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”.
