GDVGA at the recent State Championships played at Casterton

Div 2 Pennant at East Geelong on the 28th March saw Denis Moore from the Sands achieve a Hole in One on the 8th. Below is Denis pictured in the clubhouse afterwards.

Neil Palmer had an adventurous day also, replaying 6 holes after his game in a cart while attempting to locate a lost mobile phone. After many attempts at ringing it his wife answered it from home !!
