Sydney City Lexus Golf Invitational - September 2018 - The Lakes Golf Club

The Sydney City Lexus Golf Invitational was held at the home of the 2018 Australian Open, The Lakes Golf Club. As usual, the course was in fantastic condition and together with the weather looking after us, everyone was in for a great day. 

Scoring is typically tough at The Lakes (particularly when the wind comes up), but that said, there were some great scores on the day. In third place was the team of Joseph Dinh, Lam Dinh, Rod Miller & Christopher Longhurst, who were one under after their first twelve holes and must have been wondering if they were ever going to make a move. Well, it did eventually happen when they had three birdies in a four hole stretch to finish with a nett 58.125. Over two shots better were Dean Smith, Eric Lieu, Greg Jones & Virginia Younger after they shot a fine 66. They must have thought they were in for a long day though, after they started par, bogey, bogey! However, six birdies and a closing eagle over the next fifteen holes slotted them into second place with nett 55.875. Our winners finished with a nett score of 54.625 and were just over a shot ahead of their closest rival, but, like those teams mentioned above, they started slowly compared to what was about to happen. They were two under through their first seven holes until they tore the back nine apart with five birdies and an eagle. They could even afford the luxury of a bogey on their second last hole! Congratulations to Trevor Shipley (1), Glenn Garrett (22), Glenn Meneses (18) & Stuart Grieve (24).

Funds were raised on course for the Randwick Children's Hospital. Thank you to all those who donated as we raised $1,840. Guests also had the chance to win a Lexus with a hole in one on the 18th hole. Unfortunately, no one was lucky enough to hit the perfect shot, however it did make for some good viewing! See all the attempts below:


Thirteen guests also enjoyed the beginner golf lessons with Christian and Charles, the two local professionals. 

No one was more excited at the end of the day when Greg Barnes' name was drawn out as the winner of the Lexus Melbourne Cup Experience. Not only was Greg first to arrive on the day, he was amongst the last to leave after the win.
