Congratulations to the team of Hannah Mannion and Jannie Ebersohn who won the Airbus Day on a counback from Brendon O\'Connor and Franck Michaud. Both pairs scored a combined total of 60 points in difficult, windy conditions. Well done! Coming in third was the pairing of Kevin Howe and Liam Hanlon on 56 points. Nearest the pins were won by Barbora Pruherova (2nd), Hannah Mannion (7th), Liam Hanlon (12) and Mark Vipond (17).

Many thanks again to Airbus who kindly provided the sponsorship for the day - it continues to be an excellent day out both for the golfers and for the families!

The new format for the Transguard Golf Day seemed to challenge many of the players on Friday at the Creek. However, Liam Hanlon and Jon Yuregir�s combined total of 48 points were enough to see off the opposition. In second place, on 45 points, were the pairing of Marnus du Plessis and Arne Bardenhost. Graham Millard and Iqbal Ismail came third with a score of 41 points.

We also had a hole-in-one! Sebastian Hall aced the third - many congratulations! Other nearest-the-pins came from Thomas Viallaneix (8th), Luke Gregori (14th) and Dave Summerson (16th).

Many thanks to Transguard for their continued support. It was another excellent event!
