Playing Numbers<\/strong>
\nEach day, the number playing was near optimum of 132 golfers. One third of the field were women. Of the 154 Entries (counting withdrawals ) 50 were from the Shoalhaven ( ie Group 2 – Mid South Coast VGA), 94 from other NSW regions, 9 from Queensland and one Victorian. The predominant club featured was Sussex Inlet with 23 starters, followed by Cootamundra with 10.
\nDemand for cart hire was high, and host clubs had to access private carts to meet the needs of players.
\nWeather<\/strong> was generally good, although players at Worrigee were subject to several showers during their round.
\nVery good support in running the Shoalhaven Week of Golf was provided by the host clubs – Shoalhaven Heads, St Georges Basin, Worrigee Links and Nowra.<\/p>\n
