Country VETS win the Bruce Rowley Shield!
Posted on: 4 April
The Country Vs City Challenge was held yesterday Monday 03 April 2017 at the Bunbury Golf Course. It was an absolute pleasure to play at the Bunbury Golf Course this year, with many people remarking on the immaculate greens and fairways!
The challenge consisted of 130 VETS this year, 60 City VETS and 70 Country VETS.
Congratulations to the Country VETS who won the competition this year. It was a close run with 13 points between the two, City on 740 and Country winning with 758 (top 20 scores from each team). Well done gents!
The Country VETS organised a fantastic day, with a sausage sizzle (sausage and bun, vegemite scrolls, and sweet pastries) being provided after the 9th hole, and a Make You Own Burger station before the presentation. The Country VETS funded the majority of the prizes, with the City VETS also donating three dozen balls for the event.
We are now tied with one win for City VETS in 2016, and one to Country VETS this year. It looks like next year will be an interesting challenge! Looking forward to it!

CITY VS COUNTRY VETS CHALLENGE
Monday 3rd April saw a good field of 130 golfers representing over thirty metropolitan and SW clubs do battle for the City versus Country veteran’s golf challenge. With perfect weather and the course in fantastic condition (lauded by many of the visiting golfers) the SW gained the upper hand and won the shield 758 points to 740 (top 20 scores from each team). A great time was had by all and there are many people to thank for helping out during the day. Special mention must go to Tom Farrer who manned the barbecue all day and did a sterling job for lunch and tea. Grant Brookes wore his apron with distinction in the kitchen and was indispensable and Les Horrobin in the scorer’s tent made it all possible. Thanks go to the many others from the ground staff to the ladies behind the bar.
