Navy’s best golfers will descend on the Wodonga Country
Golf Club to contest the Australian Defence Force Cup from May
3-5.
This event was formerly known as the Defence Force Cup and the
Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps (RAAOC) Cup.
The 2006 event incorporates the Australian Defence Force Golf
association North-East Victoria Regional Golf Championships
and the 24th Royal Australian Army Ordnance Championship.
Capt Paul Henry said the event was open to all serving and retired
ADF members, as well as defence civilians and Defence contractors.
The Australian Defence Force Cup will be played over 36 holes
with Round 1 being held on May 4.
Organisers expect entries from throughout Victoria, NSW, the
ACT and Queensland, and they are keen to increase the number
of women participants this year.
In an effort to encourage golf within Defence and northeast
Victoria, a novice category has been included in the Australian
Defence Force Cup Competition. However, novice players will
not be eligible to compete for prizes in the Australian Defence
Force Golf Association Regional Handicap Championship or the
RAAOC Cup Championship.
A maximum number of 120 players will be set for the first and
second round of the championship, with first preference being
given to serving and retired Defence members, Defence civilians
and Defence contractors holding a current AGU or WGA handicap.
Throughout the Australian Defence Force Cup tournament, evening
social events will be held at the nearby Bandiana Golf Club.
