Annual Golf 3 Day Event 2019 – Rich River
Our major 3 night golf trip, which this year was to the Rich River Resort at Echuca/ Moama, was attended by 26 members. Unfortunately, at the last minute, 4 of our members succumbed to medical or urgent house purchase/sale requirements. The remainder enjoyed 2 days of golf, a putting competition, a welcome BBQ, and a beautiful meal in the Corporate Dining room of the Resort.
The winners were:-
Howlong Country Club Trophy Garry Sebo
Warburton Heirloom Trophy Geoff Carlson
Bill Gillingham Putting Trophy John Pound
Perpetual Aggregate Trophy Geoff Carlson
There were various other winners of Nearest the Pin, and Longest Drive.
Altogether, a most enjoyable number of days with good golf and socialisation.
Thank you John and Louise Pound for all your effort and for running such a great event

Victoria Cup 2018
The annual contest for the Victoria Cup took place at the Keysborough Golf Club on Friday November 9th with 16 players.
The criteria for teams has now been changed to enable more challengers by making the competition four ball better ball (i.e. two man teams), and three clubs were represented.
The Victoria Golf Club team of Andy Coogan and Gus Bravo blitzed the field with a score of plus 8, and Alan Stevens and Phillip Rowell, also representing the Victoria Golf Club, were runners up with plus 5
Geoff Carlson from Southern Golf Club hit the pin but sadly missed a hole in one, but easily took out the nearest the pin prize.
We anticipate that next year, the criteria will be further modified, to enable even more participation in the event
