Last Friday’s Single Stableford had 41 ladies thinking rain might disrupt their morning, but nothing could have been further from the truth. It was a beautiful morning!

Val Pate certainly had a great day winning Div 1 as well as two NTP. The Div 1 r/up was Darrie Nightingale (31pts).

Gail Scobie (38pts c/b) won Div 2, beating Jen O’Neill, who also scored 38pts.

Kathy Lollback (36pts) was the Div 3 winner and Angela Walpole (34pts) was r/up.

Nine ladies played in cool conditions last Saturday morning for their Single Stableford competition.

Kylie Lowe’s consistent improvement continues and her score of 44pts was no exception. Darrie Nightingale also had a memorable morning by winning the day’s NTP and scoring an incredible Eagle on the Par 5 11th Hole, holing out from 108m. Congratulations Darrie … and to all of last week’s winners.

A strong contingent of Yamba ladies played in last Monday’s Maclean Hospital Auxiliary fundraiser held at Iluka. We were thrilled that over $2000 was raised on the day, including $698.70 from funds raised by Yamba Ladies Golf earlier this year. As usual, the Iluka ladies welcomed us, and provided not only a great day of golf and prizes, but a fabulous lunch and afternoon tea.
