\"\"<\/a>Report by Will Starkey<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had a good trip to Tasmania and played OK in the 2 tournaments over there – the Tamar Valley Cup and the Tasmanian Junior Masters.<\/p>\n

Sam Raschella\u00a0travelled with us which was good fun.\u00a0\u00a0 He played OK as well and enjoyed it.\u00a0 Over both tournaments, we both had exactly the same number of shots!<\/p>\n

Our first day there, we travelled up to Barnbougle and played 18 holes (in 40 knot gale).\u00a0 I can see why the course is ranked No. 1 public course – it is a hard track but in excellent condition.\u00a0 We had a couple of slow groups in front of us so it took us about 5 1\/2 hours to play the 18 holes.\u00a0 The wind was very strong. Into it, I was hitting driver 150 metres, and\u00a0with it, hitting\u00a0over 300 metres! \u00a0Brett Partridge, the Pro there knew Shane – apparently he played with him on tour years ago.<\/p>\n

The Tamar Valley Cup was played on a 9 hole course at Greens Beach\u00a0.\u00a0The course was good\u00a0with the greens in excellent condition. I ended up having rounds of\u00a0 78,79,81,82.\u00a0 I was happy with my long game\u00a0but\u00a0found the greens hard to read as they were very undulating.\u00a0 I reckon I had at least\u00a010 putts either lip out or sit on the edge of the hole, so it would have helped if a few of them could have dropped.\u00a0 There was a field of 41, and I finished 20th.<\/p>\n

With the practice rounds, I ended up playing the course 10 times so I had a good look around the Greens Beach track.<\/p>\n

The Tasmanian Junior Masters had a field of 51, and I ended up tied 22nd with rounds of 77,83,77,82.\u00a0 The mornings were good for golf but afternoons either a strong breeze or rain.<\/p>\n

Overall, the weather was good with rain for only 9 of the 144 holes played.\u00a0 I enjoyed both tournaments and had a great trip.\u00a0 My long game was\u00a0solid and\u00a0I felt as though my short game improved so that was good – although, I still had a few putts not dropping so could have easily had a few less.<\/p>\n

I got to play with Frazer\u00a0Droop,\u00a0an Australian squad player which was a great experience\u00a0and taught me a lot.<\/p>\n

I would like to thank the Glenelg Golf Club Foundation for providing funding and support because with their help, and that of the Glenelg Golf Club, I\u00a0am able to attend events such as this.<\/p>\n
