This years Majors was dominated by one man- known affectionately in the pro shop as either Serial Pest or Batman, you all know him as Shane Harrison.
 
He headed into the final round with the lead based on re calculated points and his final round 36pts was good enough to get him over the line and finally get his hands on a green jacket. Unfortunately due to a computer error of final round points allocation, the presentation had to be postponed to ensure the result was in fact the correct one.
 
Congrats Shane (we will get a photo of you in the jacket on your next visit) and congrats to all the players who took part this year, we look forward to starting all over again on Masters Monday in April.
 
- 1st Shane Harrison 900pts
- 2nd Josh Baratta 830pts
- 3rd Brodie Miller 820pts
 
We are still open but need your support!
 
This is a hard time for so many of us but we believe in the strength of our community and know that, with the support of our members and locals, we can all pull through this.
 
Your support means so much to us.
 
Thank you for all the kind messages, on wards and up wards!

Congratulations to Brendan Carson and Julie-ann Carson with a great score of 79 to win the Mixed Foursomes Championship over Karen and Jackson Love 81.

Also a mention to our nett winners James and Cheryl Bird with 71 who edged out a couple of our juniors Maddison Clarke and Matthew Conias on 72.

We had a great number of 54 players who braved the format, another great event!

Windaroo Lakes have activated access to the MiScore digital scoring app though to 30 September 2020.

We highly recommend using this app during the COVID-19 crisis to mitigate contact between players, kiosk PCs, and the handling and exchange of scorecards. Physical scorecards will still be available at the club for those who wish to use them. The MiScore App is available for download and allows members and visitors to enter the hole by hole scores during their round rather than using a traditional scorecard.

This scoring app has recently been approved by the R&A and Golf Australia as a method of scoring.

After scoring on the MiScore App, please sign as the marker and include the initials of your playing partner in the ‘player’ box. Please, for the safety of yourself and any playing partners, DO NOT digitally sign each others scorecards, only the scorecard you are responsible for.

In addition to the health implications, the mobile score entry provides a number of features and benefits including:

  • Reduction in scorecard printing
  • Distance to the middle of the green information via GPS
  • Pace of play round timer

Watch the video on MiScore to learn more about the app or download the member instructions. If you have difficulties downloading or utilising the app, please contact the club for assistance.

A huge thank you to all who voted for us in this fun poll on Crazy Golf Deal's Facebook page. 

We came up against some stunning courses and we feel very honoured that we have such a strong support system in our members and community.
