Queensland Women’s Team finish fourth
The Queensland Women’s Interstate Team were unable to secure
back-to-back wins like the Men’s team finishing fourth after struggling

Queensland to be joint winners of the Series.
Local favourites Western Australia made home town advantage count
to win the Gladys Hay Memorial Cup at The Western Australian Golf
Club at Yokine. New South Wales finished in second place followed by
Victoria.
In the battle for fifth and sixth places, South Australia defeated
Tasmania to claim fifth.

Defence Force help motivate QAS squad
Members of the Australian Defence Force recently took time to help
motivate the QAS squad in the lead-up to Men’s and Women’s teams
defending their Interstate Series titles in Western Australia last month.
Captain Andrew Crowe and Captain Jay Canham of the Australian
Defence Force attended the Golf Queensland State Training Facility
to speak to members of the QAS Golf Program as well as Men’s and
Women’s State Team representatives.
The session focused on motivation, leadership, preparation, mental
strength while providing an insight into the Australian Defence Force.
Golf Operations Manager Luke Bates said the athletes found the
sessions very beneficial with aspects of getting the most out of

yourself, training hard, and motivational methods having parallels
with the elite golfer.
“The Captain’s opened the eyes of the athletes, with the parallels
being noted on excelling in elite tournaments to excelling on the
battlefield,” Bates said.
“Captain Canham encouraged the athletes to find their true
motivation and to use it to get the most out of themselves as a person
and as a golfer.”
The session proved to be a great personal development and team
building exercise in the lead up to the 2011 Interstate Series which
saw the Men’s Team win back-to-back titles.
