🎄 What a fantastic day out on the course for our Xmas 4‑Person Ambrose! The atmosphere was relaxed, the groups were buzzing, and the scoring was tight right across the field.

A brilliant way to celebrate the season together.

🏆 Winners
The standout performance came from the team of Nathan Simpson, Liam Henzell, David Williams and Shane Vanderlight, who combined beautifully to post an impressive 53.1 off a team handicap of 6.88.

Hot on their heels were Nathan Smith, Kyle Harrison, Aaron Garland and Paul Dickison, finishing with 53.5 off 6.5. Terrific scoring from both groups.
