The final round of the Whitsunday Concrete Constructions 3 Ball Ambrose Championship took place last Sunday, with eight teams competing on a beautifully sunny day, despite an early morning fog. The event, generously sponsored by Ritchie Atkins, was a fitting end to the three-round championship.
After a great day on the course, players gathered at Proserpine Golf Club for a BBQ and presentation, with thanks to Master Butchers Whitsunday for providing delicious food. A big shout-out to Ritchie Atkins for his sponsorship of the event.
The winners were Team Atkins—Ritchie Atkins, Mark McDougal, and Lewy Tuck—who finished with an impressive three-round total nett score of 174.16.
Runners-up were Team Cook, featuring Tina Cook, Andrew Albergo, and Mata Browne, who came close with a nett 175.33.
In third place was Team Reynolds, consisting of Darren Reynolds, Wilf Herweg, and Tiina Randmae, with a nett score of 179.
