A SUPERB 60 off the stick for a nett 54 1/2 was easily enough for the team of Peter and Steven Bethune and Leon Cook to win the annual Holden Scramble at Drouin Golf Club on Saturday.
Sponsored by Barry Bourke Holden, a full field of 36 teams took part in the threeperson Ambrose event.
Second was Charlie Hardy, Matt Bradshaw and Paul Kay on nett 57 1/3, just edging out the team of Danny Shine, Arthur Barnett and Jim Bransgrove on nett 57 1/2.
