Around the Courts – 23rd April

There was plenty of action in Bunbury on the weekend with the running of the State Men’s and Women’s GC Open Singles. Beautiful weather and great company was to be had for those participating

For the 2nd time, Robyn Dart was successful in the Women’s event. The Runner up was Joyce Carbone in a tight contest with Dawn and Dale.

In the Men’s, Chris McWhirter was successful for the 5th time. A great achievement, especially when one considers he won the inaugural event in 2009. The runner up was Torben Bak with Les Holmes finishing in third place.

Many thanks to Moorabinda for hosting the event and a big shout out to all the volunteers who assisted in the kitchen and in preparing the courts. Torben also acknowledged the kind gesture of those who happily billet people coming down to play.

Not difficult to work out who this is!
