event in full swing
For thousands of young Victorians, this
year’s Primary Schools Golf Event is the
highlight of their calendar.
Hart tops Queensland
Rookie of the Year
The Event is structured like a minitournament. Par 3s are 100 metres long,
while par 4 and par 5 holes measure
200 and 300 metres respectively. With
the partnership between Golf Victoria,
School Sport Victoria and the PGA of
Australia, the organisations are working
together to grow the unique event to
ensure that the first golfing experience
for all players is a memorable one.
The Middle Ridge Golf Club is proudly
staging their annual Middle Ridge ProAm on Friday 5 September 2014. For over
20 years the Club has staged this proud
event and in 2012 all the hard work paid
off, with event voted by the touring
professionals as the “PGA Tournament
of the Year”. It is now recognised as one
of Queensland’s most prestigious PGA
tournaments.
Last year, 2,700 students participated
in the event across the state at 60
different golf courses. The target for this
year’s Primary Schools Event is to attract
4,000 students.
Students from grades three to six
from around Victoria have already been
battling it out in the Regional Qualifiers
in an effort to book a place in the State
Final to be held at Kooringal Golf Club
on 1 December.
With more than 30 qualifying events
still scheduled in 2014, it’s not too late
to enter.
