Friendly Competitions on the Green @ Proserpine Veterans Golf Club

On Tuesday, 19 November, the Proserpine Veterans Golf Club hosted a fun-filled day on the course with a 2-ball Ambrose competition, with one team playing as a 3-person group. Despite the hot weather, 33 enthusiastic players took to the course, each required to use a minimum of six drives per player. The camaraderie and competitive spirit were high, as everyone enjoyed the challenge.

A special prize was awarded to the 3-ball team, recognising the slight advantage of having an additional player on their side. The rest of the field played in the standard 2-ball category.

Results:
   • 3-Ball Team Winners: Allison McKenzie, Allan Clinch, and Phil Luckett
