What a fantastic final for our 2021 Junior Pennants. It was a nail-biter with a combined Keperra/Wantima team winning this years' final. Our Junior Coordinator Sue couldn't be there but I know she would be proud of you all. As Gabriel our BDLGA President said today, the game is in safe hands with such a talented group of young women representing their Clubs and District. With ages starting from 10 years you all have shown incredible sportsmanship and for those that are ageing out of the juniors, we welcome you into our senior ranks. We look forward to watching all of your achievements this year.
Chyloe Kurdas, the Female Engagement Senior Manager with Golf Australia gave an online presentation at the BDLGA Delegates' meeting on 5 March at McLeod Golf Club. In it, she raised the bar for us to take ownership of golf for women and girls within our own clubs. Her motivational speech is now available on our website. It is highly recommended viewing for all of our members.
