Kate McFarlane (Bundaberg) for her brilliant performance in winning The Invincibles Division 1 Girls Matchplay Championship, but most importantly, for the way she went about her win.
To witness Kate and Yuuki Takada (Southport) produce a world class performance as they went head-to-head in the finals, was something to behold, and a true testament as to the talent both girls possess.
Over the closing two holes of normal time, Yuuki birdied the tough par 3, 17th to go 1/up after her brilliant tee shot.
Kate replied by birdying the 18th to square the match after producing a magnificent approach from ninety metres out when needed. Both Kate and Juuki’s performances had everyone engrossed as their match was forced into extra time.
They then followed up the next four holes (1-2-2-2) with pars.
On the fifth play-off hole (16th) Kate sunk the match winning seventeen metre birdie putt to claim the win.
The shot making from both girls under pressure was extraordinary, with the only difference between the two girls, being Kate’s incredible chip for par on the second play-off hole to keep the match alive, and her seventeen-metre birdie putt on the fifth play-off hole, which were shots that any world class professional (man or women) would accept in a heartbeat, given the same circumstances.
In some ways, it was a shame that there had to be a winner, but both girls should hold their heads high given their sportsmanship and their performances.
Under normal circumstances Yuuki would have won this award, but she should be enormously proud of her performance and the pleasure she gave to the large gallery that followed, including her proud dad, Makoto.
Other members that were in the running for the Drummond Award and could consider themselves a little unlucky were, Thomas Winn (boys div 1- Pacific) Jack Jones (boys div 2- Keperra) Tom Hutchison (boys div 3- Twin Waters) and Juhi Rampersad (Girls div 2 -Pacific Harbour) who all won their respective divisions of The Invincibles Matchplay Championships.
The Invincibles committee congratulates Kate on behalf of everyone on Tour for her outstanding achievements, achievements that most certainly makes her a very worthy winner of our DRUMMOND GOLF ACHIEVER of the MONTH AWARD for April 2021!!!
Our 5 or 9-Hole “Drummond Golf Achiever Award” for April. Goes to Jarrod Hill (Redcliffe) for the motivation and enthusiasm that he displays towards his golf.
As everyone is aware, the 9-hole Drummond Award is not so much about winning an event, as it is about attitude, commitment, sportsmanship, and a focus on following your dreams.

We feel, as history would suggest, The Invincibles Tour, The Sunshine Coast and South East Queensland is the perfect breeding ground for any up and coming or aspiring junior golfer “boy or girl”, would be stating the obvious, but we think it’s fair to say that the best is yet to come, and we would like to invite you to be part of it.
“It is also important to note; that to win or qualify for the Drummond Achiever Award or any other Invincibles awards (except The Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Masters Championship) one has to be a member of The Invincibles Tour.” The Invincibles season starts on the 1st of January, through to the 31st of December.
The Invincibles Tour, on behalf of their juniors and families would like to take this opportunity to thank Roy and Kim McClean “Drummond Golf Maroochydore” and “Callaway Australia” for their continuing and very generous support of junior golf.
There’s no doubt that programs like The Invincibles Sunshine Coast Junior Golfing Tour could ever exist or be the outstanding success it is, without the very generous support from organizations like Drummond Golf Maroochydore and Callaway Australia!
