TOOLEYBUC

LAST Sunday saw the completion of the 2021 Men’s Championship, which had been postponed due to COVID.

The Club Champion for 2021 is Ian Dodd, who also collected the Brian Connick Shield for the best net score over the championship, while the A grade handicap winner was Scott Munro.

In B grade, the winner was Bo Forster, with the Handicap Trophy going the way of Hank Van Der Veen. Congratulations to the winners and thank you to all who came along to play.

The course is in great condition and is a credit to ‘Harv’ – so why not come along and try your luck at Tooleybuc!
