Golf TSS Golf had a record year in 2014, winning low net honors; we were competitive in all four events, which were held at Nudgee, Royal Pines, The Hills and Indooroopilly. Our GPS Golf Day was held at Carbrook, which was a nice way to end a great year.
This year we invited three players on to the team from TSS Primary – James Goffman, Matthew Buckley and Zac Cirocco. These boys did a wonderful job of representing TSS and we hope to establish an official junior golf team next year. GRANT GARRISON

Tristan Nichols was QIGA Player of the Year for 2014, winning three out of four events and finishing a strong five shots ahead of Max Hsieh, who is the top player for The Hills Golf Academy. Tristan was recently offered a golf scholarship to West Virginia University and will be heading to the US next year to play golf abroad and gain his degree. We congratulate Tristan for being such a great representative for TSS and we wish you the very best in your future.
We have two upcoming players at TSS, Jacob More and Peter Baldry, who had great years, both finishing in the top 20. In fact, Jacob was one shot ahead with three holes to play in our last event, nearly winning his first QIGA event. These two boys are improving quickly and could be the next TSS superstars.
We recently established a TSS Golf Support Group – Friends of Golf (FOG). If you would like to be involved or contribute to help grow Golf at TSS, please contact me through the Sports Office.
Last, I will be taking over as President of the QIGA in 2015. It is an honor to represent an association with such a history as over 100 participants have become professional golfers. I hope to grow the program next year and get more schools participating in intercollegiate golf, along with getting more players from TSS competing in the QIGA events.
