2018 Schweppes City of Brisbane Pro Am

The 2018 Schweppes City of Brisbane Pro Am at Victoria Park attracted a strong field this year with amateurs and professionals from across South East Queensland and beyond all competing for one of the fantastic prizes provided by our generous sponsors. The course was looking better than ever and despite the tough windy conditions there were some low scoring amateurs and professionals to make the day hotly contested.

Golf professionals Dale Brandt-Richards & Brett Rankin found themselves at the top tied at 8 under to take out this year’s Schweppes City of Brisbane Pro Am at Victoria Park on Tuesday 7 August.

Longest Drive Competition

The competition continued off the course with our Peroni Longest Drive Competition taking place from the Marquee Deck. Long Drive World Champions kept the crowd entertained with Karl Peters absolutely cracking one 344 metres!  Next up were the professional players from the pro-am, aiming to be the longest AND most accurate with their drive. Christopher Wood prevailed as the winner with a 274 metre drive within a 10 metre goal post.
