Despite some challenges with the weather it was a great weekend. Thanks to everyone, including sponsors, for another successful classic.
It topped off a huge weekend for the club with the Blind Footy Tipping dinner on Friday night, which attracted a big crowd and lots of interest after a COVID-induced break.
In other golfing results for the week, the ladies played versus par last Thursday, won by Anita Gorsuch +3, from runner-up Ann Bull +1.
Wednesday’s men’s stableford field was decimated by the inclement weather and a very wet golf course.
Of the few who braved the conditions, the best score was Anthony Erickson with 37 points, from runner-up John Radeski 31.
Coming up, we have The Scramble tomorrow, which is a four-person ambrose.
Local winners move on to the regional final, and if successful the national final.
Sunday is the Tee Up For Cancer charity day, which again is four-person ambrose.
It has attracted a big field, but there are still a few spots available.
Get your team together and support this great cause and Vince Kelly’s participation in the Tour de Cure bike ride.
Raffles continue tonight with meals available.
Tickets are on sale from 6pm with draws from 7.30.
