Olympics come to Bairnsdale | Golf East Gippsland Inc.

On Wednesday 8th May the Victorian Olympic Council attended Bairnsdale to deliver the ASPIRE program to 200 year 5 & 6 students from primary schools from Bairnsdale, Paynesville & Lakes Entrance. Hosted by Steve Moneghetti, 5 Olympic sports, Basketball, Soccer, Athletics, Badminton & Golf were showcased to the students with every student participating in each sport. A number of past and present Olympians were also on hand to assist and encourage those present. The golf program was conducted by Olivia Kline, (Golf Australia) who is one of Victoria's top amateur players. She was assisted by Brett Wyllie (EGDGA Junior coordinator) & Johanna Wyllie. The Golf was extremely well received and hopefully some of the students will seek out further tuition from their local clubs & help grow the game in our area.
