There were fewer entries than we had over the last couple of years, but hopefully the economic situastion will improve and we will see more entries over the coming years. All golfers who came down to the Illawarra had a great week and enjoyed the event, especiall the team who came from the Far West under the guidance of Sharon Nott of the JNJGF.
