The inaugural match between the SC&SBDGA and Australian Defence Forces Golf Association (ADFGA) has taken place at Beerwah and District Memorial Golf Club. District Secretary/Treasurer, Terry Ward (a retired RAAF Warrant Officer) and the ADFGA's Wing Commander Trevor Owen have worked hard to introduce this prestigious event to the calendar for both organisations.

The players enjoyed a lunch of sandwiches and hot platters before heading back out for the afternoon foursomes matches.

After the afternoon matches, the players retired to their accommodation to dress for a relaxed and casual dinner. The draw for the final day's play was called with the opponents shaking hands before sitting down together to let the competitive banter begin. Special guests included Matthew Toomey (Golf Queensland), Don Cowie (first District President and Life Member) and his wife, Cheryl, and Dallas Furner (District President).

Without doubt, the most poignant portion of the evening was when each of the ADF members were invited to introduce themselves and speak about their military and personal lives. All present were spellbound as each speaker outlined their day jobs, highlights and lowlights. There were quite a few lighter moments thanks to the character and stoicism of these blokes. However, it is clear that each and every one of these amazing people have lost someone close to them in the course of their work/duty/life.

This evening, September 8, also is "International R U OK Day". The ADF is working towards providing balanced home and work life throughout their operations.

All players were very appreciative of Beerwah's warm welcome, hospitality, and course conditions.
