VALE – BRUCE WILSHIRE:
It is with sadness that I notify the recent passing of long-time member of “THE BUSH BOY’S” in
Bruce Wilshire. Bruce was a great and generous member who went out of his way to show his
appreciation for the work that goes into running a golf club. On behalf of the Vets, I would like to
pass on our condolences to his family and friends.
WEDNESDAY RESULTS:
No Wednesday results due to the run of wet weather, however 39 of our members did play in the
Host Day at Mt Coolum on Monday (results below).
WEDNESDAYS COMING UP.
Wednesday the 3rd of June will be a Stroke round Monthly Medal sponsored by “THE BUSH BOY’S”.
As with all Monthly Medals the Men will play off the WHITE tees and the Ladies off the RED.
Wednesday the 10th of June is a Multiply Stableford with the Men playing off the WHITE tees and
the Ladies off the RED. This is a 2-person competition where you and your partners Stableford score is multiplied on each hole.
This means if player A has 3 points and player B has 2 points (3 x 2) their score for that hole will be 6 points. If player A has 3 points and player B has 0 points (3 x 0) their score for that hole will be 0.
There will also be a competition within this competition that will reward the player with the best Single Stableford score in each grade.
Wednesday the 17th of June is a Single Stableford with all players off the RED tees.
HOST DAY RESULTS:
All of our 39 players turned up to play at Mt Coolum which is very pleasing. Unfortunately, we ran

John Cranley 37, Paul O’Hare 36, Gary Menyweather 35, Tony Atkins 35, Peter Brown 35, Peter
Piggott 35, Greg Goulding 35, were the best of these.
