KILMORE Golf Club earlier this month hosted its seventh annual Par Three Day, with a large attendance taking advantage of the autumn weather for a day of golf and entertainment.
Hosted as an event open to players with or without a Golf Australia handicap, the day saw more than 110 players take part from Kilmore and other clubs in the surrounding area.
Players competed to win not only the main competition prizes but also $200 on each hole for nearest the pin, a car from sponsors Kilmore Toyota for a hole-in-one on the second hole, and $1000 from Kingsgate Retirement Village for a hole-in-one on the seventh.
Kilmore Golf Club president Bea Lay said the day was an opportunity for all players to socialise while having fun with the sport.
“This annual par three event demonstrates just what the Kilmore Golf Club is about,” she said.
“A local club which welcomes all sorts of players, male and female golfers, experienced golfers who regularly play competitive golf, as well as social golfers who don’t have a handicap but enjoy playing golf when it fits in with their commitments to work and family life.”
Major prize winners on the day were Duncan Griffiths in A Grade, Andrew Young in B Grade, Jill Banon for Ladies, and Barry Kemp for non-handicap.
The group were also treated to a sausage sizzle and afternoon tea, and took part in the $150 ‘hit the keg’ challenge on the course, organised by club member Molly Bell to provide a change of pace for the players during their game.
