Susan Pettinger Memorial Riverside Tournament – 30 Aug 2021

The Event

The inaugural Riverside Tournament worked well, with 24 members competing in 4 teams of 6 players.

Players enjoyed the new format, particularly the team nature of the event, spurring each other on throughout the afternoon.

The tournament was played in memory of club member Susan Pettinger who was taken much too soon.

The day was capped off by the awards ceremony, including Susan Pettinger’s family presenting trophies to the leading players on the day.
