his Superintendent with a much deserved reward for his significant contribution to their Club over the past five years. Thank you to Ryan Mulcaster and the team from John Deere and Chesterfield who continue to support our industry, provide these opportunities and continue to develop relationships with our Clubs. Michael Richards and the team at McLeod Golf Club did an amazing job in hosting this premier event, let alone the fact that Michael had metres and metres of water over his golf course in January 2011. Thanks to McLeod GC who have shown what great planning, innovative management, and dedication can achieve. Scott Wagstaff has subsequently rocketed up the 2012 Dudley Von Nida Championship Leaderboard into third position and is quickly catching previous runner up Ben Dobson who continues to display Eldrick type qualities by leading from the front.
