Whitsunday Golf Club's 3-Ball Ambrose Championship Continues With Exciting Round Two

Last Sunday, Whitsunday Golf Club hosted the second round of the three-part 3-Ball Ambrose Championship, sponsored by Whitsunday Concrete Constructions. Despite a brief early sprinkle, conditions remained perfect for the competition.
In this round, eight teams competed fervently, with Sally Little stepping in for the traveling Robyn Whitham on Team Watts. The teams vied closely, but Team Reynolds clinched the top spot with a score of 57.667, narrowly edging out Team Watts who scored 57.833. Team Atkins claimed third place with a score of 58.333.
Highlights of the day included Darren Reynolds winning an Eagles Nest for his exceptional shot on the 16th green. Nearest to the Pin (NTP) accolades went to teams Winterbourn, Butchers, Atkins, and Reynolds. The longest drives were impressively hit by Anna Winterbourn, Jo Moynihan, Darren Reynolds, and David Hoy.
Next week, the club will host the June Monthly Medal and Least Putts competitions. Participants are urged to register early between 6:30 and 7:30 AM, and to activate the putt count feature on their MiScore app.
Please note, there will be no WGC competition on Sunday, June 9, due to the PGC Ladies’ and Men’s Foursomes event. Members are encouraged to prepare for another thrilling round of golf the following week at Whitsunday Golf Club.
