A huge field of over a hundred golfers turned out for the Australia Day Autopro 4 Person Ambrose.

We had visitors from Lalbert, Wycheproof, Neanger Park, Lakeside, Donald, Bendigo, Charlton and even two from England.

The team from Bendigo of Laine Harry, Marty Kelly, Cody Tuohey and Brendan James won the day with a great score of 62–8.2=53.8.

Runners-up the Worner family of Chris, Scott, Jess and Chayse, 66– 9.9=56.1.

In the novelty section the longest drive for the men went to Chris Worner and the ladies to Olive Spitty, nearest the line men was Cody Tuohey and the ladies Bronwyn Good.

The nearest the pins went to 3rd Gary Hayes, 5th Luke Hadfield, 9th Paul Jackson, 13th Chris Waterson and 16th Barry Gladman. Thanks to our sponsors of the day Autopro and to all golfers that made for a great day.

For Saturday golf, the hot predicted weather kept a few golfers away and thankfully it never got that hot, but we still had over 30 players for the day.

Col Wilkie (8) continued his good form to win with 38 points from Mark Henderson (25), another golfer on the improve, with 36.

Ladies’ winner was again Jenny Waterson (16) on 35 points from Donna Grant (23) 34.

In the ball pool was Mark Henderson, Brian Gibson (13) and Doug Meehan (8) both on 35, Doug Ellwood (21), Ross Nesbit (11), Donna Grant and Casey Gillen (19) all on 34.

Nearest the pins were Jenny Waterson, 3rd James Meehan Jnr, 9th Rob Fabry, 13th Wayne O’Neill and 16th Brian Gibson.

Pennant starts next weekend so let captain Jack Hewitt know that you are available.

There are more tournaments coming up so look on the board for the dates and get your teams organised. Also twilight golf is on Fridays, so please, support this and remember everyone is welcome including non-golfers.
