The 2019 Vic Four-Ball Championship has moved past the halfway mark of the qualifying rounds and the action has moved to some of regional Victoria’s best golf courses. As fewer qualifying rounds remain it is becoming increasingly more difficult to take out top prize in the men’s, women’s or mixed sections at each venue. With the support from Bushnell Golf, this year the winning pairs in each section will take home with them a brand new Excel GPS Rangefinder Watch, along with their tickets into the state final played at Sorrento & Moonah Links on Monday 18th & Tuesday 19th March.
