Gold Coast visitor Lindsay Ross showed how much he enjoyed the Sunshine Coast when he stormed home to win the rain-shortened Caloundra Mid-Amateur Championship on Monday.
Originally scheduled for 36 holes, the event was reduced to 18 holes when Sunday’s play was abandoned.
Ross, the captain of Emerald Lakes, shot a brilliant five under-par 66 to take mid-amateur honours.
He was three strokes clear of Daniel Butler and Gold Coaster Ben Ratcliffe.
In mid-March, Ross was runner-up in the district mid-amateur championship at Bribie Island, and has an impressive record in mid-amateur events, which are restricted to golfers aged from 30 to 54.

Not that all this golfing activity made much difference to the quality of his game.
Billy, known throughout the Sunshine Coast as ‘the Sign Man’ before his retirement from the sign writing business a few years ago, is, by his own admission, a golfer of modest ability.
But in recent weeks something odd has happened. Billy Gill has found his golfing mojo.
A couple of weeks ago, playing off a handicap of 19, Billy scored 43 points to win a Saturday stableford competition at Maroochy River.
“It was just a fluke,” the modest Billy insisted. “Things went my way and I sunk a few putts.”
