For the second consecutive year, sadly the annual Sanctuary Cove Golf and County Club Ladies’ Closing Day was once again hampered by wet weather. However, not to be disheartened, the Sanctuary Cove ladies did not let their spirits be dampened and went to enormous efforts decorating their buggies and donning amazing Christmas costumes to join together to celebrate the end of another wonderful and successful golfing year. A special mention to Captain and Vice-Captain of Ladies’ Golf, Margie Hay and Jan Venn, respectively, and the ladies committee for all their tireless efforts to ensure a special celebration of festivities for the ladies of Sanctuary Cove Golf and Country Club in difficult conditions.
