Yas Links Ladies Open in partnership with Yas Cycles 2016

April 16th 2016 held a very important day at Yas Links, one anticipated by female golfers all around the Emirates, The Yas Links 2016 Ladies Open. A fun event for likeminded lady golfers to compete for the ultimate bragging right, though, the best part usually is that it is a lot of fun and a social event.  New and familiar faces gathered for the Ladies 18 hole Stroke play competition in the late morning.
