On the first Saturday of January for 2019 at the Kempsey Golf Club the first of the month long sponsored days by Celebrations was held as part of the 18 hole Single Stroke event for the Monthly Medals in each grade. As it was still part of Christmas and New Year holidays there was plenty of visitors in the large field of 83 players to hit off on the day. They were from Cessnock, Sawtell, Newcastle, Gosford, Camden, Long Reef, Murrurundi and Lismore. Again a very big thank you goes out to the team from Celebrations for their continued support of golf at the club and all players thank you for your support.
