Tea Tree Gully Seniors Remain Top of the Heap
Playing in the first final in the three years that The Grange Golf Club has fielded a Paradise Motors Mazda Golf SA Senior Pennants team, our chaps went down five matches to two. From what I can gather, several of the matches went back and forth until the back nine of Kooyonga got the better of our golfers.

Playing an unchanged team for the past three weeks the boys were all charged up following the six matches to one trouncing of Glenelg in the semi-final the previous week at Mt Osmond Golf Club.
It will now be a wound-licking 10 months until we have a chance to get even but we will likely need to up our dosages of anti-inflammatories, continue with physio appointments, massages, gym programs, golf lessons and/or whatever else it takes. The team organisers will also keep an eye out for any “young” guns turning 55 years of age by the next pennant season as well as contacting any low capper older ones who have recently retired and those who can make themselves available on Monday afternoons without taking a sickie……………results are normally published in the newspaper.
Thanks to Grant Bamber, Alan Crierie, George Roache and Joe Scopacasa who played matches this season but didn’t get a gig in the finals.
The team wishes to thank The Grange Golf Club & H Barber for sponsoring the team and a special thanks to Golf Operations extraordinaire Erin Burgess for her help and support.
