NTPs winners were Van Isackson (3^rd), Bob Walpole (9^th), Neil Gore-Brown (10^th). Franz Eckardt  (12^th), Michael Gane (17^th).

Reminder, the Men’s Foursomes Championships are being held on Saturday August 29. There will be a Stableford event for those not playing in the Foursomes.

On Sunday August 23 there will be a mixed 2-person Ambrose, shotgun start at 9am.

It was unfortunate that the Yamba MI Organics Pro-Am has been postponed due to the closure of the Queensland border.

Happy golfing and stay safe.
