Golf open success
MORE THAN 130 golfers from across North Queensland made their way to the Mareeba Golf Club recently for their biggest event of the year – the Mareeba Open.
Club member Michael France said they struggled to get everyone on the course, with golfers teeing off every seven minutes from 7am until dusk on both Saturday and Sunday.
“It was just such a good weekend, with heaps of good results and a lot of personal bests,” he said.
“We didn’t have any hole-in-ones or anything like that, but everyone was having a good day. The sun was out and there were lots of stories being shared at the clubhouse.”
The Men's open champion was awarded to Scott Sibson, who travelled all the way from Home Hill for the event, while Mossman’s Michelle Field took out the Ladies Open Championship.
A Grade Gross winner was local Michael Benjak, and the A Grade Nett winner was Jarrod France.
The B Grade Gross winner was D. Bradley, while the B Grade Nett winner was awarded to Kelvin Groves.
In C Grade, D Crane took out the Gross winner, alongside Net winner Luke Russo.
In the ladies Division One, Jacqui Lamber took out the Gross winner, while K Harper took home the Net winner.
In Division Two, the Gross winner was Melody Broad and the Nett winner was Enid Leonard.
For the Men's Senior division, the Gross winner was Peter Prinsloo and the Nett winner was D Crane.
