The KCC Lady Golfers Open Day, held on Friday 28th June, was a great success with 113 players from 20 different clubs participating in a Single Stableford event. Players travelled from various clubs in different regions including Gloucester, Dungog, Wodonga, and South West Rocks, making it a competitive and diverse field. Despite some challenging course conditions, players enjoyed the event thanks to Brendan and his team’s efforts in maintaining the course. After the game, all players and member volunteers gathered at the club for a post-game lunch and presentation. Dean and the club staff ensured that everyone had access to lunch, coffee, and bar facilities. The KCC Lady members also contributed with a delightful spread of morning tea and dessert, with proceeds from the dessert sales going to the Aussie Battlers Charity at Laurieton. Thanks to the support of major sponsors Morgans Financial Ltd and LUSC, the event offered prizes for 1st to 4th place in four divisions, along with special awards like Longest Drive, Accuracy Drive, and Nearest the Pin in each grade. Congratulations to the major prize winners, including Barbara Varcoe from Wauchope Club for Gross Stableford, Dianne Hickson from Frederickton Club for Best Overall Stableford Score, and Chris Essex from Emeral Downs Club for the Long Marker Trophy.
