Senior Team Selection
For all Australian Senior Teams, players must:
• be an Australian citizen;
• be a member of a currently-affiliated golf club; and
• if relevant, satisfy particular tournament eligibility criteria (in the conditions for the tournament for which a player is being considered for selection).
Note: The GA Championship Committee reserves the right to veto a selection, including “automatic selections”, where, in its absolute discretion, it feels a player’s record, behaviour, disciplinary history or participation is not in the best interests of the game or the relevant event.

• Top four (4) players from the Australian Senior Rankings as at time of selection

The two players selected at the discretion of GA will be required to meet the following criteria:
