Round 2 of the Junior Division 2 Team was played on Sunday 15th May at The Vines against The Mid North Team. The course was in good condition; however, the weather was against us with strong winds, rain and hail, making scoring challenging.  

This week’s team consisted of Elyse Kozlovic – Captain, Angus Dungey, Tayan Scott, Mason Holden and Reid Scott.

Tayan, who had to give his opponent 5 shots, struggled to find the fairways, which wasn’t helped by the strong winds. He was 3 down after 6 holes, but two good pars on both the 7th and 8th holes had him 1 down at the turn. His opponent played steadily, and unfortunately Tayan lost 6/4.

Elyse squared four out of the first 9 holes and parred the 8th, so was 3 down after 9 holes. Her drives found the fairways but around the greens were proving difficult. She parred the 12th hole for a win; however, her opponent was able to sink the putts and Elyse lost 5/4.

Mason, who played with new irons this week, found the fairways and his shots to the greens were on song. He was 2 up after 9 holes, and his consistency paid off and he won his match 4/3. Our first win of the day. Congratulations Mason.

Angus played solidly, with 2 pars on the front 9 to be 2 up at the turn. On the back 9 the putts would not sink, and the match was all square coming down the 18th.  Angus’s tee shot on the 18th ended up in a tangle of tree roots off the fairway, he managed to hit the ball, and went on to sink a long putt to square the hole, and the match. Well done, Angus.

Reid, who had to give his opponent 17 shots played consistently and was 1 up after 9 holes. On the 17th hole Reid’s bunker shot found the hole for a par and was 1 up coming down the 18th. Reid lost the last hole to square the match. A great effort Reid.

This resulted in one win and 2 squares, for a 3/2 loss to Mid North. Well done to The Grange team for their perseverance in difficult conditions. Thank you to the parents for their support.

Our next match is on Sunday 22nd  May at The Grange  against Royal Adelaide.
