⛳ Murrindindi Masters – Final Round
Yea – Saturday, 28 February 2026
A strong field of 90 players competed in the final round of the 2026 Murrindindi Masters, held at the Yea Golf Club. Following bushfires in early January that forced the postponement of the scheduled Yea round, the series progressed through Alexandra, Marysville and Eildon before returning to Yea for the finale.
Despite the dry conditions across the district, the course was presented in very good condition and provided an excellent setting for the concluding round.
A sincere thank you to FoodWorks for their continued sponsorship of this annual event. Initial organiser Norm Reddrop would have been delighted with the strong participation from all clubs. Although currently in care and unable to attend, his representative Kathy was present on behalf of the sponsor.
This year also marked the inaugural presentation of the “Normie” Shield, awarded to the visiting club with the best ten scores combined. The inaugural winners were Yea Golf Club, finishing ahead of Marysville Golf Club.
