Lexus of Blackburn Golf Invitational

16 September 2024

Royal Melbourne Golf Club

The Lexus Blackburn Golf Invitational was held at the number one course in the country, Royal Melbourne. Despite a cold start and the odd sprinkle of rain, clients thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to play at Royal Melbourne.

In the end, only 0.37 of a shot separated the top two teams. The third placed team of Darren Eames, Josh Eames, Nat MacDonald & Andrew MacDonald had a tough start and were two over after three holes.

After a few steadying pars they had settled into their round and made five birdies and no more bogeys to finish with nett 58.25. In contrast, the runners up started with two birdies and must have been thinking about what would lie ahead. That was quickly sorted out when they bogeyed their very next hole! Momentum was then regained and they recorded six more birdies and another bogey to finish with nett 56.37. Well played, Sam Skillbeck, Doug Bogdanovic, Eleni Grivas & Louie Grivas.

The winners shot the lowest score of the day with nett 56. Congratulations James Cook (5), Paul Kinsey (18), Alan Tang (23) & Braham Pitt (18). For the full results from the day, please click on the button below - 'Download All Results'.
