Four teams were vying for the major prize of the grand final of the Forbes GC Summer Sixes competition for 2021-22 on Sunday.
The final scores saw the teams separated by less than 2 strokes and required a count back.

The plate winners were ‘Corn Stars’ with ‘Part Time Putters’ as runners-up. The ‘Golfie’ team will join Head Pro Adam Demidjuk on a golf trip to the Hunter Valley.
At the presentation dinner, club president Tony Cogswell thanked the sponsors – Bernardi Group, Flannery’s Pharmacy, BWR and Golf Harvest – for their support. He also thanked all the participants for making this another successful year, despite the interruptions by the flood event.
