Sunday 29.06.14, Weekly Update


Wauchope Veteran Golfers

There are quite a few things to talk about.
 
Firstly, next Tuesday’s 01.07.14  event is a Single Stableford sponsored by Fredo’s Meats. The first game of the new financial year (for those fiscally orientated), or to others, half the year has gone.
Looking at the booking sheet, there are eight spots available,  if you are looking for a game.

 There is a slight change to an upcoming event, on Tuesday July 22nd, we host Wingham Vets for a return visit. They have 27 players listed to visit us. To accommodate that number, we need to have a shotgun start, so there will be an 8:30am shotgun start for that event.

Sponsors are a very important part of our organisation, I would like to think of them as partners, they help us, hoping we will help them, ie. do business with their business. Please when contemplating a purchase, all I would ask is you give our sponsors a thought, “Can I buy this item from them?”

 Talking about sponsors, we are seeking new sponsors, some of our sponsors have  pulled out, after years of contributing and we thank them and appreciate the support they have given us. If you know of a business who may like to sponsor one or more events, please talk to us. From a retail business point of view, if they donated vouchers, this would bring new customers to their business and the voucher holder may spend a lot more than the voucher value. Talk to Graeme Heggarty, Peter Abell or myself if you know of a potential sponsor.

We need to talk about the moving of our Tuesday event to Kempsey on the 5th August, because Wauchope is not available to us on that day. Negotiations with Kempsey  club, Green Fees are to be the same as we usually pay at home $16,  a manual timesheet will be available from this Tuesday, it will have one tee hit-off times from 8:00am to 9:24am. Golf carts  are in short supply, so if you need one, you will need to take your own, which you will not have to pay to go on the course. I would appreciate if players who take carts, fill the seat beside them on this occasion. More info on the day as it gets closer.
 
We pride ourselves on having a presentation each week, where players stay back or some come back if they are in the winning circuit. We reward players for their attendance by having the Beer Draw, you have a chance of winning one of  eight six packs of beer.  But we would really like you to stay back for the presentation, not to listen to me,  but to uphold tradition and show your support  for the success of the winners of the day and maybe win a six pack of beer.

There are three sheets on the board for our visits  at the back end of July.  First is to Harrington for the Harri-Hope Shield on Friday 18th July, this is a popular event, at present there are 18-20 players listed.

Secondly, to Kempsey for Bill Medley Shield, on Friday 25th July there is a good response to this visit with about 20 players nominated. Thirdly, Monday 28th July to Tuncurry course, this again is a popular trip and there is about 20 players nominated.
 
Results from Thursday 26th June 9 Hole Single Stableford, there were 38 players.
Winners: Gary Murrell 21 points, Bob Baker 20 points, Adrian Stagg 19 points
Nearest the pin: Geoff Collins 1.59m
Balls to 16 points.
18 points: John Shaw, Ian Bain, Cyril Clark
17 points: Ken Gallie, Syd Stewart, John Schubert, Stuart Murrell, Jeff Palmer, Dennis Hughes
16 points: Doug Connell, Paul Stewart, Allan Harris

 Good Golfing!
