Whitsunday Golf Club: Results from June 23, 2024

It was a cool start to a beautiful sunny day at Proserpine Golf Course last Sunday, where eight teams competed in the 2 Ball Ambrose. The competition was tight, with close scoring among the top four teams. Highlighting the event, Brendon Meharry achieved an Eagle’s Nest on the 13th hole with a drive landing within one meter of the hole, providing excellent practice for the upcoming Mark Nicol Memorial 2 Ball Ambrose on July 21.
Darren Reynolds and Scott Vlismas emerged as winners with a score of 65.75. David Hoy and Paul Nicol were runners-up with 66.75 after a countback, while Tiina Randmae and Wilf Herweg secured third place.
Nearest to the Pin (NTP) prizes, sponsored by the Reef Gateway Hotel, went to Karen Rix, Jo Moynihan, and Anna Winterbourn for the ladies, and Don Cameron, Brendon Meharry, and Ron Jamieson for the men. Brendon Meharry also earned a box of balls for his Eagle’s Nest on the 13th.
Don Cameron and Karen Rix received the NAGA honors, with a drink courtesy of Aaron and Tracy Watts from RADS Whitsunday. The raffle meat tray was won by Pam Casey.
Next week’s competition will be a Stableford. Upcoming fixtures include a Single Stableford on June 30, the Monthly Medal on July 7, and the Mark Nicol Memorial 2 Ball Ambrose on July 21. Note that there will be no WGC competition on August 4 due to the PGC Men’s Open.
