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.

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.
