Congratulations to our very own Phyllis Telfer for her Eagle on 11.
Maclean lady golfers held their Annual 2 Day Tournament recently and Janine Zietsch and Paula O’Keefe took out third place 73 nett. Jenny Cicchinelli (Lismore) and Leigh Robertson won the visitors prize; this was a very generous gift by Cathy Ayres.
Country Week is held annually for our country players. This year we have three ladies travelling with the Grafton bus load to test their skills on the Sydney courses. Good luck girls.

Our 9 holers had 17 starters and played the back 9 holes. This number of starters is an exciting, as it ensures that our 18 hole event will ultimately have a resurgence of new players.
We thank Trish White as president and her off-sides for making the new players feel so welcome. It’s a great starting point for them as is the Saturday ladies golf.
Welcome back to Angela Walpole who had a fabulous score of 20 points. Pru Leggoe was r/up on 18 c/b.
NTPs: Lyn Ford 17, Lyn Alford 12.
Friday August 30 was the 6th and final round of 4/6 Par event which has run during the year. Ann Groom won +2 c/b. Runner up was Gail Scobie +2 c/b from third Joann Foley +2. Balls to -1

Saturday girls played an 18 hole Stableford and one of our new golfers was winner on 39 points. Over the last few weeks, Tana has earned her handicap, and it seems to be lowering at an exceptional rate, due to her lovely golf. Tana plays golf with her dad and brother, I know, but professional John Wright claims her as his junior girl. Runner up this day was Jenny Moody 35 points and nearest to pin was Kathy Parker.
The Fathers Day cup was played on Sunday September 1.
On Wednesday September 4, Yamba ladies played a 4BBB V Par with eight pairs to qualify for a knockout event, with their subsequent rounds to be played at their own convenience each ensuing week.
The normal Friday event will be held as an 18 hole Stableford this week.
