Grafton ‘Bone of Contention’

Wednesday April 12

18 lovely ladies from Sawtell played in our Interclub ‘Bone of Contention’ 18-hole Stableford event at Grafton, with 61 starters.

It was discovered that this has not been played for a few years due to fires, Covid and floods. It was a great day with everyone enjoying themselves, but at the end of the day, Sawtell conceded to Grafton. And when you see the results, you will know why. Well done, Grafton, but it might be a different story next year when we play at Sawtell.

Thank you, Judy Burt, for your sponsorship for the overall winner and Shirley Goodger for your lovely raffle prize, won by Jan Patterson.
