TWELVE members of the Cardinia Beaconhills Golf Club travelled to Portsea on Saturday for the reverse leg of the annual Hillsea Shield event.
Heading down with a 41-point lead, they kept their noses in front to hang on to the shield for another 12 months.
Captain James Coughlin led from the front with 38 points.
He was also the designated bus driver, leaving the other 11 free to enjoy themselves, which they did!
