16th August 2025
Photo of the Day
What a sight it was out on the course today — windy swings and plenty of smiles caught on camera! A big thank you to our ladies captain for capturing a nice moment with our I Love Kimchi sponsor and a special welcome to our guest from Tasmania. Heres a shot to capture the fun, the golf, and a fair bit of laughter.
