Congratulations to all teams for making the finals and the spirit in which the matches were played.
Today was the culmination of another huge pennant season. A new record of 377 players across four grades participated in 2016 Sunshine Coast Golf Zone pennant this year. That’s a massive commitment of people and resources to get the teams on the course each week.
It takes a huge amount of planning and organisation behind the scenes for Pennants to run successfully:
We congratulate the following players for their individual successes within their teams during the 2016. The 2016 Pennant Players of the Year are:
| PLAYERS OF THE YEAR | RUNNERS-UP | |
| A GRADE | MAT WALKENHORST (Headland) | TJ King (Mt Coolum) |
| Zac Quirk (Mt Coolum) | ||
|
B GRADE (joint winners) |
GERRY LYNCH (Maroochy River) | Chris Elliott (TCB) |
| KURT TEHLIWEC (Mt Coolum) | ||
| MASTERS | JEFF GRIFFIN (Caloundra) | Ken Speare (Nambour |
| Peter Perrett (Headland) | ||
| JUNIORS | JOSH HOLBROOK (Headland 1) | Will Rothwell (Noosa) |
Finally, to help with making improvements, the Zone Committee will once again conduct a Survey via Sunshine Coast Golf website to ensure we are getting the right mix to serve the future good of the game.
