02.01.2022 A great weekend of golf at RACV Goldfields when the PGA arrived to conduct a Super 6 event. Saturday saw a qualifying round with the best professional score posted by Sam Rawlings (69), followed by Brady Watt (70) and Josh Younger (71), while the Amateurs were led by Vic Allen and Nick Pawley with 34 points each. Sunday saw the top 24 Pros and 24 Amateurs line up in 6 hole match play knockouts. These matches continued on throughout the day, with those making the finals havin...g to contest 30 holes of golf. The picture shows the finalists, from left, Andrew Kelly (Pro Runner Up), Josh Younger (Pro Winner), Tim Bessell from Kew, (Amateur Runner Up) and Michael Moeidjiantho from Wantirna South (Amateur Winner). Michael wins a spot in the Victorian PGA event with tickets to the corporate area for two days, and a whole lot more. Josh won the Pros event 1 up, after a magnificent greenside bunker shot on 18th to less than a foot, while Michael holed a 10ft putt on the 18th to win 1 up as well. The best of the locals was Tim Kelly, who made it through to the quarter finals, but unfortunately, an errant tee shot on the 17th saw him lose that hole and miss a spot in the semis. All participants were overjoyed with the course condition, and the competition format, and are looking forward to next years event. See more
