Lexus of Cairns Golf Invitational 2018 - Palmer Sea Reef

The Lexus of Cairns Golf Invitational Golf Invitational moved back to Palmer Sea Reef in Port Douglas after some years away. The move proved to be successful with just under 100 guests enjoying the day and the beautiful weather that went along with it. 

Most teams found the course challenging, and with birdies hard to come by, it would come down to some good shots and good fortune here and there. The difference between second and third place was a mere 0.875 of a shot. Finishing with a nett 56.5 in third place was the team of Peter Wundersitz, Janice Wundersitz, Say Choo Lim & Glenn Abbott, who after a steady start were even par after twelve holes before they managed to get two birdies on the closing stretch. The runners up, in contrast started well to be four under par after five holes, until run of bogeys slowed their momentum. They managed to finish with a three under score to secure the second place finish. Well done to Gordon Massey, Noeleen Massey, Chris Marsh & Alex Martins who finished with 55.625. Our winners, however were never in danger after posting a ten under round that included five straight birdies to finish. Congratulations to Peter Strangman (17), Michael Reyes (6), Nils Thomson (27) & Jim Thomson (27) who had a nett 51.375 to win by more than four shots.
