A big thank you to the Atherton Golf Club which as usual was very welcoming: to the ever smiling Cheryl for her great sandwiches and cold refreshments: to Dave "Irish" Hazlett who was still cheerful even after his fellow Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy had thrown the US Open away the day before: to Stevie , Brendan and all their volunteers who had the course looking in striking condition.
We had 4 new members loin today, Ken Phillips from Lismore, Al Clarke from Half Moon Bay and Chris De Mamiel and John Dunne from Atherton. Welcome all.

A glorious early winter day coaxed out 67 players (13 ladies and 54 men) at Half Moon Bay this morning to play an 18 hole single stableford in the consistency series. Special thanks to Sasha, Brady and Tanya in the pro Shop for helping the field get away and to Felicity behind the bar for keeping us well watered.
We welcome back today Tom and Margaret Finch from Yarrambat Park. If your wondering where Yarrambat is , its between Plenty and Mernda on Highway 57 , but not as far as Doreen!
Our major sponsor Drummond Golf once again came to the fore with prizes for the day. Check out their EOFY specials.
And an even bigger thanks to Captain, Acting Captain, Acting President from the last two years Peter Wyatt who is packing up his tent, throwing it onto the back of a camel, along with his consort and is heading over the sand hills for a deserved break. Peter has been the backbone of the Management Committee over the last two years. We wish him all the best on his travels, safe traveling.
Peters sabbatical paves the way for other members to put their hands up, and help out for the rest of the year. Don't be shy!
