It was a sensational sunny day at the Yarrawonga Mulwala Golf Club Resort for the annual Helping Hands Ambrose Charity Day.

A total of 120 members and guests helped raise $4,400 in support of Yarrawonga Health through the Helping Hands Program.

The funds raised will go towards the upgrade of the palliative care facility within the hospital, with art being the focus.

A special thanks goes to Rene, Jenny, Abbi and Fynn for their fantastic work selling raffle tickets and assisting with the prize presentations, and to Duty Manager Dave Murray for presenting the cheque to the Helping Hands Charity.

Thanks also goes to the terrific pro shop staff for their unwavering assistance and starting prowess, and to the grounds team for the course presentation and set-up for the day.

A further thank you goes to the Sandwedge Bar staff and bar staff for their diligent service.

YMGCR Men’s Nine Holers

With Tuesday’s game washed out, the men managed to squeeze in Thursday’s game on a very cold and saturated Executive Course, but the field was split into A and B grades because of the low number of golfers.

In A grade, Ray Douglas scored a solid 22 points to take the win, nudging Michael Hope (21) by a point, with balls going to Omar Persaud (19), Glenn “Pinky” Perkins, Artie Massey and Steve Williamson (18), and Peter Mansfield, Corny Boers and Ray Scott.

In B grade, Tony Shead continued his winning ways with 22 points to win the day from Rod “Max” Nicholl on 20, with Yarrawonga’s own Willie Nelson tribute artist Norm Prior coming in close with 19 points.

Ball prizes also went to Norm “Mussels” Moule on 18, and Digger Dunne, Frank Mundy, Ian Barton, Mick Doran and Stuart Paterson on 17 each.

It is hoped the weather will dry out so the men can play their pot round next Thursday.
