Whoever was responsible for ordering the weather for the final round of the 54 Hole Women's Club Championships is to be congratulated.

It was a stunning day from the outset at Nowra Golf Club today. The clear azure sky together with the varied verdant backdrop of the majestic trees and the brilliance of all the golden flowers on the Native Frangipani and Grevillea Robusta dotted around the course provided an exquisite environment for the second round of [...]
An early morning fog rolled in off the river creating quite a "pea souper" for the start of the Women's Club Championships today. One could be forgiven for thinking one was hitting off in Scotland at the Royal and Ancient St Andrews where the scotch mist wanders in from the North Sea. However, for the [...]

However, the summer heat and family holidays limited the participation and it [...]
Springtime has arrived but one could be excused for thinking that maybe it was merely a rumour this morning. It takes courage to take the step to bare the legs after a long, cold winter and the early morning was feeling a little too cool around the knees. However, all our fears were put to [...]
Ellen Ryan was able to order perfect weather for her sponsorship event of a 2BBB Stableford and the morning began with an early shotgun start with everyone as "keen as mustard" to get down to business.
