PERFORMANCES OF NOTE For the year ending 31 March 2021
2020 Senior Pennant Team Senior Div 2 Team: Paul McGrath, David Marshall, John Keogh, Brian Welsh, David Chantrell, Anthony Doyle, Graeme Bennett, Steve Weeks, & Team Manager, Wayne Humphries Glenelg defeated South Lakes to win the Division 2 Final, six matches to one.
Charley Jacobs, 19, Intermediate Member 2020 should have seen Jacobs’ starting her college year at Iowa State University. Instead, Covid put all plans on hold including all major Golf Australia events. With little on the calendar to start the year, Charley used this time wisely to work with State High Performance Coach, Adrian Wickstein, and fine tune her game.

Jacobs was well rewarded later in the year by becoming the first hometown winner of the Women’s SA Amateur since 2011 by dominating the final at Mt Osmond Golf Club, needing just 27 holes to defeat Queensland’s Sarah Wilson 10 and 9. Her performance matched the occasion; she was effectively two-under par (and four up in the match) after the first 18 holes against Wilson, and proceeded to shoot six-under par for the next nine holes in the afternoon to close it out early.
Jack Tanner, 20, Intermediate Member 2020 saw Tanner stuck between countries for a few months as he travelled back from South Dakota State College. Like Jacobs, he made good use of the time and put in all the work necessary to reward him with the following notable finishes: • • •
