Mossman Golf Club will be hosting an annual event to commemorate our great mate Ian “Chisel” McCormack.  The amended date is Saturday 13 October, so get your funny hat and colourful outfit together for a fun day of Ambrose.

We have had a week of glorious weather, and 38 players competed in Tuesday’s Stableford event. The event was won by Brian MacDonald with 38 points on a count-back to Michael Gabour and Phil 
Holloway.

Nearest the pins were Wayne Soxsmith on 6, Brian on 8 and 10, Ian Steley on 13 and Kym Rowley on 17. Wayne’s impressive eagle on the 451m par 5 hole number 4, unfortunately did not qualify to win the birdie competition.
