Duo defends title
WHITSUNDAY GOLF: Thirty-two Whitsunday golfers experienced their first taste of our "winter” last Sunday when they played the Mark Nicol Memorial Trophy competition - a two-ball Ambrose, this format was always Mark's favourite game.
Weather was dry and cool with very blustery conditions leading many balls astray.
