The Lithgow Golf Course was a busy place to be with a big field contesting a single stableford plus the running of the Mixed Foursomes sponsored by LJ Hooker Lithgow with golfers being met with some slick greens.
It was good to see a number of visitors enjoying the picturesque Lithgow course and two really had a good day taking out two of the three grades.

Marshall had a strong back nine with a par nine 22 points and was particularly happy after beating his father Michael and uncle David by a large margin.
