The event takes place on 26-28 March, and the team is a mix of newcomers and experienced players. 2017 is the second year where women have formed part of the GA team.
This year sees the 11th playing of the event and previous occasions the matches have been played in the very best spirit while also being very keenly fought.
The social side has also been a great success and lasting friendships have been made between older golfers and the younger golfers who also serve in the defence of our country.
The 12-person Golf Australia Team contests Four-Ball, Foursomes and Singles match play in a Ryder Cup style against the12-person ADF Team.
