South Australian Pennant

SA Pennant – Overview

South Australian Pennant is made up of four Men’s divisions, six Women’s divisions and two Junior divisions competed annually with finals contested in July. Additionally, Senior Pennant (mixed gender competition) is played from September to November.

The Pennant Season is “Round Robin” match play contests between clubs at one venue in each division every week. At the conclusion of the minor round contest, the top four teams in each division compete in semi-finals to determine the top two teams to compete in the final to decide the divisional flags. All divisions are “off the stick” competitions, aside from Women’s Cleek 1, Women’s Cleek 2 and Junior Division 2 which are handicap match play contests.

Men’s Pennant (Simpson Cup) was inaugurated in 1927 and Women’s Pennant (Grade 1) three years later in 1930.

Senior Pennant - 2023 Season

Background In 2007 eight golf clubs put together the concept and implemented a Seniors Pennant Golf Competition. The founding clubs were Mt Osmond, Blackwood, Flagstaff Hill, The Vines, Tea Tree Gully, Riverside (West Lakes), Thaxted Park and Mt Lofty (The Stirling). The Competition expanded over time as interest was generated amongst senior players in clubs. The Senior Pennant Competition now stands at nineteen clubs under the auspices of Golf Australia and is open to both male players aged 55 and above and female players aged 50 years and above as of the day of play.
