With the sun finally shining on the Lithgow Golf course and golf carts allowed back on the fairways, golfers enjoyed a good day of golf although only four broke their handicaps.
The event was a stableford with the fairways still not offering any "run" and the greens very slick after the morning frost.

The best score of the day came out of A grade with the consistent Damien Marjoram (scratch) having a big day amassing 40 points.
A former club champion, Marjoram shot a round of 68 that included a double bogey on the third but it was offset by five birdies and the rest pars.
Runner up was Anthony Oldfield (5) with 37 points in what was a bit of a smorgasbord of mixed results during his round. Best scratch score again went to 2022 club champion Brock Egan (+2) with 37 points which included an eagle on the par five 15th.
Best in B grade was Trevor Cameron (17) with a score of 38, one better than runner up Dennis Wallace (10) on 37 points. Best scratch score went to Max McCann (10) with 21 points.
