Officials said the solid number of entrants were met with idyllic winter conditions for the tournament’s 21st birthday edition across four Far South Coast clubs – Bega, Eden, Pambula-Merimbula and Tura beach.
More than 1000 rounds of golf were played across the 72-hole competition, which featured daily individual stableford events at each of the four courses.
Winning the king’s crown was Rick Horwood from Medway in Victoria, while Pambula-Merimbula local Carlene Ramsay was declared queen with the top combined score across the four days.
Club captain Ian Franks declared the winners with vice-president Tony Freeman and ladies vice-captain Lynda Jolly presenting the crowns and trophies to the winners.
Horwood played off a Golf Australia handicap of 12 and won the tournament with an overall tally of 143 points including wins at Eden and Tura.
Ramsay has a handicap of 10 and produced 124 points including a Tura round win to claim the ladies title just one point ahead of runner-up Robyn Whitehead from Beverley Park with 123 points.
The traditional two-person ambrose wrapped up proceedings on Friday including Robert Irvine and Judith Braden both hitting holes-in-one.
Organisers said the Ace of Clubs will return next year on June 17-22.
