It was a great event, with just one shot separating four players for the championship.
This year it was won by Lachlan Tisma, from Queanbeyan Golf Club, with 74, 78 (152) who won by one shot from Joshua Reid, from Royal Canberra, with 80,73 (153), Mark Buick, from Royal Canberra, with 76, 77 (153) and Steve Springall with 75, 78 (153) from Warringah Golf Club.
Lachlan led from round one and made par on the last hole to secure his win. Mark Buick eagled the 18th, to move into contention, while Josh Reid bogeyed the last, to finish one off the pace.
The Callaway Demo Day was a huge success with Mollymook officially being the first club in Australia to launch the Great Big Bertha and Alpha 816 drivers. With almost $10,000 in Callaway prizes on offer for the Mollymook Open, the winners were more than happy with their trophies.
A big thank you to Ramon and his team from Turnpoint, for the presentation of the course, with excellent course reviews from all the players. Also thanks to all the members who donated their time to help with starting, spotting, marshalling, scoring and helping prepare the bunkers. Next year looks like being even bigger but, with a capacity field of 192 players this year, it was great to host the presentation within five hours of the last group teeing off on Sunday.
Good golfing this week.
