Smith Takes Out Championship
The Yass Golf Club held their annual Open Championships last Sunday in very windy conditions, thankfully a slightly cooler day than the Saturday.
With the recent heavy rain the course has recovered well and looks a picture.
Club Captain Peter Timmer said; “We were very pleased with the day as 75 players went out and our congratulations to Tim Smith for winning the Championship with 71.”
The runner/up was L.Kemp with 74 strokes and the net winner was Aaron Goode with 73-11-62.
