Upon arrival, our 18-hole players were invited to enjoy delicious coffee and breakfast before they were given the overview for the day and then separated into their team for the shotgun ambrose start.
For those who weren’t ready to take on the full course, it was wonderful to have 36 guests join us for the beginner golf lessons with the local golf professionals. They were taken through he art of putting, chipping and swinging and given some handy hints so that hopefully next time, they’ll be ready for the full course!
Congratulations to our putting and chipping winners and runners up!
Putting Winner - Lyn Francis
Putting Runner Up - Hengyue Lin
Chipping Winner - Robert Edwards
Chipping Runner Up - Wendy Bower
Once the beginner lessons and 18-holes were completed, guests freshened up and joined us back in the Club Rooms for a refreshing drink and delicious lunch, and of course to find out who the days winners were!

The third placed team of Eric McCalden, Bronwyn McCalden, Lachlan Rees and Peter Gebhardt were even par after 14 holes, with just one birdie and one bogey on the card. That all changed when they recorded three birdies in the next four holes to shoot them up the leaderboard, seeing them to finish with nett 59, less than a shot ahead of four other teams.
In contrast, our runners up were four under par after 12 holes and they were looking good for a win, until they had consecutive bogeys on their second and third to last holes. This proved to be very costly and relegated Robert Foreman, Malcolm Wicks, Julie Greenslade and Darren McInnes to second place with nett 58.87.

Our winners for the day were the lowest handicapped team by more than four shots, which meant that they would have to have a fantastic score to feature! Well, 10 under par certainly counts as a fantastic score! After two pars to start the round, they reeled off five birdies in a row before things slowed over the next seven holes with only two birdies, before three birdies in succession allowed them to finish with nett 57.17. Congratulations Matt Jacquier (1), Jake Scharenberg (10) and David Hitchcock (18).
Each Golf Day we also feature a hole-in-one charity hole where players have the chance to win a Lexus LBX! Unfortunately the LBX was not won but an amazing $2,450 was raised for the Variety Children's - thanks to all who donated! During the lunch we were also thrilled to raise another $600 through an impromptu golf bag auction, taking the total funds raised to $3,050. What a fantastic achievement!

Following the presentations, the room was full of anticipation as we drew a lucky Lexus Encore customer who would have the opportunity to go to the Lexus Melbourne Cup and play The Royal Melbourne Golf Club! Congratulations to Paul Schofield who we’re sure is very excited to attend the stunning LANDMARK by Lexus for the running of this year’s Lexus Melbourne Cup.
