Indented Heads reign in the rain for 2026 William Buckley Classic
The Indented Heads reign in the rain at 2026 William Buckley Classic
The 21st running of the William Buckley Classic saw golfers from across the country descend upon Melbourne's magnificent Mornington Peninsula for a weekend of fun and frivolity.
Under cloudy and rainy skies, the Moonah Links Open, and RACV Cape Schanck Golf courses presented our players with a challenging and thoroughly enjoyable weekend.
Round 1 teed off at the challenging Moonah Links Resort, Open Course. The predicted rain mostly stayed away, giving our golfers a cloudy but very calm day. A few teams took advantage of the mild conditions, vaulting to the top of the leaderboard. With the Point Lonsdale Cavemen leading on 48 points, followed by the Otway Rangers on 47 and the Indented heads on 44
It was a chilly and wet finish for Round 2 on Sunday. Overnight storms soaked the peninsula, and though the rain was light in the morning , it was persistent throughout the round. Many pairs pulled the pin and opted for the warmth of the clubhouse. But 7 teams braved the weather, and took on the challenge with gusto. And towels...and gloves...and umbrellas...and ALL the rain gear. In the end, The Indented Heads (Anthony Moscato and Michelle Jarvis) came home with the wettest of sails. They surged ahead to claim the WBC Murrangurk Trophy, courtesy of a stellar 91 points. They pipped the perennial bridesmaids The Otway Rangers (Cam Thompson and Ian Steer) on 88 points. The Point Lonsdale Cavemen (Lachlan Welsh and Ryan Erkamps) were 3rd on 86. Rounding out the top 5 were the Corio Bay Fugitives (Richard Fellner and Dean Connell) on 79, and The Mount Defiance Alliance (George Long and Steven Dive) on 76.
