12/09/2026 - Calderwood Valley Golf Course - MGC Vs Collingwood Hotel Challenge - 6:00am

24 players from Miranda Golf Club (MGC) and 24 players from the Collingwood Hotel (CH) teed off on a cool morning with  clear skies and a forecast of 21 degrees later in the morning..

Many thanks to Rob Guidi (MGC) and Paul Minuti (CH) for organising the days event.

The Shot-Gun Start began promptly at 6am. Tee-off was from the Blue tees.

The inaugural Challenge between MGC and the CH was won by CH 7-5 over MGC in 2026.

The fairways had a very good grass cover.

There was a 150mm preferred lie on fairways.

The greens were in good condition but still had dew on them making putting challenging.

Bunkers were in play and contained a good amount of sand.

The games were played in good spirits and many of the games were very close with CH winning by only 1 shot.

The players from MGC are looking forward to next years challenge where we hope to be more successful and take home the trophy.

The Guzzlers Cup was not awarded as the competition was Ambrose
