Golfers go for gold

October 10, 2024

Just about the only sport happening around Oberon on the weekend of October 5 and 6 was golf, but that wasn't a surprise as nothing seems to put golfers off.

Thirty-eight payers took to the field on Saturday, October 5, for our monthly medal Stroke event, and even though it was sunny the wind still gave them a run for their money.

Grade A Winner Drew Burden took the field later in the day and came out on top with a score of -1, also being the scratch ball winner. He took out Luke Christie-Johnston whose end score was Even par. Luke might have come second for the comp but won the Monthly Medal!

Winning is a serious business. Photo supplied
