Richmond turns it on for Outback Queensland Masters
All rounds now head to Karumba for the grand finale.
With blue skies overhead and the fairways bustling, Richmond delivered a weekend to remember for the penultimate round of the 2025 Outback Queensland Masters, part of the 1900km journey towards the million-dollar hole-in-one in Karumba this weekend.
Festivities kicked off ahead of the main event, with golfers, locals, and spectators heading to Lake Fred Tritton on Thursday for the ever-popular novelty hole-in-one challenge.
Out on the course, the crows were back for more mischief, cheekily shifting golf balls near hole four, proving once again that golf in the Outback always comes with a few surprises.
Dennis Power of Coolah Sporting Club became the first double orange jacket winner of 2025, with a strong stableford score of 42 points.
Natacha Mason of Jerilderie Golf Club claimed the women’s title with 40 points.
The free junior clinics were a highlight, with PGA Pro Scott Simons welcoming Richmond’s youngest golf enthusiasts to the green. From first-time swings to picture-perfect putts, the session was all about fun, learning, and inspiring the next generation of sand green golfers.
Saturday night’s Dinner Under the Stars was one for the books.
Comedian Sean Choolburra had the crowd in stitches with his high-energy Aussie humour, and singer-songwriter Trent Bell kept the party going with a stellar live set under the Richmond stars.
