Swainger was also the day’s A-grade winner on Saturday, and runner-up was Ross Taylor net 70.

The B-grade winner was Jen Choice with a sensational round of net 62 from runner-up Carol Hardman, and C-grade winner was Susan Butcher 71 on countback to Prue Chalmers.

As mentioned, in last Thursday’s stroke event Pauline Davis won A-grade on countback to Shandra Simpson, and B-grade winner was Jayne Hood net 71 on countback to Ann Bull.

On Wednesday, the A-grade winner was John Penna with 40 stableford points on countback to Peter Astill, and B-grade winner was in-form Ken Pearce with 41 points on countback to another form golfer in Jayne Hood.

Deniliquin Golf Club will host its annual Pro-Am as part of the PGA Legends Tour for the third consecutive year, on Monday, October 27 and Tuesday, October 28.

In the Pro-Am on the Tuesday, three amateur players team up for a 3-person ambrose competition, while their paired PGA Professional plays a traditional stroke round.

This offers a fun and competitive day on the course for both amateurs and professionals.
