Opening Day will be upon us sooner than we think. The event is a 4BBB in teams of 2 representing either the President (Blue) or Captain (Yellow/Gold). There will be a shotgun start at 8:30 from a limited number of tees depending on the numbers.
Golf and lunch is $37.50 payable at the pro-shop. There is a booking sheet in the locker room. President and Captain will select the teams a few days prior.
Lunch will be quiche and salad with a fruit platter (or similar) which proved very popular last year. Lunch only members are also welcome. Please book and pay at the bar so the kitchen is able to cater accordingly.
Three trophies will be presented on the day-
- Jean Derrin Jug for most reduced handicap (Perpetual Trophy)
- Saturday Ladies Stroke (Perpetual Trophy)
- Summer Aggregate Stableford
Single Stroke (Saturday 19 January)
The first Saturday Stroke round for 2019 saw 12 players taking advantage of the much cooler (almost misty) day. This is the first round of the Saturday Ladies Stroke Trophy event for 2019. All members with 7 day playing privileges (excluding Country Members) are eligible for this event. Points are awarded (3 to winner, 2 for runner-up and 1 for third placegetter) and the best aggregate total at 31 December 2019 wins. There is at least one Saturday stroke round per month on the day the men compete for their monthly medals as well as couple of additional rounds during the year as per the calendar.
Winner: Andrea Tomlin (29) with nett 74
Runner-up: Carole Byrnes (27) with nett 76
Single Stableford (Thursday 17 January)
Three hardy starters hit off at 7:30 and missed most of the hot weather. A breeze that came up when we arrived at the 10th helped a lot. President Barb was playing the best of us all but was injured during the round and couldn't finish. The playing conditions could not have been too bad with Margaret and I both reducing our handicaps.
Winner: Margaret Horwitz (19) with 32 points
Single Stableford (Tuesday 15 January)
26 players braved the day. Don't forget you can always start early - just arrange with the pro-shop. In fact 3 of us hit off at 7:00 and the conditions were lovely then.
Winner: Michelle Di Natale (10) with 35 points
Runner-up: Faye Frith (35) with 33 points
NTP 2nd shot 4th hole: Helen Martin
Pro-pin: Margaret Horwitz for a jackpot total of $55.00
Single Stableford (Saturday 12 January)
10 players today were out in yet another hot day.
Winner: Pam Barker (19) with 30 points
