Last Friday (August 9), Darrie Nightingale was announced as the 2019 Yamba Ladies Golf Club Champion.
Darrie had a score of 351 over the four rounds and is a really worthy winner of this prestigious event. Congratulations Darrie. Congratulations to our B Grade Champion Julie Campbell and also to our C Grade Champion, Toni Elliott.
Everyone who played suffered a postponement of the second round which is always a little disruptive however all grades were hotly contested in most cases and even the C Grade Championship was eventually decided on a countback.
