BRG Handicap Day - May 25 2008 - Gallery & Results

The fourth Bushranger Golf Handicap Day for 2008 was held at the Goonawarra Golf Club in overcast but calm conditions with just a zephyr of breeze bobbing up on the opening holes. At the finish, after all the Bushrangers had holstered their weapons, Paul Toll had made off with a thrilling one-shot victory. He piled on a tremendous nett 7 under par 65 to hold off the fast finishing Big Mick Van Raay and new member Rod Piper who finished tied for 2nd with nett 6 under par 66. The suave Seve Mileo sidled in to fourth place with a focussed display of ball-striking and BRG Player of the Year leader Warwick "Boo" Sonehouse tied with new member Richard Bastow for fifth. The final results are below and the standings for the BRG POY have been updated.

The next BRG event will be the 5th Handicap Day for the year at Eynesbury Golf Course on Saturday June 14 from 10:00 am.
