Sometimes a bit of course knowledge goes a long way!
Our Course Superintendent Nathan Turner came up victorious in the 13th Annual Red Tee Challenge Day, shooting a fantastic 40 Stableford points to win on a countback from Bern Nicholls. Starting on the 11th hole in the Shotgun Start, Nathan was firing early off the red tees, quickly getting himself to 5 up on his handicap. He slowed a little on the front 9, registering 17 points in a solid display but married with the 23 on the back 9, it proved enough. Bern Nicholls was a little more consistent on her way to 40 points, 21 on the front and 19 on the back cruelly finishing second by the Countback system.
A fantastic day as always, as we had 60 players in the field on a cool & foggy morning, raising money for our Women's Golf Development Fund. This Fund continues to go toward the next generation of Latrobe Junior Girls, and further assists in attracting and retaining new women members to the game and to Latrobe.
We thank the Women's Committee for their tireless efforts in organising the day. We would also like to thank the Groundstaff team for their great efforts in setting up the course, obviously to Nathan's advantage as he won the day.
Thank you to our members for supporting this great day and we hope to see even more next year!
