Greetings to all competitors and guests who attended the latest LONGDRIVE-SA Challenge. A great day dawned and finally we had an event that was not dampened by rain or wind! After 3 successful events in adverse wind conditions, a fine day was welcomed to produce our best event yet! With in excess of 100 six ball sets of SRIXON Distance golf balls being crashed into the distance we have seen our event grow to a point where we are ready to go to the next level. Congratulations to all competitors, members and guests who have supported the days. A crowd in excess of 50 people were on hand to witness the Main Event. With prizes such as a decoder and Cadburys hampers- not to mention our largest cash purse to date we saw 10 prizes being taken home by worthy winners. Below is a breakdown of the pre event warm up, the Main Event and the current standings in the Order of Merit (OoM) Please be aware that only members are officially on the list and should your name appear and you are not a member- the reflection of points awarded should entice you to join us straight away!
