The division one trophy, the Blair Athol Cup, has been contested every year since 1925 except for the period of World War Two from 1942-1944 and in 2020 because of COVID-19.
It's a very prestigious trophy to win and highly sort after.
Hutchins, from the Hunter Valley Country Club, has a Golf Australia handicap of 3.6 and played off five for the Bathurst Tournament.
This is the first time that Tania has visited Bathurst to play golf and we hope that it will be a regular spot on her calendar for the future.

Johnston had a very good Tuesday round with a score of 77 scratch.
