Hunter joined two students from Bathurst and one from Kandos in the Western team to finish in a credible sixth position out of eight teams.

The event was hosted by the picturesque Pacific Dunes and Newcastle Golf Clubs from June 27-29.

Conditions were chilly in the mornings with drizzly rain on the last two days.

Both courses were in excellent condition with tight fairways making teeing off difficult as well as quick undulating greens that added a degree of difficulty to putting.

Hunter played well and enjoyed the challenge presented by both courses.  

After completing the tournament Hunter has gained a new appreciation for practice and course management that will result in good scores on quality courses such as these.

All of his playing partners over the three days were enjoyable to play with.

The boys and girls that participated should be congratulated on their behaviour and etiquette shown through the tournament.

Hunter has gained a great deal of knowledge of what is required to succeed at the next level in golf and will use this as a building block as he looks forward to attending College in the USA starting next year.
