🏌️‍♂️ 2026 SDMCC Golf Day 🏌️‍♀️

What a fantastic day out at Crows Nest Golf Club for the 2026 SDMCC Golf Day! ⛳

With 40 players battling it out for the next 12 months of bragging rights, the 4-person Ambrose format delivered exactly what we hoped for — plenty of good golf, plenty of laughs, and plenty of good-natured ribbing along the way!

There were a few special moments throughout the day, including Jonesy "planting" some special balls around the course. Three were successfully recovered by our competitors, while one was picked up by a young member of the public! 😂

🏆 Day Winners & Prize Winners
🚗 Longest Drive – Women: Kristian Rose
🚗 Longest Drive – Men: Jayden Dallinger
🎯 Nearest the Pin: Izaac, D Olm, Brenton & Lawrence
🔦 Most Lost Balls: A very respectable tie at 9 balls! The winners were rewarded with head torches to help with their future searching efforts. 😂
👕 Best Dressed: Andrew Watson, who certainly looked the part in his flamingo shirt! As the old saying goes… if you can't be a golfer, at least look like one! 🦩
🥄 Wooden Spoon: Jayden, Dan, Paul & Josh — 62.2 nett
🥈 Runners Up: Kristian, Catherine, Travis & Geoff — 55.25 nett

🏆 2026 SDMCC Golf Day Champions:
Congratulations to our youngest team — Jake, Curtis, Marcus & Izaac, who took out the day with an impressive 53.5 nett! 👏👏

A massive thank you to our wonderful sponsors and supporters:
🙏 R&O Communications
🙏 Energetic Lighting
🙏 Southern District Magpies Cricket Club
🙏 Crows Nest Golf Club

And a huge thank you to Jonesy for helping organise the prizes and cooking the BBQ, and to our fantastic drinks "ute" ladies, Jo Kingston and Rachel Smith, for keeping everyone refreshed throughout the day! 🍻

Most importantly, thanks to everyone who played, supported and donated. You all helped make it a fantastic day, and we're already hearing that everyone wants to come back next year!

We're hoping to make the SDMCC Golf Day an annual event once again. ⛳🏏

Thanks everyone — you're all awesome! ❤️🖤
