The four division Golf SA Men’s Pennant season will commence on Sunday 14th May, with the Men’s top grade ‘The Simpson Cup’ being played at Blackwood Golf Club.

The Simpson Cup is an 8 team Competition, played over a 7 round season (each team plays each other once). The top 2 teams after 7 rounds, play off in the Final on Sunday 9th July at Royal Adelaide Golf Club.

2016 champion Glenelg has a very strong squad with eight players having represented SA at junior or senior level over the past two years. Anything can happen in a 7 round season, but if their players fire, they will be a strong chance to make the final and go back to back.

Glenelg Team Manager Geoff Attenborough believes the team will be right in the mix again.

“The Glenelg Simpson Cup, Bonnar Cup and Sharp Cup squads have been practising hard for the upcoming pennant season,” Attenborough said.

“After our Simpson Cup win last season the Glenelg team are taking nothing for granted and respect all opposition.

“With Sam Burton from Tea Tree Gully, Michael Munn from Blackwood and up and coming juniors Jack Buchanan and Frank Vucic added to our squad the Glenelg team is confident of a strong defence of our title win from last year.” Attenborough added.
