Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Proserpine Vets

Eighteen veteran golfers made the journey to Collinsville for the Whitsunday Group fixture, where they were greeted by glorious weather and an exceptionally maintained course, cared for entirely by volunteers. The course featured different grasses and surfaces compared to Proserpine, with thicker grass near the greens that caused the ball to stop abruptly.

A total of 52 players competed in the event, and the Proserpine team performed impressively. Craig McLean claimed first place overall with a fantastic 43 points. Peter Fox followed in fourth place with 36 points, and John Roser secured sixth place with 34 points.

In the ladies' competition, Elspeth Scotford emerged as the overall winner with 38 points. Leanne Alexander continued her strong performance from the Club Championships, where she won the A Grade, by finishing third with 34 points. Tiina Randmae took sixth place with 30 points. Elspeth Scotford, Gary Scotford, and Peter Fox also achieved several pin shots throughout the day.

Congratulations to all the players for their excellent performances. The next event on the calendar is the September Monthly Medal.
