Congratulations Gabriela Ruffles – 2019 US Women’s Amateur Golf Champion

In the 2015 Macedon Ranges Junior Golf Tournament Gabi Ruffles, then deciding if golf was the game for her (she is an amazing tennis player and has been in the Vic state squad), competed in the Gary Watts Shield, the RGC Junior Championship.  On a dry and dusty course she shot a 76, just three over the card.  This week she won the US women’s anmateur championship.  The tournament is one of continual match-play, a real test of her skill and determination.  On behalf of all at RGC, CONGRATS GABI ON A WONDERFUL VICTORY.

Romsey Golf Club (RGC) golf course has been at Romsey Park since 1922. We care for and improve the ~80% of Romsey Park that contains the Golf Course. Currently we have twelve greens and 18 tees. The course ratings are; Blue Tees; Men - Par 72, ACR 72, Slope 124 and Women - Par 76, ACR 77, Slope 129 Red Tees; Men - Par 70, ACR 68, Slope 114 and Women - Par 71, ACR 73, Slope 119. Indigenous native trees and bushes are planted to make the park/course more attractive to golfers, community members and native insects, birds, reptiles and small mammals, to provide shade and wind control and for carbon abatement. RGC is a totally volunteer run club. We hold mixed competitions on Wednesdays (9.00 am for 9.30 am hit-off) and on Saturdays (11.30 am for 12.00 pm hit-off). Twilight golf runs every Friday (~4.00 pm on) between November and February ($5.00 for golf and $5.00 for a light meal).
