Updated: 23 June 2013 Dubbo&aposs Errol Toomey and Dunheved&aposs Dea Thiele won the top prize at the NSW Aboriginal Golf Championships. The Championship took place at Hunter Valley Golf, NSW from 20-21 June. Thirty-one keen starters took the field. Professor Bob Morgan, Chair of the NSW Aboriginal Golf Incorporated, thanked Golf NSW for their support during the two days of the Championship. All who attended had a great time and Bob hopes to build on the event. He said the biggest struggle was for players to get time off from work, stating “we hope that we can overcome the issue of player work commitments by negotiating a Saturday and Sunday time slot for next year.” Bob is already planning the 2014 event to continue to develop the championships and to encourage more participants. It is anticipated the 2014 event will take place at the Hunter region in February, to be confirmed.
