Dylan Gardner excels at Woodford Golf Pro Am
A MIX of pros and amateurs flocked to the Woodford Golf Club on Monday of last week for the Woodford Professional Golfers Association (PGA) Associate Pro Am.
There were 50 pros and 54 amateurs as the participants came from as far north as Bundaberg and as far south as Yamba, while the event was the first of its type in Woodford for nearly 10 years.
Groups comprised two pros and two amateurs, with the pros teeing off at 7am and playing 36 holes while the amateurs teed off in the afternoon and played 18 holes.
The format was Stroke for the pros and Stableford for the amateurs, with many of the pros visiting Woodford for the first time.
The overall winner was Dylan Gardner of Pelican Waterswith scores of 63 and 66, while Zach Ion of Virginia placed second with 64 and 68.
Dylan was no stranger to Woodford, having joined this club a few years back when his home course was closed for renovations.
Dylan grew up at Mt Kilcoy, where his parents Michael and Jodie still reside, and was a Kilcoy Golf Club Junior.
