Week ending 7th September 2013 (Vets)

CAPTAIN’s CORNER  

Congratulations to all of our winners in September’s Monthly Medal event. It was pleasing to see our Secretary/Treasurer, Rod Booth, take out the B-Grade.  Rod does a hell of a lot of work behind the scenes, so it was nice to see the golf course reward him with a great game.

Next Wednesday is our 4 Man Ambrose event.   It is an 8.00am shotgun start.  As this is a 4 man team event PLEASE REGISTER BY 7:30am AT THE LATEST so we can ensure groups are organised BEFORE they head out to their nominated tee.    If you are nominated to play but can’t make it please let me know on 0409109106 or grant117@tpg.com.au as far in advance as possible.

We are making this a special day to mark the start of our Summer Season.  We will be having prizes on most holes, and the tee’s will be set at different positions than usual on some holes.

Hopefully we will have a good attendance, below is a list of what is on offer.

The credit must be spent at The Club – it can be used to purchase goods or services but not pay annual membership or levy.
