FOR the past four-and-a-half years, eight golfers from Russell, Macleay and Lamb islands have met every Monday for a round of golf.
The friends go by the name of The Russell Island Hackers and play nine holes at the Macleay Island Golf Course.
"The rules are simple; there aren't any," Phil Leishman, of Russell Island, said.
"We mainly play Ambrose with changes such as kick the ball out if behind a tree or throw it out if it's in the bush.
"So on the day we have fun, there is no pressure and we enjoy a few beers."
On Monday, May 19, The Russell Island Hackers held a two-man Ambrose competition at Carbrook golf course an 18 hole course.
The winners were Steve Bruni and John Goullet (90), followed by Eric Short and Les Hollis (91), John Dendtler and Phil Leishman (100), and Leigh Bright and Tom Parsons (106).
They received a Best of the Best certificate each signed by six sore losers.
