Trafalgar takes titles

Golfers enjoyed ideal conditions at Trafalgar Golf Club as 21 teams recently competed in two divisions in the Golf West Gippsland (GWG) Women's Foursomes Championships, with players from Garfield, Drouin, Warragul, Trafalgar, Moe, Morwell, Traralgon, and Churchill and Monash Golf Clubs.
With perfect weather throughout the day and a challenging course providing plenty of competition, teams delivered some excellent scoring across both scratch and handicap results.
Trafalgar golfers led the way on the day, claiming multiple honours across both divisions. Local pairs took out the scratch champions, minor scratch champions and handicap champions titles, and also finished runners-up in the scratch event.
