It was another hot Saturday morning last week for the eight ladies who played Single Stableford. Tana Lowe continues to play awesome golf, winning for the second week in a row with 39pts. Tana is more focused on her Stroke score though and was happy to go one better this week, to have 79 off the stick. It is a pleasure for all of us to play with Tana and to witness her golf journey. Congratulations Tana. Jane Bonner was runner-up with 31pts, and Julie Campbell won the NTP sponsored by SeaFire Restaurant.
We have 20 ladies who are looking forward to representing Yamba Ladies in this Friday’s GIMY Shield at Maclean. Good luck everyone!
