Tuesday February 9 was the first round of the annual Bill Medley Shield event.
It was great to see this event kick off again after a crazy year where the Crescent Head Sports Shop couldn't run inter club events.
70 players from Kew, Wauchope, South West Rocks, Port Macquarie, Frederickton, Kempsey and Crescent Head teed off in the 18-hole stableford event.
