First Wednesday outing for Yamba ladies’ golf

Our first Wednesday Single Stableford round for 2023 had a fabulous field of 67 ladies.

Our newest member, Vicki Davies, was formally welcomed into the Yamba Ladies with a presentation of her ‘welcome pack’. May this round be the first of many to come, Vicki.
