The inaugural Kooringal Senior Amateur has been run and won. It was a great start to the new Doug Bachli Senior season – the weather was perfect, the course was in great condition and the club did an excellent job organizing the event – a resounding success. There were many positive comments from players about the course and the value for money – the 2 course lunch was excellent. There was a good field of 77 with 18 new faces and the field will no doubt be even better next year.
A bonus was the special guest speaker Kevin Hartley (a Kooringal member) a Victorian and Australian great Amateur golfer who enlightened the audience with facts and personal reminiscences about Doug Bachli as well as his own career.
Special mention to regular John Hoare from Trafalgar who had a ‘day out’ on the Wednesday with a 78 off the stick – nett 61!
