THE M & T Motors Junior Golf Fundraiser went off with a bang on Saturday with a record field at the Cooma Golf Club raising about $7,000 to support junior golfer and replacement greenskeeper shed.

The winners in the handicap division were Sean Smith and Fletch Jones with 62 nett, who are the inaugural winners of the Max Turner Memorial Trophy. Max was a life member and stalwart of the golf club for many, many years and had a keen interest in supporting Junior golf development. Max passed away last week and this perpetual trophy will honour his memory for years to come.

The runners-up in the handicap division were Dave Goggin and Marty Gelling with 62.25 nett and third place went to Michelle and Stuart Dean from our major sponsor M&T Motors with 62.75 nett.

In the non-handicap division James Strange and Rinsie Jamieson were the winners with 60.5 nett. The runners-up in the non-handicap were Christian Stockl and Darren Hedger with 61.75 nett. The Junior/Intermediate Prize went to Cameron Filtness and Hunter Caldwell with 62.5 nett.

Nearest the pin on hole four went to Dave Goggin, the ninth to Dom Kieler and on 11 to Ewan Murdoch from Coolamatong Snowy Mountains Country Club.

In the long drives, Charlie Filtness won A Grade, Jonah Perea won B Grade, Michelle Dean won the Ladies and Matt Weber won the non-handicap.

"We would like to thank Marcus Caldwell for all his efforts organising such a huge day, and we'd also like to say a big thank you to all of our sponsors for their incredible support," Cooma Golf Club secretary, Angela Andrews, said.

"A massive thanks also to all the volunteers who helped with the catering, the bar and the drinks cart out on the course."
