Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Whitsunday Golf Club Report

The whole course was very wet, obviously, particularly, the back 9, and made for a wide variety of scores. 
 
The number of competitors was disappointing but the weather discouraged many of the regular competitors and the intermittent showers didn’t lessen during the day.

However it did make for some spectacularly bright rainbows to please the players and the April MM was completed.
