Golf NSW General The number of practice balls was raised as an issue at the 2018 event by Coffs Harbour. They were promised 4000 and only received 2000. This meant a lot of extra picking up and cleaning of balls on the practice range. There were indications of possible future events should Queanbeyan host a successful event and had the Board support to do so. Laura Davies has not yet committed but they are confident she will be the marquee player.
