Seaside Valley 2024 Week of Golf

Monday to Friday November 29th 2024

Played at Kiama and Jamberoo courses, located in the Illawarra Region of NSW, commencing Monday, November 25th and ending up on Friday, November 29th, so completing the NSWVGA Program of Events for 2024.
129 players, 79 men & 52 women, from 42 clubs registered for the event, not all playing the full four days. The weather gods were with us as heavy rain fell on the Tuesday as the last group was leaving the 18th and similar happenings occurred on the last day as the shot gun start field was heading back to the clubhouse at the completion of their round.
NSWVGA Secretary Aileen Williams was present as the state representative,

and tournament director Jeff Lynch

enjoyed his first year at the helm, ably assisted by former director Bob Smith. All events were conducted as stableford competitions. Trophies in single events were allocated so that no one player won more than one voucher as per policy document 2 of the NSWVGA. Vouchers were issued in order of value so that if a golfer appeared more than once in the leading scores that player was awarded the voucher of higher value.
