The Buckers Golf traditional Good Friday tournament was held at Waterford Valley again in 2026. An overcast day with a top of 19 degrees gave way to some lovely Autumn sunshine to make for a very enjoyable day for all 32 golfers.

Congratulations to our 2026 Easter Cup winner Jessie Chin-Quan. Coming off a late night of work, 3 hours sleep and Red Bull, playing off a handicap of 31, Jessie posted a terrific 45 points to beat Stan by one shot. Great round Jessie.

Jessie’s win brings about the first family winners in the history of Buckers golf. Jessie’s Dad Clint won the Easter Cup in 2021, now son Jessie is the trophy holder in 2026. Well done guys!

Stan can count himself a little unlucky today after he carded 72 off the stick, for 44 stableford points playing off a handicap of 8. Bit stiff Stan, but a marvellous days golf Sir!

Jon Linley wins the 2025 Easter Cup at Waterford Valley playing off a hancicap of 25 and with a score of 40 Stableford points. 18 points on the front 9 followed by 22 points on the back brought home an impressive second Easter Cup win for for Mr. Cricket.

Congratulations to Tim Guerin on winning our 2024 Easter Cup with a score of 38 points. He just beat Griffo who also had 38 points, but Tim wins on a countback with his 21 points on the back 9. This year we had the pleasure of playing BJ’s course out at Gardiners Run out in Lilydale and the weather was a warm 28 degrees with little breeze. Perfect golfing conditions. The course was in magnificent condition and everyone enjoyed the day. Thank you to our organisers Ray, Tim Fefis & BJ. Last years winner Tim (TJ) Bonnett presented the trophy.

Good Friday 2023 was supposed to hammer down rain. Thankfully the rain stayed away and Tim Bonnett took full advantage, winning the Easter Cup with a magnificent 38 points. In a huge turnaround from his shithouse effort of 14 points last year, TJ declared in his victory speech: “This is one for the common man! This proves anyone can win a golf tournament without binoculars for distance and a motorised fucking buggy.”

Well done TJ!

We had a gorgeous sunny 22 degree day for Good Friday 2019 at Waterford Valley. Our winner this year is Jon Linley with a hard fought 35 points. After 20 points on the front 9, the driver left him mid back 9, but he managed to hold it together and scramble a solid 15 points on the back 9. Well played Mr. Cricket!

After his 2017 victory, an excited Pap blasted off in the 1st group ready to take on all comers despite his 10 stroke winners penalty. The big guns from the West hit the course early albeit in carts (bit soft lads)…
