Rimington wins EGDGA Championship

Craig Rimington of the Bairnsdale Golf Club has won the 2017 East Gippsland Championship. There was a slight delay to today's play while Craig (Bairnsdale's Curator) swept the ice from the greens. A total of 52 players representing clubs from around East Gippsland were then presented with a terrific course and a wonderful day for golf. Craig shot 75 & 37 for a 27 hole total of 112 and then had to survive a sudden death playoff against Chris Shanahan of Orbost GC. Both players reached the 1st green in regulation and with Chris to putt first his 20 foot birdie putt just slid by the hole and finished some 6' past the pin. Craig then had a 15' putt up hill and was safely in after two putts for a regulation par. Chris unfortunately missed his return putt and the title was Craig's.
