2025 Junior Development Squad

 Dear Junior Golfers and Parents,

We are excited to announce that nominations are now open for the 2025 Junior Development Squad, a collaborative initiative between the CSGA and ACT-M DGA.  Following the success of the inaugural program, we are eager to welcome a new group of talented young golfers to take their game to the next level.

The 2025 squad will be confirmed by the end of March, with the program running from April through October. Under the expert guidance of PGA Teaching Professional Gary Dowling (GLakes GC) and other experienced coaches from across the ACT region, participants will receive top-tier coaching designed to enhance their skills, strategy, and overall approach to the game.

This program is an excellent pathway for juniors aiming for selection into prestigious talent programs such as SESA and JNJG. Feedback from last year’s participants and parents highlighted significant improvements in their game, with five players securing places in the South East Sports Academy for 2025—a testament to the program’s success!

Attached is the Application Form, which outlines program details and how to apply. We encourage all interested juniors to seize this opportunity and submit their applications.  Limited places are available.

If you know a junior golfer who would benefit from this program, please share this email with them. We look forward to another successful year of developing young talent!

Good golfing!

Irrigation system

Attention members, I sincerely apologise for not communicating to all members earlier and consistently in regard to the situation regarding the irrigation system and the resulting turf coverage at Gungahlin Lakes. It was in October that the greens staff discovered an issue with one of the 4 pumps that distributed the water from the pond on 14/18 throughout the course. After many false starts, many “experts” investigating, being sent to Adelaide, many replacement parts – we are still a pump down. Simple mathematics indicates that we should be 25% down in our ability to deliver water – but somehow this number is between 30 and 35%. Match committee have been recognising the resultant turf issues and introduced local rules to accommodate. Once again, sorry for not letting you all know the stress that our course and greens staff have been under over the summer months
