Gippsland Super 6 with $200k prize money was run and won on Saturday in Warragul.

A kiwi won, Kerry Mountcastle ($32k) but one of the bigger names in the field was Jake McLeod who took down second for $20k.

Next up is the Vic PGA Champs, might head down there this weekend if the weather is good.

You've left off The Dunes Sunday Wackers comp.
8-12 blokes of varying ability from not bad to pretty s**t
If anyone wants to come down and help look for balls in knee high, snake infested rough, you're most welcome

I'm actually due for a round again. Pity I get the call up on a Saturday arvo when someone pulls out.

 

[iDon]

Current leader board here.

Think you can watch this on Kayo tomorrow.

Kazuma is a fresh professional from NZ.

Believe the best credential player in Micheluzzi (killed it last aussie summer) is in the hunt. Scott Strange is a blast from the past too.

 

[iDon]

Exciting finish here. 3 guys locked up at -12.

Smith +2. Not the start he would be after. Scoring looks relatively bruise freee out there too.

 

[iDon]

Coverage is shocking.

Showing holes for the two groups they are only covering when they are on the green basically.

It's borderline embarrassing actually. You can't tell me when can't see more then just the two groups, DP World tour typically shows 3 groups and multiple other people throughout coverage.

 

[iDon]

Also graphics for players are constantly wrong.

Herbet with a birdie, shown as a par, then on that par 5 was playing his 4th, graphic showed playing his third.

Amateur hour there

 

[iDon]

day 1 in the books.

Afternoon groups def had it a lot harder with the changing conditions.

Would be run on a shoestring so no surprise.

In positive news at least Mark Allen nowhere to be seen!

God he is insufferable isn't he.

Scoring looks tougher today. Haven't checked the coverage, oh wait there isn't any to see.
