Pro Pin & Raffle Winners

• Shane Vanderlight – $80 Voucher

Shane Vanderlight winning the Pro Pin on a Saturday is already unusual—but doing it on a day when the rough is “too long” for him to normally show up? That’s next level.

Rumour has it the only reason he played was because someone told him the Pro Pin was on a hole where you don’t have to go near the rough. One swing, straight at the flag, job done… and straight back to avoiding the long grass for another few months.
