Golf - Tuesday 26th May 2026 - LADIES OPEN DAY

 The weather conditions prevented our planned day of golf today however the luncheon and raffles continued and was enjoyed by a large number of our Lady Golfers including a lot of our visitors.

Congratulations to Sue and our Committee girls for a great day. The Sunset Room looked beautiful dressed in Autumn Leaves attached to twigs from our Magnolia Trees.

We enjoyed a lovely buffet lunch which was followed by the raffle draws which raised in excess of $3000 for charity.

The course was very wet and the decision not to play golf was a good one.

The following photos will indicate the level of enjoyment of the day.
