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.
