All,
Our game next week is at Millaa Millaa, so hopefully the weather will be kind for a change.
It is a Patron's Trophy round & a single stableford. (You will no doubt be glad to hear we have no more stroke rounds this year!)
Sponsor for the day is Brothers Leagues Club, but Bob Billingham has kindly added some further interest by donating balls to be awarded for:
- half doz balls to NTP from off the green on the 3rd /12th,
- least putts for the round,
- longest putt holed on 9th/18th,
- the NAGA.
See you there.
Louis
PS We're currently working on finalising the Championship results, which will be posted asap.

President's Report & Results HMB 30 Aug
Today was the second
and final round of our club championships and from the things I heard
at presentations most of you have had enough of stroke rounds and
will be happy to go back to good old stableford where huge scores on
a hole are out of the question!
There were 76 men
and 16 women in the field today which was a little disappointing
considering the great weather we have had lately and our membership
is now up to 237.
Our sponsor today is
DEBORAH DUFFY ESTATE AGENT and once again I thank her for the
support and wonder if we can’t get her along for a game one of
these sunny Tuesdays.
Unfortunately one of
our members, Kevin Ranger was hit in the face by an errant ball today
and had to be taken to hospital where xray confirmed his nose was
broken. We all wish Kevin a quick recovery and hopefully his filmstar
career will not be affected too much. Seriously though, if one of our
members is hurt or taken ill on the course do not be shy about
calling an ambulance, they are the experts and it is better to be
safe than sorry.
Congratulations go
to Edna Atkinson for winning the ladies section of the wintersun
tour. This is the caravanners tour up and down the coast this time of
the year playing at various courses along the way.
While on the subject
of great golf, the “shot of the day” today must go to George Brew
whose tee shot on the 3rd skipped 5 times across the water and
finished safely on dry land!!!
Next week the game
is at Millaa Millaa and hopefully the weather gods will be kinder to
us than last time so the Patrons trophy can go ahead.
Bob Billingham is a
Millaa Milla member and has donated 2 dozen balls for some novelty
prizes as extra incentive to make the trip worth while, so even the
NAGA will win a half dozen balls as well as some putting prizes.

Next Game 2nd Round Champs HMB 30 Aug
All,
The final round of our Championships is at Half Moon Bay next Tuesday - yes, you get to do it all again!
The synoptic forecast is looking good at present & course is sure to be in fine condition, so enjoy the scenery from whichever positions you get into.
When you have finished, a platter of sandwiches per group will be supplied free of charge to help you celebrate, so stay & enjoy the presentations if you can, or you can earn brownie points by leaving your share to the rest of the group.
The day & the overall Championships are generously sponsored by Deb Duffy Estate Agent. Any grey nomads looking to move to this lovely part of the world should consider getting in touch with her.
See you there.

PS The last call for shirts for the year will be taken by Lois at registration.

President's Report & Results HMB 23 Aug
Today was the
first round of the championships and from what I see the course must
have been playing very easy, well, next week will tell the story.
The field was a
rather disappointing 80 men and 19 women, but I am assuming that with
all the clubs playing championships and the various open events
around the far north, players may be a little tired of stroke rounds!
Our sponsor today
was DEBORAH DUFFY ESTATE AGENT and once again, thanks Deb for
the Drummond vouchers awarded to the daily winners. The champions
will receive their prizes on the Annual general Meeting day later in
the year.
Our thanks also
go to the Half Moon Bay club for making their course available and
the carton of beer they kindly donate for a free raffle, which was
won today by our patron Claud Clark. Thanks also to Tarquin and Mike
McManus and of course Nyssa for the catering today. Next week we will
be having complimentary platters of sandwiches for each gaggle as
they return to the clubhouse.
Today we welcomed
visitors, Steve Matthews, Lyle Skinner and Peter Tucker as well as
new members Len Neal, Margot Desira and Michael McManus.
