Forty-six golfers were the beneficiaries of superb weather for this year’s event held at Green Acres Golf Club in Kew East on March 4. These included thirteen junior doctors from the hospital welcomed as honorary guests of the Association.
The Doyle – O’Sullivan perpetual trophy
The individual winner was anaesthetist Dr Simon Jones whose name will now be inscribed on the handsome silver cup donated by Dr Leo Doyle and Dr John O’Sullivan in 1935. Simon won on a count back from last year’s winner, radiologist Dr Nick Gelber.
