“The winners on the day were Jacqui Walsh, Rod Ryan, Chris Smith, and John Kellahan with 54 2/8.
“The proceeds will of course will be helping MS persons in our MIA area who are continuing their struggle with living with this hideous disease.”
The day was made possible to many groups and businesses in town, including the Leeton-Whitton Football Club, the Rotary Club of Leeton Central, Jason Mimmo and more.
