Over the years Spring Valley has fluctuated between Div 2 and 3. Div 2 is a significant step up in class with most teams possessing a number of scratch markers. Our goal is to win enough matches to remain in Div 2 for 2019. Sandhurst finished mid-table last year so we are confident of a very competitive showing. All players have been practising hard and the clinics conducted by Elissa Orr have served to sharpen our skills.<\/p>\n<p>SVGC v Sandhurst at Green Acres 12.15pm, Sunday March 4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helen Noble<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; former Club Champion, \u00a0team leader from the No. 1 position. \u2013 Caddy: John Carlson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cec Pezet<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; consistent performer in Div 3 last year, battling injuries, has been promoted up the order for this match. \u2013 Caddy: Steve Smythe<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tiana Wanigasekera<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; current Club Champion, undefeated in Div 3 last year, our shining star. \u2013 Caddy: Del Wanigasekera<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sue Semmen<\/strong>s &#8211; former Club Champion and SVGC Pennant stalwart, always competitive to the last hole. \u2013 Caddy: Patty Carlson<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hayley Peters<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; current Women\u2019s Captain, undefeated in Div 3 last year. \u2013 Caddy: Andrew Peters<\/p>\n<p><strong>Erica Kreymborg<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; long hitting, dependable player, exceptionally hard to beat when at her best. \u2013 Caddy: Keith Mico<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rosemary McQuade<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; former Club Champion, \u00a0extremely reliable, a luxury to have her playing at No. 7 \u2013 Caddy: Jan Kreymborg<\/p>\n<p>Pennant Manager &#8211;\u00a0<strong>Alison Miller<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Colt&#8217;s Pennant Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>SVGC v Box Hill at Goonawarra 8.15am, Sunday March 4.<\/p>\n<p>The 2018 Colt&#8217;s Pennant season is sure to be an outstanding one with all players improving significantly over the past year with 2017 Junior Club Champion Nivethan Kanthan leading the team from the no.1 position<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nivethan Kanthan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Aryan Sharma\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrew Beech\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sid Annangi\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Luca Stanbridge\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pennant Manager &#8211;<strong>Steve Adams\/Elissa Orr<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Women&#8217;s Friday\u00a0Pennant Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Due to commence Friday 16 March<\/p>\n<p>Teams and preview to come.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For all pennant information, draws &amp; results visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.golfvic.org.au\/pennant\">GolfVic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring Valley would like to wish all Pennant Teams the best of luck for the upcoming 2018 season.
