A GREAT field of 58 players and perfect weather greeted the players on Friday for Beechworth Golf Club's annual Good Friday Golden Putter event.

We had visitors from Myrtleford, Jubilee, Bright, Tarrawingee, Yackandandah, Howlong, Corowa, Dederang, Warburton, Churchill-Waverley and Metropolitan.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the day a success, the Croome's for making the arvo tea, Gail Smith four organising the food for afternoon tea and the other members who brought afternoon tea.

It was a great spread.

Thanks to Jamie Dolny on the bar, also Jamie and sister Sam Dolny who organised all the raffle prizes, and everyone who worked on the course.

We are proud to say that at a rough count we raised $1881 for the Good Friday Appeal.

Now to the golf.

In the women's event Glenda Marshall (16) had a fantastic day having a great 81 off the stick for a nett score of 65 to take home the Golden Putter and once again get her name up on the honour board.

Hot on Glenda's tail was Deb Tully (25) who was only one shot behind with 66 nett.

Ball winners for the women were Gail Smith (17) 67, Margo Northey (25) 67 and Zoe Gephart (23) 69.

In the Men's event we have a new winner.

Kerin Rowbottom had a round of a lifetime carding a 60 nett off a 27 handicap.

There were two players right on his heels though, with Ben Ryder (16) 61 and Mick Deuis (26) 61.

Ben was given the nod for runner up on a countback.

Ball winners for the men were Dean Howard (14) 64, John Sheehan (12) 64, Jarryd Pritchard (4) 64, Dylan Pool (2) 66, Glenda Simmons (19) 66 and Vinnie Webb (18) 67.

In the non handicap event, Lachie Milhinch blitzed the field with an 80 off the stick, Richy Worcester was runner up with 88.

We also had a junior event and the winner was Jack Sudweeks (12) from Churchill-Waverley with 76 nett.

Nearest the pins went to Kerin Rowbottom on the 3rd, Dee Cordy and Trevor Britton on the 5th, Richy Worcester on the 7th, Graeme Cordy on the 10th, Jenny Richter and Craig Staggard on the 17th.

There were also two eagles on the day and they were by Dylan Pool on the 1st and 12th.

We as a club are proud of this event and hold it as our most important day of the year.

On Sunday we had two teams go around for a three person Ambrose.

We got a little bit wet on the back nine, but all players were happy to see a bit of rain.

The winners were Andy Croome, Dean Howard and Dylan Pool with 61/ 54.87, runners up were Jamie Dolny, Rod Shaw and George Ward with 68/59.

George Ward claimed the only nearest the pin on the 7th.
