A little more than 60 golfers turned up for the day, a sharp dip from the usual 100. Though, that only meant more of a golf course to enjoy, as the golfers teed off for the single-stroke, 18-hole tournament.

“The golf course looked fantastic, considering the drought we’ve been through,” Moree Golf Club professional Matthew McGuire said.
