Wauchope Men's Vets weekly update 27.07

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

Another busy week has passed us. Thank you to all our members for the participation last Tuesday when we had a field of 148 players. It was a bit slow but when the course is full from the moment the go button is pressed, I don’t think we can expect much more. Future visits to and from Wingham we will be playing for the Neil Grant Memorial Shield which will be decided by the top ten scores from each club at each venue totalled to determine the winner. The Shield has been purchased is ready for next year.

Tuesday 29^th July is President’s Day, a Single Stableford. Looking at the computer sheet this afternoon, shows there are only 2 spots vacant, if you are looking for a hit on Tuesday you should get quick.

I asked my Roving Reporter Mr Dennis Hughes to report on Friday’s Bill Medley Shield at Kempsey, (if you detect a little bias, its ok, as Dennis is the Bill Medley Shield Selector). Here is Dennis’s Report.

“Great day at Kempsey with the greens 250% better than last year. Full coverage of grass and holding.

Results. Points. 1st Wauchope 234. 2nd Equal Port Macquarie, South West Rocks & Kempsey 229, 5th Equal Kew & Freddo 218 pts with Crescent Head 204 pts.

 
Progressive totals. Port Macquarie 941, Wauchope 925, South West Rocks 906, Kew 903, Freddo 897, Kempsey 896 and CH 601.

Rod Millican won the day with 39 pts and Keith Martin won B grade with 37 pts

Poor old Dicko had 38 pts but lost C grade on a c/b
Others 34 pts Darryl Morrow, Dennis Hughes, John Uncle, 34 pts David Mills and Kevin Miller 33 pts..All won balls
Others Ian Ban 29, Phil Rarity 30, Bob Maggs 31, Rod Allen 32, Allan Lynch 30, Doug Connell 32, Quenton Henry 30, Peter Abell, 30, JJ 26, Jeff Tinsley 26, Didnt see what Ralph Newell got.”

Thank you Dennis a great result only 16 points behind Port Macquarie, which means it is very important for us to field  a really good team for Port Macquarie Bill Medley on Monday 11^th August, also thank you for the report.

Kempsey has asked us to collect the Green Fees for Tuesday 5^th August in advance of our visit. We will attempt to collect as many as possible on Tuesday, the cost is $16. This will help the Pro shop on the day and they will print  our cards and finalise the competition.

There are about 23 players travelling to Tuncurry tomorrow 28.07, I feel everybody has been notified of Bus times and  Hit off times, the cost is $25 for Golf, Tuncurry Burger lunch, scones and morning tea on arrival, bus is $5.  Have a good day!!!

Monday 11^th August, Bill Medley at Port Macquarie (sheet on board or table)
Monday 25^th August, Wal Sneddon Shield at Kew Golf Club
