Our 3 day golf event started around 1994 with a small group headed by Bill and Mary Gillingham. They played at the Howlong Country Club.
The event expanded and became a major part of our Probus year. Organisers over the years included Alan Nash, Rod Murrell and finally Geoff Wade who ran it for some 7 years.
