Lynwood Pro AM Event Success
The recent Stockland I The Gables 2023 Lynwood Pro Am Event at Lynwood Golf & Country Club was a spectacular success and is set to become an annual fixture.

More than 60 professionals joined forces with an equal number of enthusiastic amateurs, presenting a unique opportunity to play side by side with some of Australia’s finest golfers.
Matthew Bailey, General Manager at Lynwood Golf & Country Club said The Stockland | The Gables 2023 Lynwood Pro Am received incredible support from Lynwood’s membership, solidifying Lynwood’s significance for golf in the region and providing lasting memories of all involved.
“It was a huge relief to finally hold our inaugural event,” he said. “Lynwood discussed holding a Pro-am event back in 2020. Seven floods and two lockdowns later, we were able to hold our inaugural event.”

“I look forward to holding an even bigger event next year.”
