2 Day Port Macquarie Tournament Monday/ Tuesday August 30^th  & 31^st.

221 players (147 men and 74 ladies) from 47 clubs competed in the annual Port Macquarie Veterans Tournament. Graham Austin and his committee organised another fabulous event with warm weather, no wind, fast greens and the course in excellent condition. This was Graham’s seventh tournament as director and it is understood may have been his last. Well done Graham.
