SAPSASA Golf
On the 3rd of September my Dad and I headed down to Adelaide
for SAPSASA Golf for my third year in a row. We headed out to
Highercombe Golf Club and I had a lesson with Shannon Scott.
After that we headed into
Adelaide and went to the place
we were staying with two people
we knew from Pinnaroo in a unit
in North Plympton.
The next day we headed to
Drummond golf driving range
and hit a few balls. Then we
went to the Executive par 66
course and I played in the
qualifying round to get into the
championship round on the main
course. I shot 70 off the stick and
qualified about middle of the field. We went to The Watermark
for tea with the people we were staying with and stuffed ourselves
with food!
The next morning we had our team excursion and we went to
Bowland in Marion, Bella won the girls and Dustin won the boys.
On Tuesday afternoon we played against Lower Eyre Peninsula
which we had a lot of close games but lost 13-5.
On Wednesday morning we played Onkaparinga South and got
smashed 17-1. We played Lower South East and were beaten 15-3.
That night Mitchell and Thomas were lucky enough to go to the
T20 cricket – Australia vs South Africa at Adelaide Oval.
Thursday morning we played Southern Yorke Peninsula and again
were thrashed 17-1. In the afternoon we played North Eastern and
won 14-4! We were very happy with this result and it meant that
we couldn’t win the wooden spoon!
On Friday morning we played Southern and had a good game but
lost 12-6. We all improved heaps during the week and all of the
kids would like to thank Di Eatts for being our coach for the week,
also our parents for taking us.
Thomas Klingberg
The next morning we went to the Adelaide Shores Golf Course’s
driving range before we teed off. On the first 9 holes I had had 49
which is fairly good. Coming in to the 18th hole I was on 43, I had
a really good drive but my second shot found the bunker. It took
me 5 shots to get out of the bunker and I ended up with a 9 on that
hole. It gave me 101 for the day which I was happy with, but I
was disappointed with how my last hole had ended.
I would like to thank Dad for taking me to Adelaide and Tom
Kenny and E.P. Golf for organising the Eyre Peninsula qualifying
down in Port Lincoln.

SAPSASA Tennis
This year there were 6 students from Kimba (Thomas Klingberg,
Dustin Osborn, Mitchell Yates, Alyssa Cant, Georgia Lienert and
Ellie Williams) who went to SAPSASA Tennis from Monday the
3rd of November until Friday the 7th of November at the Seacliff
Tennis Courts.
On Monday morning we played Riverland and were annihilated
17-1, this was a real realisation of how things might go for the rest
of the week. In the afternoon we played Murraylands and lost
respectively 11-7.
