Despite the ongoing heat, 14 players teed it up for Wednesday’s mid week Nine Hole competition. 

The in-house Katherine competition meets weekly and this round saw Dennis Coburn claim victory with 22 points, winning in a count back from runner up Brett Hughes on 22 points. 

Mark Lewis’ golden shots cemented his place as winner of the Men’s Long Drive.

Simon Smith’s 6th hole shot was just as impressive, with his tee shot also coming to rest closest to the hole. 

The $1000 hole in one prize, the players are competing for, is yet to be taken out.

ISKO Pty Ltd and DPR Insurance Brokers, we couldn’t hold our weekly competition without your ongoing support,” owner of the 12-month-old Pro Shop Mark Lewis said. 

“A big thanks also goes out  to the Katherine Country Club for after match snacks.”
