NSWCCC Golf Selections 2023

On 14 March Rohan Dormor, Year 10 participated in the selection trials that were held at Waratah Golf Club.  The event was abandoned halfway through the day due to heavy rainfall making the course unplayable.  A paper selection had to take place where each student had their Handicap and previous 20 rounds reviewed via Golf Link.  A team was then selected, and Rohan gained selection in the NSWCCC Golf Team for 2023.  Congratulations, Rohan.  He will now compete in the NSW All Schools Golf Championships to be held in June.
