Southern lights shine bright at Southbroom’s ladies’ classic
The golf is fun but the evening entertainment even better.
Southbroom Golf Club hosted one of its three majors for the year, namely the Ladies Classic.
As always, it’s well attended and there’s always a fantastic vibe. This year was the 20th occasion of it being played, with the theme Journey to the Southern Lights.
The golfers love this event, as can be seen by the number of letters and messages professional Derek and Sheena James receive afterwards.
