Golf SA has selected its junior state sides for April’s national Junior Interstate Series in Adelaide, with five of the twelve players due to make their representative debuts.

In the state Boy’s side, Glenelg’s Lachlan Barker and Billy Cawthorne from Royal Adelaide are the only returning players.

The four players to make their debuts are; Liam Georgiadis (Grange), Joseph Hodgson (Kooyonga), Travis Miller (Kooyonga) and Port Lincoln local Jack Thompson (Grange).

“We are looking forward to playing the championship and boys team series in Adelaide for the first time since 2002. Playing on home soil, the boys will be hopeful of repeating their success of 2012” said Chair of Golf SA HP Tony Bourne.

Barker who recently moved to Glenelg Golf Club from Willunga Golf Club, has the honour of captaining the side. Barker ranked 21st nationally, is currently leading the Junior Vardon averages by more than three strokes after 19 rounds and was the leading South Australian in the SA Junior Master in January. He also placed third in the SA Junior Amateur behind winner Will Starkey who has since turned 18 and is ineligible for series.
