1
ROUND 6
Sunday 4th March, the final minor round of Public Course Pennant was played. Both Division 1 and Division 3 played Regency Park at North Adelaide with Division 1 finishing all square 4 matches each and Division 3 winning 4 1/2 matches to 3 1/2 matches.
Division 1 finished the season with 2 wins, 3 losses and 1 half, a very creditable result considering the inexperience of the team with several players playing pennant golf for the first time. Hopefully the players enjoyed the experience of playing within a team environment and will continue to improve next year.
Division 3 finished the season with 4 wins and 2 losses and will play Regency Park in the final next Sunday 11th March at Mount Barker at 8.00am. It should be a good contest as the two matches between the sides this year were close results with the home team victorious on each occasion. Good luck to all the players involved.

ROUND 1 - Sunday 28th January was the start of the new season of public course pennant. This year NAGC has a team in division 1 for the first time and a team in division 3 where we were victorious last year.
Both teams played at home and were both successful in winning.
Division 1 won 5.5 matches to 2.5 matches.
Division 3 won 4.5 matches to 3.5 matches.
On what was a very hot and tiring day both teams had numerous players representing our club for the first time.
My congratulations to all of them.
