Golf It was another great year for the TSS Golf Team. The team was competitive in all four events, which were held at North Lakes, Nudgee, Royal Pines and The Hills. Our GPS Golf Day was held again at Royal Pines, which was a nice way to end a great year. We formed a new Junior Squad last year to help build our TSS golf program’s future and they had a banner year winning the QIGA Championship by 16 points over The Hills Golf Academy. Congratulations to these fine young players who are the future of TSS golf: James Goffman (Team Captain), Max Carr, Michael Song, Josh Carthcart, Zac Cirocco and Matthew Buckley. SPECIAL AWARDS

During 2015 I have taken over as President of the QIGA. 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 our QIGA events.
