2024 VCA Golf Handicap Dobules Tournament

Congratulations to Drysdale  embers Mary Cockett and James Turton who again triumphed for the second consecutive year to win the 2024 VCA Golf Handicap Doubles tournament. Spectators were kept enthralled throughout the event  with  very close block and final matches.

Mary and James went through the competition undefeated, although closely challenged in several games.

Runners up were a new team from Williamstown of Richard Hingst and Dominic Moss who did extremely well throughout the tournament.

VCC hosted the event over 2 sun filled days with 13 teams competing. Congratulations to all teams and thanks to the many new faces and teams in this competition. We had the return to VCC of Nathan Reynolds from Yarrawonga, Dominic Moss from Williamstown and new faces Harley Knott & Heather Scott from Wodonga, Peter Binks & Marjorie McKenzie from Queenscliff/Drysdale, Christine Thick from Essendon, Sue Downie from Traralgon & Joy Mitchell from Kew.

All teams proved hard to beat and  there were many close games over the 2 days. Many will be returning home with some new skills and strategies to use in their club and  regional competitions.

Well done to all who competed and many thanks to our referees, Janet Cavanagh, Tom Dixon, Margaret Johnston and Damien Hadfield who did a wonderful job in quite warm conditions.

Next year we hope to see another field of familiar and new faces who can aim to have their names on the Handicap Double Shield.

Over the weekend we will be continuing with the VCA Handicap Singles tournament. 

Good luck to all players.
