And the winners were
By an overwhelming margin of 15 to 5, Melbourne Vets came through with a thumping win at the President’s Invitational at Gisborne Golf Course.
The game was played in sublime conditions of low 20’s and no wind. The course was in terrific condition and the games were played in the best traditions of golf. My thanks go to the 40 members who got up at 5.00am to make the trek to Gisborne. Thankfully it was all worthwhile.
Please reserve your diaries for next year when I come along looking for the next iteration of the President’s Invitational.
