It was perfect weather conditions for the 46 golfers, who enjoyed a delicious breakfast cooked up by Peter and Trevor Mawhinney from Grenfell Commodities before starting off to play 18 holes of golf. 

The Grenfell Country Club would like to acknowledge Grenfell Commodities for putting on this Ambrose and for the donations of gifts.

First with 55 2/3 points were John Grant, Brett Bembrick and Glenn Beasley.

Second place went to John Hocking, Greg Fanning and Trent McCann with 56 5/6 points and third place went to Steven Walker, Shaun Logan and Alan Logan. 

The longest drives were won by Martin Starr for the men and Isabelle Holmes for the ladies.

Balls were awarded to 60 &1/3 or better. The golfers would like to thank Peter and Shirley Mawhinney for sponsoring such a great fun day. The barbie brekky and high tea went down a treat.

Duty persons for this Sunday’s Meat Raffle are Grant Simpson and Jono Baker.

The Riverina Super Draw went to Grenfell and unfortunately Lyle Walker wasn’t present to claim his prize, so it will jackpot to $1200 for tonight.
