Nyngan golfers Greg Matheson and Annette Webster have won the Keno Mixed Ambrose Regional Final in Gunnedah on Sunday, November 2 with an impressive score of 61.5 nett (8.5 shots under handicap).
The pair shot 73 off the stick, with 11.5 strokes reduced factoring in their handicaps.
Greg and Annette won on countback from Longyard GC (Tamworth) pair Mark and Aleah Haestier, who were officially second (61.5, -8.5) with the same nett score as the Nyngan duo. Karen Poulter and Gavan Seaman (Tooraweenah Golf Club, 65, -5) finished third.
The Nyngan duo’s victory secures a place in the state final at Bonville Golf Club later this year - a fantastic achievement for both players.

Regional finals in men’s, women’s and mixed categories were held at Corowa, Port Kembla, Gunnedah, Forster Tuncurry, Muirfield, Merewether, Queanbeyan, Cabramatta, Dubbo, Pambula-Merimbula, Yamba and Forbes.
