Five years in a row for soldiers


With a firm grasp on the Telegraph Cup, Maj Dave Elliott is congratulated by RAAF team captain WOFF Daryl Bell, after the SQ 2002 Inter-service golf championship, contested annually since 1954.

THE South East Queensland Army Golf team retained the annual Inter-Service Golf Championships for the fifth consecutive year recently, defeating the RAAF.

Games were played at the Bribie Island Golf Club using the President Cup format, with foursomes the first day, followed by fourball and finishing with singles.

Army Team captain Maj Dave Elliott, said the team was the strongest it had been for a number of years.

“With young players like LCpl Scott Boyle, 2HSB, and Gnr David Schwartz, 131 STA Bty, the Army team is building for the future,” he said.

Seven foursome games were played with the Army jumping to a quick lead of 5–2.

The next day the RAAF changed their order, mixing some of their more seasoned players with some new golfers to try and bridge the gap – with little success.

Army won the fourball 6–1 to extend the lead to 11-3.

On the final day 14 singles matches were played with the Army triumphant by a massive 11.5 to 2.5.
