🌧 Saturday Mixed Competition – proudly supported by Sumich’s Electrical!

Sometimes Albany throws a day out there that separates the serious golfers from the softer ones. Yesterday was absolutely one of those days.
Short, sharp bursts of hail, gusts punching up over 50 km/h, and icy squalls rolling across the course made every swing a test of nerve. But 46 determined golfers pushed through the chaos and turned in some seriously gritty Stableford scoring. Huge thanks to Sumich’s Electrical for powering the day.
