This week, we will be saying a fond farewell to John and Natasha Wright who are relocating to the QLD Sunshine Coast. They will be sorely missed by our ladies who have many fond memories of them both from their 11 years running the Pro Shop and their support of all things golf. Yamba ladies wish them all the best for the many adventures which lie ahead.
Congratulations to our winners and happy golfing.
