FROM a misty rain start, the day turned out a good day for golf – the rain stopped and it was a pleasant temperature. The two person ambrose tournament is sponsored by Lodges Bus Service of Culcairn and a field of 57 golfers played with 20 men’s pairs and eight mixed. The play flowed pretty well until a golf stick ended up in an old dead tree. It seems it took a few minutes to retrieve it from there.

Brad and Dallas Lodge won back-to-back events, having taken the trophy last year, and on Saturday won with a scratch score of 69, net 62.75. Runners up were Adam Makeham and Cameron Furze with 70/63.75. Interesting that all four golfers learnt the game at Culcairn, while living now in Albury.
Winners of the mixed two person ambrose were Stuart and Heather Lowe (Culcairn) with a scratch score of 77, net 64. Runners up were Henk van der Ven and Glenda Hoskins (Howlong members) who played a great game with scratch 68, net 64.75. A highlight for both pairs playing together was when Henk and Stuart both put their tee shot on the green, then Glenda and Heather each putted their ball into the hole to score a birdie 2 on the Par 3, 9th green! Probably the only 2 pairs playing together that both scored birdies on the day.
