Goombungee ladies put on a beautiful day with great food and hospitality and what a spectacular course to play this championship, it was superb, thank you Goombungee Golf Club.

The committee would like to thank the ladies for supporting the event, however numbers were down on previous years. Due to small nominations the ladies got to play a lot of golf over the two days making their support worthwhile.  

We must also congratulate our tournament director Ruth Hungerford for another job well done, thank you Ruth as we all know this was not an easy job.
