Out and about

HAMILTON golfers have been playing in a number of events across the region with some very good success.

Lyn O’Brien has been a consistent performer in the winning circle, combining with Gillian Jenkins, Sue Morse and Mary Burger to win the Lake Bolac Irish Stableford Day. 

O’Brien then combined with her sister, Liz Nichol, and two friends from Warrnambool to win an ambrose day, before also being part of the winning team in Heywood Golf Club’s Opal Shield event.

Today’s event is stableford for both men and women.

Good hitting and enjoy the 19th hole.
