Week ending 17th August 2013 (Vets)

CAPTAIN’s CORNER

Thank you to our President, Kevin Crundall, who not only donated all of the winners and runner up prizes this week, but also parted with a large portion of his golf ball collection by donating all of the NTP and run down balls.

For all of those who turned up to last Tuesday’s Working Bee, pat yourselves on the back for a mighty effort.  We had a good roll up and the course certainly looks the better for it.   For anyone who wishes to be involved, the Working Bee’s are normally held on the 1st Tuesday of each month from 7.30 to 9.30 am, light duties only.

Congratulations to all winners this week.   Most notable in C-Grade was Bill Hesse with a great 47 points, his 4 for 5 points on the 11th no doubt the highlight of his round.  I don’t know what Bill has been eating lately, but I want some of it too.

In A-Grade we saw a return to form by our Champion in Black Caviar, Dave Walder.  Dave and Jimmy Penman both scored 41 points and could only be separated after the 3rd stage of a count back.

Also well done to our B-Grade winner Terry Wilson with 41 points. The fears that new member Bruce Cowan held that he would not be able to play to his old handicap soon disappeared when he came in with an impressive 40 points.

You may have noticed “Marshall Pigdon” (left) making his way around the course lately.  Don is unable to play at the moment and has kindly offered to keep an eye out for slow play.

I will be doing another order soon for our green logo golf shirts, anybody who requires a shirt, see me. The cost is $40 payable on receipt of the shirt. The shirts will have your name embroidered on them, making it easy to identify you by other players.
