We are still waiting on some of the Division 3 and Open results to come through, but in the meantime here are Division 1 and 2 results and ladder.
GCV Sunday Pennant Round 1 Results
The GCV Sunday Pennant season kicked off today in extremely wet conditions. Despite Division 1 and 2 golfers hitting the course in Heathcote, the relentless rain eventually won out and most matches had to be cancelled and teams awarded a draw.
In slightly better conditions at the Kyneton Golf Club, Division 3 and Open were able to complete all of their matches. Well done to everyone who battled the conditions. We haven’t had a wet round for a few years, and we are hoping for a few sunny weeks ahead!
Note: Two of the contests in Division 1 have been updated in accordance with Pennant Condition 12, as 4 matches had been completed in each contest. This hasn’t impacted on the results, as in both cases the contests were 2 wins and 2 losses.
Round 1 Sunday Pennant going ahead!
Both courses hosting Rd 1 of Sunday Pennant have confirmed that they haven’t received much rain overnight and this morning and will be fine to play. The forecast looks like there is some rain on the way, but will hopefully stay north of both Heathcote and Kyneton. Round 1 is on! Play well!
Sunday Pennant Draw now available
The 2021 Sunday Pennant draw is now available. Clubs are asked to review and confirm course availability.
GCV Pennant Update!
Clubs are reminded to get their entries and course availability in for this year’s Pennant season. The closing date has been extended to 19 February as the dates for the Monday Pennant (Women’s and Sand Greens) have been pushed back by a couple of weeks.
Just a reminder that the Open Division in Sunday’s Pennant has changed a little bit this year, with teams being made up of men and women (or all men or all women). The World Handicap System allows handicaps to be equalised for different courses, and this has meant that women that aren’t able to play mid week can still get their pennant fix!
Entries now open for GCV Men’s, Women’s and Mixed Pennant 2021!
After cancelling pennant in 2020 due to COVID-19, the GCV Pennant season is back for 2021! There are some minor changes being made in 2021 which will bring both the men’s and women’s seasons closer together and providing an opportunity for mixed teams to play in Open Divisions on either Sunday’s or Monday’s.
Pennant entries forms have been sent to club’s, but can also be downloaded from the GCV website. Entries and course availability needs to be submitted by 5 February 2021 to enable course scheduling and draws to be prepared. Final team lists are not needed until the start of the season.
GCV Juniors on fire!
Our junior golfers have been on fire in recent weeks with Jazzy Roberts and Archie Alston taking out individual wins at the Vic Country Junior Regionals played in Ballarat. Jazzy won the girls gross and Archie the boys net. Also competing in the North West Super Region Team were Flynn Anderson, Campbell Boyd and Tom Roberts. Everyone played really well and got to play in some challenging conditions!
This is on top of an outstanding result in this year’s Vic Junior Pennant, which was played as a virtual competition, where team members played on their home course and scores were submitted against another team. Our team took on heavy weight golf clubs Woodlands, Yarra Yarra, Cranbourne and Eastern, and were undefeated in their four matches! Awesome work team!

GCV Events Suspended Until Further Notice!
GCV has decided to follow Golf Australia’s advice and has suspended all GCV events, such as Men’s and Women’s pennant and District Championships, until further notice.
