#AMG last day awards many gold medals
The Australian Masters Games Golf program 2019 is closed today (Friday, October 11) in the attractive park-like setting of West Lakes Golf Club, nestled in the outskirts of Adelaide.
102 players from 61 different golf clubs from all over Australia have prepared for the ultimate golf challenge of the week, the battle competition in which gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded for both gross and net (handicap reduced) scores over the nine different age, gender and handicap categories.
On another beautiful and sunny day in Adelaide, a southern breeze again caused difficult scoring conditions. The best score for the men's battle was returned by Ross Clark of Riverside with an 81 in the Men & # 39; s 60-69 A Division group, while The Grange & # 39; s Libby Broomhead had the best score for the women's battle with a 92 in winning the Women & # 39; s 60-69 A Division group.
The best overall net (handicap reduced) score of the day was by Sue Lewis from Bayview, who had a 69 out of 36 handicap in the Women & # 39; s & # 39; s 60-69 B Division group. Wendy Cousins of Moora Lake View in Western Australia ended the week when she started and today won battle and net gold medals at West Lakes to take her gold medal from Monday's opening Melbourne event at The Grange.
