Lexus Melbourne Cup Experience 2017 - The Royal Melbourne Golf Club

The Lexus Melbourne Cup Experience was hosted at the magnificent Royal Melbourne Golf Club, Australia's number one ranked golf course. The lucky winners were a little scared on arrival when the weather turned and the temperature dropped. Thankfully, midway through the afternoon the clouds cleared and a few of the jumpers came off!

The hard and fast course always proves hard to master, however a number of teams managed to post some great scores. In third place with a nett 57.25 was Alex Deligianis, Shane Laws, Scott & Cheryl Cunningham who had four birdies and an eagle as well as a lone bogey to post five under par. The runners up were challenged as a three ball team, but they didn't let that worry them as they shot to the lead at seven under through ten holes. Their start included a run of birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie with Barbara Wippell taking the honours for the eagle after holing a shot from 70m on the 10th hole. Unfortunately they couldn't keep the momentum going and eventually had a bogey to finish with a nett 55.5. Well done to Bob Ossey, Con Dracos & Barbara Wippell on a great round of golf. The winners on the day eased into their round with four straight pars and surely couldn't of foreseen the great run they were about to have...ten under par for their next twelve holes! Congratulations to the winners of the Melbourne Cup Experience, Brad Oliver, Tim Donnelly, Tony Taylor & Andy Bruyn.
