      State Senior Golf News - June Update (June 13)

    NEWS FROM NEW SOUTH WALES:
    The 2009 Senior Order of Merit competition is now well underway with thirteen events completed (the best 12 events are counted). The new leader is Avondale golfer Richard Greville who has a handy lead over Denis Dale and Greg Corben. As players start to move beyond 12 events and can drop their poorer events the points can change quite quickly. This is sure to make for an exciting finish to this year's competition.

    NEWS FROM VICTORIA:
    The 2009 Victorian Senior Order of Merit competition is also well underway with twelve events completed (the best 8 events are counted). The current leader is Yarra Yarra golfer Michael Jackson with arch rival Ross Percy not too far behind. There is a little gap to third placed Paul Bray from Metropolitan. With another twelve events remaining this competition is also expected to be a close finish.

      Kiwis beat Australia to Win Trans Tasman

    After taking a narrow lead after day one of the 2009 Trans Tasman Senior Championship the visiting New Zealand senior side has gone on to record a very convincing win over the Australian team. Played at the magnificent Sanctuary Cove Golf Club this is the third of the championship matches between the two countries. Australia was the winner in 2007 and 2008.

    In 2009 the Kiwis were clearly a better team and are now first time and very proud holders of The Sanctuary Cove Trophy. In a very convincing performance all the New Zealander's played great golf, especially over the all important closing holes. With a 9-3 result in the singles the final result was a 16 matches to 8 matches victory.



    This event is the pinnacle for senior amateur golfers in Australia and New Zealand. With the support and sponsorship of Mulpha Sanctuary Cove the 2009 championship repeated the great successes of 2007 and 2008. This year the Srixon company also joined in and their generous supply of equipment for the full Australian team was certainly appreciated by all the players. The Aussie team looked great - just couldn't quite play at the same level!

    The Pines at Sanctuary Cove is a wonderful course and a fitting venue for this championship. The membership not only gave up their course but also provided caddies and supporters for both teams. A great few days at a great club. All the results here - 2009 Australia vs New Zealand

      Barltop Wins 2009 Aust. Seniors (May 14)

    New Zealand super star Rodney Barltrop has won the 2009 Australian Seniors Championship at Bribie Island Golf Club. This makes it three Australian Senior titles for the talented Kiwi senior golfer.

    Barltrop played magnificent golf to return a three under par score of 69 to defeat the 36 hole leader Grahame MacDonald by three shots. MacDonald closed with a fine round of 75. Joining MacDonald in a tie for second place was another Kiwi - Martin Webber, who matched Barltrop's score of 69.

    Attention now turns to Sanctuary Cove on Monday and Tuesday when a dozen of the best seniors from Australia and New Zealand do battle for the Trans-Tasman Senior Trophy. Click for more information on the 2009 Australian Seniors


      Jackson Wins Playoff at Cobram (May 7)

    Victorian Michael Jackson has defeated fellow Victorian senior Ross Percy in an exciting finish to win the 2009 Cobram-Barooga Seniors. Both players recorded final rounds of 75 for 54 totals of 225 with Jackson going on to birdie the first play-off hole to claim victory. Jackson had also won this event in 2006.


    Jackson and Percy are the current leaders of the Victorian Senior Order of Merit and it was fitting to see these two top class golfers fight out the finish. Third place was a tie between 36 hole leader Chris Tatt and NSW senior Rick Oliver. Tatt slipped slightly with a final round 78 while Oliver played steadily for his 76.

      MacDonald Wins the 2009 NT Seniors (Apr 29)

    Queenslander Grahame MacDonald has won the 2009 Northern Territory Seniors Championship at the Alice Springs Golf Club. Equal leader with Denis Dale (NSW) after 36 holes MacDonald played consistent golf on a testing final day. His score of 76 was the best of the day and he finished two ahead of Dale.


    Third place was a tie between John Beaumont who returned a final round 80 and Victorian Steve Cann (77). West Australian Bob Gamsby also had a final round of 80 to gain a place in the Top 5. More information and scores here 2009 Northern Territory Seniors
