Our Talented Athletes

We are thrilled to hear about Chloe Veeran's Junior State Tournament results since our last report. Chloe played two matches, where she lost one and won one. Ultimately WA finished with a thrilling tie with NSW, and all the junior team members agreed it was a great learning experience that left them ready for more success.

Chloe stated:

"Getting selected for the Junior Interstate Team was the result of many years of hard

work, training and determination. My handicap was 3 over par when I made the cut

for Junior State, that in itself felt like a major win.

The 2024 Interstate games were in Fremantle and proved to be an unforgettable

experience. In total 5 female and 5 male juniors were selected to represent WA.

Similarly, teams from every other state participated. We cheered each other on during

every match, creating a real sense of camaraderie. Playing at this level also made

the competition more intense and nerve-wracking.

Participating in the Junior State games has been a blessing, my dream is to turn pro.

Although it lasted five days, the memories and lessons I learned will stay with me

forever, reminding me of the grit and teamwork needed to succeed."

Congratulations Chloe and we look forward to supporting you in your future endeavours.
