This is to be our last MDVGA Event at the Cranbourne Golf Club. We were informed early in the week that it will be a 7:45am Shotgun start with holes 1 to 12 available for us. The weather forecast was for Strong winds to come around midday, but they seemed to be there from early on. The course was in excellent condition but it was quite challenging with the strong wind gusts and the tricky greens.
We had a fantastic turn up for the final round at Cranbourne, 68 players braved the windy conditions, of which we had 1 member playing their first game Mick Connop from Heidelberg. There was also 4 Visitors, Fraser Magee from Spring Valley, Greg Craven from Rosanna, Bill Hammen and Brent Corser both from Eastwood.
