Threetip triumphs in the Riverland.

Threetip Wongsala has led a great showing for North Adelaide players in the Veteran Golfers Association Riverland Tour, completed on Friday 4 September.

Fifty-one players from metro clubs and others as far away as Port Lincoln all took on Barmera (twice), Berri and Loxton in a four-round Stableford tournament across the week.

Threetip finished a clear winner in the women’s competition… five points ahead of the field, with North Adelaide clubmates filling three of the next four places.

In the men’s draw, an excellent result for Piete de Wit finishing second… after a week of superb golf in his first year with the Metro Vets competition.

Big thanks to Tour Directors, Murray O’Neill and Carla Hirst for staging another enjoyable and competitive event.

Se Young Jung in the medals in debut OOM season.

North Adelaide’s own Se Young Jung has ended a superb debut season in the SA Senior Order of Merit finishing third overall.

At the final event in Naracoorte which concluded on Wednesday 2 September, Se Young received her medals for placing third overall in both the gross and nett combined results.

A 4-time women’s champion for North Adelaide, SYJ enjoyed a stellar debut in the Senior Order of Merit, triumphant in her first event at Mt Osmond in June where she won off-the-stick, on handicap and had a hole-in-one.

Other wins off-the-stick followed at Reynella and Victor Harbor.

Congratulations to a fearless competitor and a proud ambassador of the North Adelaide Golf Club.

Divots can get you into some real trouble even if your ball is not sitting in one.

This is a deep dive into the rules on divots, particularly an incident in a recent tournament which a player incurred a two-stroke penalty…

Rules: How a divot caused a two-stroke penalty Golf can be a wonderfully simple game. Play the ball as it lies, accept the course as you find it, and get on with the next shot. But every now and then, an incident reminds us just how precise the Rules of Golf can be.

Animals on the course… fine.
Animals interfering with your ball?
What’s the ruling?

⛳️ A piece of South Australia’s history 👇   Formed in the 1890s, the North Adelaide Golf Course has witnessed remarkable change. In the early days, golf was played across dry fields among military activity and grazing sheep and cattle.   The evolution continues today, taking this rich history and building on it to develop a publicly-owned world class championship course in the heart of the city.

Here is your first look at how the redeveloped North Adelaide Public Golf Course is coming along - with the first of the championship holes just a short chip away!   Bunkers for the new number 3 hole are finished, with the shaping of three challenging sand traps set to test both the public golfers and the professionals. The new hole – which replaces a portion of the former 18th – will have one of the shorter fairways. The steep, deep bunkers protecting the green will provide a tough challenge.    📩 Keep up to date on the North Adelaide Golf Course redevelopment by signing up to our newsletter. Link in bio.
