Greg Rhodes from Coomealla has won the 2016 Victorian Seniors Championship at his local course and the Riverside Golf Club. As he acknowledged in his acceptance speech he was under pressure and any other result would have been regarded as an upset. Greg is Australia's top ranked Senior - heading the rankings last year and this year with this event being the last event for the year - and this event played on his home course.

Greg was a shot behind after 2 rounds (71, 74, 73) but his closing 73 was good enough to overtake Martin Minogue from Lakelands WA (72,72,78) and win by 4 shots with a further three shots back to fast finishing Steve Toyne from Nudgee Qld (79,74,72).

Martin Minogue had a very good event also leading the overall Nett off his 2 handicap finishing 2 shots ahead of David Taylor from Commonwealth (Nett 75,72,71) and John Reynolds from Grange SA (Nett 69,73,76).

The age category winners were 55-59 - Martin Minogue, 60-64 - Gordon Claney, 65-70 - Chris Tatt from Buninyong and 70+ Michael Jackson from Yarra Yarra.

The event was played in good weather and both courses were very well presented. The first and last rounds were played at Coomealla with the second round played at Riverside. The hospitality provided by both clubs was also terrific.coomealla10
