There’s a golfing bonanza at the Lancefield course this Sunday, with a guaranteed payout of $100 on 18 different holes, plus the chance to win $500 and a full golf club membership for 12 months for a specific hole-in-one.
This goes with the two-person Ambrose event over the approved par 3 course, and golfers from far and wide, even if you don’t have a registered handicap, are encouraged to participate.
“We couldn’t stage this special day without the generous support of the Lancefield and Romsey Community Bank (Bendigo Bank),” club president Glen Holland said.
The bank’s senior manager, Angela Dickins, said this was yet another example of the bank getting right behind local and community bodies, recognising their beneficial involvement.
“We support the community in many ways, and invite local residents to visit or contact our branches at Lancefield and Romsey and learn how we can help them,” Ms Dickins said.
There’s already been plenty of interest shown in Sunday’s extravaganza, with hit-off scheduled from 10am to 10.30am.
Ambrose entry is $25 per person (includes barbecue) with prizes for the winning team and runners-up.
Par 3 days have proved popular at different venues in the past.
Having 18 chances to finish nearest the pin and win $100 on every hole if your ball finishes the closest is a real challenge to many, irrespective of their golfing skills.

If you haven’t got a handicap, one will be allocated for the day.
The day will also serve as an important fundraiser for the club, which is continually trying to improve the course and promote the sport.
Refresher tuition for juniors organised by Andrew Hall takes place on the course next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
