With a 20-hole composite course in play, criss-crossing multiple holes, the day generally favours the shot makers or the inventive types.

The winning pair of Dean Brown and John James are just that. With James exploring every corner of the course in a regular round and Brown’s ability to create something from nothing put to good use, a 70-6.25-63.75 was enough to hold on to victory by .25 of a shot.

Runners-up were Jeremy and Ryan Ezard, the younger of the two going agonisingly close to three wins in three weeks only to miss out by the smallest of margins. The best gross score was returned by the two, a 67-3-64.

Finishing top three were Sam Villinger and Michael 'Manga’ Mensfeld. With both feeling at home among the trees for various reasons, a 74-9.5-64.5 was returned by the polished duo.

Golf will continue right through the year without any disruptions, next week’s event will be par, with D. Love on office duty and T. Baldwin in the bar.

The Nagambie Golf Club would like to wish everyone a merry Christmas and happy new year and we hope to see more of you on the course soon.
