SOUTHBROOM MIXED AMATEUR CLASSIC 2014

11 and 12 October 2014

Our Inaugural Mixed Classic was a resounding success and a big thanks to all the players who supported the event. We had a number of locals but the bulk of the support was from up country members and out of town visitors, always good Southbroom Ambassadors!

Congratulations to the winners, the top 10 being:

The weather prediction was not good but all that eventually arrived was a strong wind as thankfully the rain bypassed us!

Day One was the Greensomes Stableford Format with a solid breeze from the north. The only team that mastered the conditions was Bob & Allyson Thomas with 41 points and a 5 point lead. Greensomes is not an easy format with many decisions to be made along the way and a good test to any relationship.

After a tough Day 1, the players then relaxed with a putting clinic and snacks on the Patio. And later all the players and partners were in great spirits for the Ebony & Ivory Evening on Saturday Night. A fabulous dinner was served and then all danced up a storm with great music from popular Billy the Skit. A great party was had by all.

Thanks to Deanne Purtell & Lauren Curlewis from The Three Black Dresses Event Management Company who did a fantastic job of setting up the clubhouse each day which both set the tone and really added to the tournament. Starting with The Mad Hatters Cocktail party on Friday night to the classy but casual prize giving lunch on Sunday, Well done Ladies and also to the Mixed Classic Committee.
Many tender heads turned up on Sunday morning for Round Two shot gun Better Ball Stab format. The wind picked up again, but this time from the South for a sneaky change. Team Thomas did enough to hold on with 42 BB points for a total of 83 and just managed to keep ahead of a charging Gus & Margi Bonini who finished on 81 followed by 3rd Anton & Louise Leal on 80!

Many thanks to all the Southbroom members who helped make the weekend a success, to all the Sponsors who we so appreciate and also to Gary, Rene & Deanne Purtell of Realty1 on the 10th tee, Dave Page of Coral tree Colony on the 13th tee and Midea Air Conditioners & South Coast Refrigeration and Airconditioning on the 1st hole, for manning their holes which really added a special touch for the players.
