    2011 Albury Golf Day

    Douglas Admin - Friday, January 13, 2012

     A special thanks to all our Golf Day Sponsors.

      

    Bluescope

       Caroma

        Envestra – Natural Gas

        Enware

        Hamblin Hire

        Reece

        Rheem

        Rinnai

        Tradelink

        Vinidex

     

    We had less attendees than reply’s due to the storm a couple of days prior but still had 42 participants plus a few late comers that came for a few refreshments afterwoods.

    The 4 ball Ambrose was won by Mango, Mick, Brad and Nathan on a score of 50.5. but all participants walked away with prizes, thanks to a few closest to pins, Longest drives and lucky door prizes. The Earlier Hit off at 10 was a success, with a belly full of Bacon and eggs for Breaky/smoko and another meal at around 3 or 4 when people came in.

    One exception was one young group that found the heat too much to handle and found the 19th hole more desirable ( Walsh’y, Sauce, Oats and Sam).

    Some sponsors had some informative information that was appreciated by the plumbers and others got to chat about ways that we can all work together whilst in a relaxing atmosphere by the green grass and local Kangaroos.
