MEN’S WEEKEND PENNANT

Nudgee competes in the Brisbane District Golf Association’s (BDGA) annual Pennant competition.

This competition involves 4 Divisions with 4 Clubs in each Division competing in home and away matches on a promotion / relegation basis each year based on results.

Each team consists of 21 players, being 5 Junior (under 18) players, 5 Masters (over 50) players and 11 Open (all ages) players plus reserves for each group.

Each season we compete for an overall Pennant (the result that affects promotion/ relegation), a Junior Pennant, a Masters Pennant and an Open Pennant.

The individual matches are played ‘off the stick’ (ie no handicaps) in a match play format.

Matches are played in July /August on Sunday mornings starting at 6.30am.

More information regarding the competition history, format and rules can be found at https://www.bdga.org.au/pennants/rules-conditions/

Nudgee has a proud history in performing well in Pennant, having won a significant number of Pennants over the years.

We take the Pennant competition seriously and have a selection process to ensure the best match play players / team focussed players / brand ambassadors are selected to represent our club.

As a guideline, the process is likely to include (specific dates and activities may vary):

  • March – invites emailed to players with either a low handicap (level set each year based on number of players in handicap bands – eg in 2021 it was a handicap of 3 or below) or track record in match play (this includes past Pennant performance but also performances in the Summer Cup match play tournament the Club holds at the start of the year)
  • April – Welcome Challenge event to get the potential squad members together to meet each other socially and compete in a fun setting to build on our team environment
  • April / May – match play trials held at Nudgee
  • May / June – squad selected (21 players plus reserves)
  • June /July – match play practice matches at Clubs in our Division; various training and team building events held with input from the Club’s Professional team
  • July – uniform presentations and first team selected
  • July / August – 6 matches played (3 at home and 3 at away Clubs) and Pennant champions crowned
  • August / September – end of season event to celebrate our team’s achievements

Pennant involves a significant process and commitment across a 5-6 month period. It is an honour to represent the Club and therefore to be part of the squad a player is being asked to commit to the team based approach before accepting their invite at the start of the process.
