It was great way to spend a Sunday at Kyabram Parkland Golf Club.

The nine-hole competition hit off early in great conditions with golfers aged 6-16 learning about all things golf.

Players from Rich River, Shepparton, Neangar Golf, Echuca Back-9 Golf Club, Mooroopna, Tocumwal, Cobram Barooga, Tatura, Church Hill Waverly and Myrtleford having handicaps from 6-42 played throughout the day along with non handicap golfers.

At the end of the nine-hole event two divisions sorted out the winners.

The division one winner was Morgan Lia with converted 45 points, Ashton Hubble was runner-up and Jasper Kellow was third.

Nearest the pin on the second shot went to Jackson Arnel.
