WHILE a little chilly, Sunday, 6 April was a perfect day for the Jubilee Golf Club to hold a special event for its sponsors. As the dew was still glistening on the freshly mowed fairways and greens, Jubilee GC president Fraser Jeffrey welcomed golfers from Albury, Wangaratta and Benalla who came to play 15 holes in an Ambrose format. These players represented a broad range of businesses including Johnsons MME, Peak Sports Physiotherapy, Bells Memorials, the Wangaratta Club, North East Fasteners, Toil and Soil, Lloyds Trailers, Ace Radio 3NE & Edge FM, Somerset Communications, Wangaratta Aluminium and Glass, Gordon Gibson Nominees, Fraser Jeffrey Finance, Pulvirenti Tiles and Think Print. Each sponsor had three golfers in their team together with one Jubilee player. While not battling for a magnificent trophy, this event was more about having fun, apart from the 13th hole, where $1000 was on the table for the golfer who hit a hole one. Jeffrey said it was a very successful day, a wonderful opportunity to show off the improvements the club has undertaken. “Our progress has a lot to do with support from our sponsors, hence it’s great to hold an event like this,” he said. “I would have loved someone to have hit a hole in one on the 13th, maybe next year we’ll see it happen.” Winners on the day were North East Fasteners with a score of 52, Think Print with a score of 54 and Somerset Communications with a score of 55. While an impressive number of birdies were scored, the ACE RADIO 3NE & Edge FM team scored the only eagle of the day.
