Monday March 1 saw the first SACCSS event for 2021, with the Junior Golf day at Melbourne Airport Golf Club. Students showed how keen they were with early morning training sessions at school before we settled on team line ups. Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs entered a full team with 3 pairs competing in Pairs and Individual events across 9 holes.
All students represented the College with pride and showed outstanding golf etiquette in supporting their teammates and fellow competitors. Results were strong among all our students with our pairs finishing 3rd, 4th and 6th in the pairs competition.
Individually Alexander Mckenzie (10 Kulin) and Zachary Cotter (8 Marin Kurrang) both tied for 3rd in the Boys Competition with a score of 54. Mikayla Puli (8 Kororoit) finished runner up for the Girls with a score of 63 and Tiana Baba (10 Lingiari) came 3rd with a score of 74. We also finished runner up in the overall Teams Competition with a margin of just one stroke separating us from first.
Individual scores have now been submitted to Golf Victoria and we eagerly await to see which of our students will be invited to attend the Independent Golf Tournament at Long Island Golf Course in Term 2.
