Alpine Joy at 2026 SGA Autumn Classic

Alpine Joy for 2026 SGA Autumn Classic!

What a weekend in the Alpine High Country! 45 golfers were treated to fantastic golf, in a beautiful setting, with some wonderful people. All-in-all, this was our most successful (and fun) Autumn Classic. Well done to everyone for joining us.

Friday - Warm-up Day

An absolute cracker of an afternoon at Bright GC for the warm-up round of the 2026 Autumn Classic - Bright & Myrtleford. The course was in magnificent autumn condition, with the tricky but true greens a highlight. Smiles all around!

Congratulations to the Warm-up Day podium finishers:
George Long - 36 points (CB)
Phil French - 36 Points
Shane Cash - 35 Points

The evening included a welcome dinner at the Bright Chalet, where golfers caught up with old (and new) friends, while enjoying a lovely meal and a few beverages.

Saturday - R1

Immaculate greens, tight fairways and even a pesky ball-stealing crow made for a great experience for all during Round 1 at the lovely Myrtleford GC. Thanks to Brad and the staff, and the Myrtleford members, for making us all feel welcome. We loved your course.

Sunday - R2

Round 2 saw a fresh but glorious morning at Bright GC. Despite overcast skies, and a short sprinkling of early morning rain, the day turned into an absolute cracker. The course was in magnificent condition. And despite not a single bunker on the course, the layout still showed its teeth, and caught some people out.

And though the weekend was all about fun and relaxation, at the end of the day, when the total scores were tallied, some very deserving winners emerged.
Congratulations to the Pairs Better Ball Team Champions, Tony Sturesteps + Kevin Yee (86 points) who pipped Joel Matthews + Jess Vicino (85), and Dave Warwick + Phil French (82 - 3-way countback) .

Congrats to our Individual champion Anthony Moscato (73 points) , who won over Steven Dive and Peter Light (both on 70, on countback) .
