14 November 2010
2010 titleholder: Alan Waddington
The
Event: The Obelisk (as it has now become called even though the original Obelisk was presented at the St Michaels event).
The 3 club event was played with 11 participants and only one winner. It was hot, it was humid, the golf was remarkably good and above all the winner was a popular one.

Mary McKillop Miracle Cup (back to top)
Tuesday 26 January 2010
Tournament Organiser: Peter Thornton
2010 Results: A huge turnout of 15, no doubt attracted by the large number of balls up for grabs (3 per player). A very humid, misty and still morning with 17 points enough for a tied win.
The miracle was witnessed by Phil Alexander whose electric cart failed on the 10th tee. After pushing the cart all the way back to the clubhouse, a man with a beard and what appeared in the mist to be a halo around his head waved his hands around the cart and it was instantly with power - A TRUE MIRACLE!
