The Portarlington Legends Pro-Am, the smash hit of last summer, returns next month.
We’ll have two fields – AM and PM – on Tuesday, 21 February, with two meals for all players and a mountain of prizes to win in what was last year voted by the pros as the best Legends Tour pro-am in Victoria.
Plus play with your heroes on a course you know and love. It doesn’t get any better!
Legends field locked in
The stage is set, let’s get it on!
The Barwon Cleaning Supplies Portarlington Legends Pro-Am draw has been finalised and it’s another bumper edition.
Check the draw to find your tee time, or if you’re not playing, be sure to mark down your favourite player’s details and come out on Tuesday to have a look!!
Milney tackles the legends
Golfing royalty and our own clown prince will slug it out in a Skins game for the ages right here at Portarlington next week.
Yep, on Monday at 5pm, as part of the Barwon Cleaning Supplies Portarlington Legends Pro-Am festivities, we will feature a star-studded six-hole shootout for more than $3000 cash.
Defending Port pro-am champ Mike Harwood, Australian Open hero Peter Fowler, US PGA Tour winner Andre Stolz, all-round champ Glenn Joyner and our very own resident genius Matthew Milne will go head to head in the classic Skins format.
Play will be on modified holes using the 1st, 17th and 18th greens only, ensuring audience participation will be paramount. Quite simply, if one player has the best score alone, he will pocket the cash. If there’s a tie, it jackpots to the next hole.
If we finish with a jackpot on the final hole, there will be a special nearest-the-pin shootout from near the pro shop across to the 18th green to determine the big winner!
And for those who don’t even want to walk up and back three times to follow it all, we’ll provide a free sausage sizzle and an outdoor bar for your comfort and entertainment right near the first tee.
So come down and take it all in – and watch our very own “Milney” take it up to the legends of the game!!
BARWON CLEANING SUPPLIES STEPS UP AGAIN
Excitement is building again around our Legends Pro-Am – especially now we’ve locked in our famous naming rights sponsor for another year!
Yep, Barwon Cleaning Supplies has again thrown its enormous support behind our event, in its second year as PGA Legends Tour event and to be held on Tuesday, 21 February.
But don’t forget all the years Barwon Cleaning Supplies backed the old “flat-bellies” tour event, as well, so an enormous thanks to Wayne Dixon and his team for their outstanding commitment to ensuring tournament golf is played at Portarlington.
More news on players in days ahead, but in Stolz, Fowler, Harwood, Joyner and Price plus many more to come, the field again promises to be stellar, particularly as the second leg of the Bellarine swing of the PGA’s Legends Tour after events at Curlewis on the Sunday beforehand.
And don't forget, there's a discount available for those who want to play at Curlewis as well as here at Port – just ask Mark Hayes in the office team for details at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. via email.
