President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 28 Aug


Hi All,

A great day for a game of golf dawned at Half Moon Bay this morning. The course was in excellent condition with the greens being cut and rolled before our game and the bunkers raked. Credit must go to Grant, the Course Superintendent and to his willing staff. Our thanks also go to Greg Ferry, the club’s manager, who donated a case of beer for our free raffle, and to Jazz in the kitchen and Dale, the Pro Shop and Bar for looking after our members, pre- and post-game.


We had 90 starters today in our Single Stableford event sponsored by our valued sponsor,  Darren Golder, the proprietor of DRUMMOND GOLF CAIRNS. He again has supplied us with Drummond vouchers. Winners are reminded that the vouchers have a one month expiry date on them unless an extension can be negotiated with Darren, which he is generally happy to do.

The field consisted of 69 men and 21 ladies who competed in the day’s event which goes towards the year’s Consistency Trophy. We had three visitors today, Errol Frewen “across the ditch” from New Zealand, and also Graeme Neil and his wife Diane from Tin Can Bay. A hearty welcome was extended to them all.

Whilst talking about visitors, the time has arrived when we farewell Marg and Tom Finch and Tessa and Peter Meyer. I know that myself and all members of our Association are delighted when both couples arrive on their yearly visit. Each couple adds their own level and brand of cheerfulness to our golf days that is hard to imagine. It was good to see each of them take away a voucher or ball today from our comp. We wish them safe travel to their respective homes and sincerely wish that they will join us around about this time next year so we can again enjoy their company.

We had no new members join today and our total membership stands at 243. It consists of 185 men and 58 women and it is heartening to see the ladies maintaining their 25% share of the total.

Members are reminded that the scores entered by players on the scoreboards at games are unofficial and purely for information. The only official results are those determined and announced by the Captain.  Congratulations to John Tolhurst who had an eagle on 6.

Our next game is at Millaa Millaa and all members are advised that with the agreement of the Club we have put back our Registration to 7.30am to 8.30am.

Yours in golf,
Greg.
El Presidente”.
