Some of Australia’s leading professional golfers today mixed with the amateurs at the Lismore Workers Pro -am.
The annual event is part of the North Coast Pro Amateur Circuit which will continue this week at Mullumbimby, Murwillumbah and Yamba.
While today’s winning professional takes home a cool $15 000, the amateurs don’t walk away empty handed either.
“It’s their chance to play with a pro and get out there and obviously hopefully learn something and maybe see someone put a round together where they shoot four, five or six under.”
