The 2023 Southland Trades Golf was held on the 15th of September at the Queens Park Golf Club. The settled Southland weather of early Spring had changed days out from the tournament to the wild equinox winds of spring & it would be fair to say the course took a hammering in the week leading up. Nevertheless, a strong field had pre-entered including 5 Ambrose teams who along with walk-ups led to a pleasing 71 players in the field.
Many thanks to all the fantastic sponsors who supported the day through their generous donations of prizes and financial contributions.
Richard from Klein tools was once again onsite with his trailer BBQ & tool selection to feed the players & also provided a spot prize thank you Richard for your ongoing support.
We also welcomed one of our Major sponsors Bronwyn from ATT Apprenticeships running a chipping competition 12 of our players qualified to reach a lucky draw which was won by Paul Dodunski, Campbell Beeby & Peter Kane.
Our sponsors have been awesome this year we had Ross Burns from Schneider joining one of the Ambrose teams.
