Moody Friday mornings with new angles!

KCGC Gent's Club Champion Wes Hinton has produced an outstanding performance at this year's Amateur Championship at Royal Liverpool (Hoylake), one of the most prestigious events in world amateur golf.

Competing against a world-class field of 288 players from 41 countries, Wesley finished the 36-hole stroke play qualifying at two-under-par and successfully progressed through a sudden-death playoff to earn his place in the match play stages. His championship run came to an end in the opening round of the match play format (group of 64), going down 2&1 to Spain’s Sergio Jiménez Romero.

With exemptions into the 2026 Open Championship and the 2027 U.S. Open awaiting the eventual winner, Wesley’s performance on one of golf’s biggest amateur stages is a tremendous testament to his talent and composure under pressure. Congratulations Wes on a fantastic week at Hoylake.

Wes Hinton Competes at Prestigious St Andrews Links Trophy
Keperra Country Golf Club’s reigning Men’s Club Champion, Wesley Hinton , has continued his impressive rise in amateur golf, recently competing in the prestigious St Andrews Links Trophy in Scotland.
Recognised as one of the premier amateur tournaments in the world, the St Andrews Links Trophy attracts many of the game’s leading amateur players and is contested over the historic Old Course and New Course at St Andrews, the Home of Golf.
Competing against an elite international field of 144 players, Wes produced a strong performance to finish tied for 31st at even par after rounds of 70, 71, 74, and 72. Importantly, he comfortably made the cut and earned the opportunity to play the final rounds on the iconic Old Course. In an outstanding achievement, Wes was the only Australian player to progress through to the final 36 holes of the championship.
The result continues a remarkable period of success for Wes, who has established himself as one of Australia’s leading amateur golfers through a series of outstanding performances both at home and now abroad.
Wes will now continue his international campaign by competing in the English Men’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship (Brabazon Trophy), one of the United Kingdom’s most prestigious amateur events. He will then travel to contest the Scottish Men’s Open Championship later this month, providing further opportunities to test his game against many of the world’s highest-ranked amateurs.
The Club congratulates Wes on his performance at St Andrews and wishes him every success as he continues to represent Keperra Country Golf Club, Queensland and Australian amateur golf on the international stage.

A picture-perfect day welcomed the 130 competitors in this year’s Gents Foursomes Championship, with the course finally basking in some much-needed sunshine.

The father-and-son combination of Matthew and Ben Dowling were looking to break through after several years of attempting to win the Gents Foursomes title. An opening-round score of 3-over-par 75 gave them a five-shot lead over several pairs, including defending champions Michael Carruthers and Jarrod Mann, heading into the afternoon’s final round.

A second-round score of 74 put the result beyond doubt, with Matt and Ben finishing on a 36-hole total of 149 to secure a convincing seven-shot victory.

Finishing as runners-up were defending champions Michael Carruthers and Jarrod Mann, who recorded a 36-hole total of 156.

Congratulations to Matt and Ben Dowling on a well-earned and thoroughly deserving championship victory.

One of golf's rarest achievements was recorded at Keperra this week, with Tim Roach making an incredible albatross on the 11th hole of the North Course. Just his second hole of the day.

For context, the odds of an amateur golfer making an albatross are estimated at around 1 in 6 million, making it significantly rarer than a hole-in-one. To put that into perspective, many golfers will witness several aces during their lifetime, but may never see an albatross.

Congratulations Tim on achieving one of the most elusive feats in golf. A truly extraordinary accomplishment. (In true modest Tim style - he didn't even think it worthy of telling the Club - thanks to his playing partner Jamie for capturing the moment).

Tonight, KCGC Gent’s Club Champion Wes Hinton will tee it up in the opening round of the prestigious St Andrews Links Trophy, one of the premier events in world amateur golf.

Contested across both the historic Old Course and the New Course at St Andrews, the championship attracts many of the world's elite amateur players and has served as a stepping stone for numerous future professionals.

Wes will be playing along with two-time Keperra Bowl Gent’s Champion Chase Oberle, who will be competing against some of the best amateur golfers from around the globe.

Good luck Wes - enjoy the experience!

Good luck to our Women's Midweek Pennant side who today are taking on Virginia GC at Royal Queensland in the final match of the season. A win or squared Match will see them win this year's Pennant. All the best to the Players and Caddies.

GO KEPERRA!!!!!
