Last weekend, the Cowra Golf Club proudly hosted the NSW Country 2-Man Ambrose Championships, thanks to the wonderful sponsorship from Datavoice Communications, Cowra Subway, Cowra Cellarbrations, Cowra Plaster Works and Cowra Scooter World.

The tournament drew praise from a great number of the players, who really seemed to enjoy the format, the course, the hospitality of our club and the new feature of the Cowra Subway Shootout on Saturday afternoon.

One pair especially enjoyed their weekend; defending champions Peter Kirwan and Mick Jordan didn't just put up a good title defence, they lapped the field in a tournament record score of 20-under-par!

Peter and Mick chalked up their second consecutive title by an impressive 10 shot margin from another local pairing, Championship Runners-Up Darren and Kane Brooks.

In what turned out to be a "Cowra-Clean-Sweep" of the major prizes, the pairing of Dion McAlister and Simon MacKinney won the nett event, with Ken McLean and Dub McDonald managing to finish runners-up.

In its inaugural year, Ken McLean took out the Cowra Subway Shootout, from yet another local golfer, Wayne Rue.

Mark and Les Pinkerton along with Leigh Browne and Jono Gee were also successful with wins in two of the daily events.

Sunday 11-hole Social Competition

At just $13 per player, the Sunday 11 hole competition is still the cheapest, easiest and best way to get into golf.

It is called a "competition," but you don't need to be good at golf, generous handicaps are applied, and you don't need to be a member of the club.

Please contact the Golf Shop on 6342 1211 for any further information.

Dress Regulations

ALL golfers are reminded that t-shirts without collars, tracksuit pants, dirty work clothes/boots, footy clothing etc. are NOT acceptable on the Cowra Golf Course at ANY time, whether it be for competition play, social golf, or just a bit of practice.
