Grafton 59th Annual May Tournament

This week was the 59th Annual May Tournament with players coming as far south as Jamberoo and north as far as the Gold Coast.

We could not have asked for better weather over the 4 days, a bit brisk in the mornings but warmer later in the day, perfect for playing golf.

Club Car Australia was our main sponsor, sponsoring the 36-hole Stroke event.
