Army slices up WA interservice

Golf

The WA Interservice Golf team (back L-R): Mark Klopper (manager), Gary Webster, Glen Wright, Jason Minns, Warrick Preston, Ross Merrick, Chris Lee, Tom Costello; (front L-R): Scott Brown, Allan Von Snedden (captain), Keith Hilton (vice-captain), Adam Moore, Dave Parry and James Patterson.

The 2003 WA Interservice Golf Competition was held in October with the Army winning on the final day to clinch the trophy.

The tri-Service champion for WA was Warren Howard from the Army and the Navy champion was ABMT James Patterson from HMAS Adelaide.

The Army defeated the RAAF on the first day 8-3 and Navy defeated RAAF 9-2 on the second day.

Navy had been the previous winner for the last two years and was looking for three in a row. Both teams had many new players and a close contest was on the cards.

Navy was up 6-4 and one match square after nine holes, but couldn’t keep the momentum going and Army finished in front on the day, winning 7-4.

The Defence Force would particularly like to thank ADI Limited for their sponsorship of the Interservice event and their promise to also sponsor the event for the next two years.

Navy would like to thank their sponsors whose assistance was invaluable, Skilled Engineering, Thales Underwater Systems, Aust Submarine Corp, Defence Credit Union, Spotless, The Fitness Generation, Tenix, Defcredit, Golf Down Under, Kings Choice Meats, L.J. Hooker Rockingham and Secret Harbour GC.
