The Australian Print Finishers Association (Apfa) have again made their mark on the Australian social calendar by holding their second Annual Ambrose Golf Day on Monday 7th May at Rosanna Gold Club in Melbourne.

The event was a little bigger than 2006's inaugural event, and commenced with finger food and drinks at morning registration where the 64 players got an opportunity to socialise and form their teams before teeing off shotgun style at 12 noon. 

We couldn't have asked for better weather - dry, and sunny with a light breeze. The drinks cart (driven at various stages by Precision Formecutting's Carly Vella, CP Gluing's Gavin Ward, and Budget Cutting Formes's Sigrid de Castella) was again appreciated for thirsty participants.

After the 18 holes, teams made their way to the clubhouse for pre dinner drinks where they could meet up with non-playing guests and indulge in a bit of rest and relaxation and post game narrative.

A sumptuous Gourmet BBQ dinner of lamb cutlets, Tandoori chicken, porterhouse steak, bratwurst sausages, and marinated salmon fillets was accompanied by a fresh selection of Caesar salad, Tuscan salad, and mixed garden salad, a feast fit for a king and sated the appetites of the hungry golfers.

Evening events continued with plenty of drinks and discussion before entertainment by funnyman Gavin Ward (who presented lots of commemorative APFA golf balls to the audience to buy favour) and multi-talented singer, songwriter, radio personality and comedian entertainer Greg Champion from “The Coodabeen Champions” fame presented their wares.

Greg's performance was particularly great as he serenaded us with many of his infamous football and cricket tracks and a couple of new ones from his soon to be released album.

Greg's performance reached its pinnacle when he was joined by APFA president Mathew Powell to sing "That's The Thing About Football".

After Greg's performance Mathew reclaimed the stage to introduce Gavin Ward and Trophy Sponsor Sigrid de Castella of Budget Cutting Formes to present the day's awards. The Apfa would like to extend its congratulations to the following trophy winners:
