3rd BRG Handicap Day - August 10 2007 - Gallery & Results
The third Bushranger Golf Handicap Day was held at The Creek Course at 13th Beach Golf Links in Barwon Heads as a prelude to the 2007 William Buckley Classic. In a tight contest, Michael Mileo won the event with 38 hard earned stableford points in tough conditions. His main challenge came from Roger Brown and Ash Brown (no relation), who both finished one point back on 37 points, a tight and perhaps fortunate result, especially considering that Arbeige took four to get down from just short of the testing 18th green. On a count back, Ash took out second place, relegating Roger to third.
In a tight contest, 10 players finished within 6 points of the winner. Three players were tied on 36 points, just out of the podium positions. They were new member and first time BRG entrant, Jean-Max Joly from Geelong, experienced campaigner Paul Lambe, and tournament host, Pw Jones. Below are the results and final placings.

We were pleased to welcome several players with new BRG Handicaps and a number more who are in the process and will have their handicaps finalised in time for our next event. The next BRG event is the 4th Handicap Day on September 8th at the Sandringham Golf Links. This event will revert back to a strokeplay format after the stableford bonanza of the William Buckley Classic weekend.
