Round 4 saw the Sharks take on Spring Valley Golf Club at their home course.

The team played well, having 2 wins and 2 matches going down to the wire on the 18th hole, but ultimately fell just short giving Spring Valley a 4-2 win.

3 of our players were giving 20, 22 and 26 shots to their opponents, which would have been a mental challenge to say the least.

Congrats to our winners :

– Brock Mottrom (Lang Lang Golf Club)

– Lucas Saric (Phillip Island Golf Club)

Honourable mentions to our 18th hole nail biters :

– Paddy Dwyer (Leongatha Golf Club)
