The wait was worth it

Maclean Women’s Golf held their 2 Day Tournament on September 26 – 27.

It may have been three years in the making due to Covid 19 and flooding, however it was well worth the wait.

A huge thankyou goes to our sponsors, Clarence Valley Council, Townsend General Store, Maclean Bowling Club, Cathy & John Ayres and Maclean Stays. Without their continued support of the event, it wouldn’t be the success we all experienced during the two days.

Day 1 fielded 66 players in a 4BBB Stableford and Day 2 was a Single Stableford with 51 players. Players represented Clubs from Grafton, Yamba, Sawtell, Ballina, Lismore, Ocean Shores, Coolangatta Tweed and Coffs Harbour.

Our aim for the Tournament was to impress and please and we certainly achieved both. A big thank you to the green staff, volunteers and everyone that helped us ensure our Tournament was a success.
