A great field of keen and enthusiastic golfers challenged for the end of year Callala Stableford Champion spot which was on offer.
To the winners, congratulations, and to the rest of us bad luck but we are left to lament our golf over the year that was 2018.
Great news for 2019 with the introduction of Twilight Golf at Callala between 1pm and 3pm Monday to Friday: 18 Holes for just $50 for two players with motorised cart.
Andrew Kozinski was the man of the moment playing consistent golf to record his rewarding win with 40 stableford point and taking his place at the top of the podium.
Second, third and fourth all came home with 38 stableford points which of course introduced them to the dreaded count back.
Visitor Graeme Humphrys was declared the official second place winner.
Third home was Peter Thorpe. Fourth home was Dave Dickeson.
The South Nowra Golf Exchange 11th hole again proving difficult and again no player was lucky enough to win the bucks on offer. Come along to next Saturday to win the $150 for that one great or lucky shot.
Nearest the Pins:- 10th Hole Andrew Kozinski, 14th Robert Audsley & 16th Rob Jerman.
