THE excitement was building early last Tuesday, as Carol Myles ladies captain of the Jubilee Golf Club warmly welcomed 86 golfers and encouraged them to enjoy the picture-perfect golf course on such a stunning autumn day perfect for golf.

These players represented most golf clubs across North Eastern Victoria, including Bright, Beechworth, Benalla, Commercial Albury, Corowa, Howlong, Jubilee, Mansfield, Myrtleford, Tarrawingee, Thurgoona, Wangaratta, Wodonga, Yackandandah and YMGCR, who travelled to Jubilee to play in the Parsons Bowl competition.

Each of the golfers played in teams of four, competing for this sought-after trophy, initiated by Ted Parsons in 1966, after being the president of the Jubilee Golf Club for 17 years from 1939 until 1955.

Later in 1956, Ted Parsons was honoured with the club’s first life membership.

Myles said it was a very proud day for Jubilee to be able to conduct this event.

"We are so thrilled to have won,” she said.

“It gives me so much pleasure to congratulate our winning team Di Murphy, Marilyn Pane, Mary Jones and Josie Fitzsimons, and to thank Rob Parsons who is the grandson of Mr and Mrs E J Parsons – Ted and Ellie, for presenting the trophy.”

A Grade winner was Jackie O’Brien from Jubilee.

B Grade winner was Ros White from Jubilee.

C Grade winner Robyn Grealy from Jubliee.
