Everyone enjoyed the Ambrose event for Miallo State School on Sunday, and it was great to see so many juniors participating. A highlight of the day was when Bette Wells chipped in for eagle on the par 5 11th hole.

Thanks go to the hardworking organisers and the great sponsorship support from the local business community of the former Douglas Shire.
