Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers
Next Tuesday 23rd
September the event is a Single Stroke, Bi-Monthly Medal, as usual in
conjunction is Putting Competition sponsored by Al Muller and Bill Wagner,
thank you very much. Also is Round 5 of the Eclectic, which is sponsored by
Dennis Hughes and John Uncle, thank you. Looking at the booking sheet, there
are 8 spots available if you are looking for a game. Also when you are booking in
for Tuesday 6th October, you will notice it is an 8:30am Shotgun
start, with visitors from Kew Golf Club booked in. The event is a Single
Stableford contesting for Wal Sneddon Shield.
Tuesday 30th
September is the Foursome Championships (conditions apply, see Club
Championships in the Fixture Book)
Last Wednesday the Bill Medley Shield Round was at
Frederickton Golf Club, or as it is known in some circles “Royal Fredo”. It was
my first visit and what a pleasant surprise it was. The course looked a picture
and played similar. The greens must rate with the best in the district. Wauchope
caught up 8 points on Port Macquarie and now need 22 points in the last round
at South West Rocks in October to topple Port. The rundown of scores after
Frederickton is Port Macquarie 1404
points, Wauchope 1383 points, Kew 1358 points, South West Rocks 1356 points,
Frederickton 1337 points, Kempsey 1314 points, Crescent Head Unsure of the
exact count).
Frederickton and
South West Rocks topped the day with 252 points each. It is close, so we need
as many players as possible to nominate to go to South West Rocks and give
Dennis a wide range to select the team from. I may have confused people with
the date for SWR, it is Friday 24th October, put that date in
your diary, and come up and play at SWR and see if we can win the Bill Medley
Shield. Congratulations to Dennis Hughes on the good job he did in selecting
the team for Fredo, it is not an easy task.Individual results involving our players, John Baker had 43 points and won the day on a countback from a Port player, Bruce Amey 40 points, Ross Bird 39 points (now you see why I liked it), Daryl Morrow and Ralph Newall 38 points, the ball rundown to 37 points. Ralph Newall won the Nearest the pin on the 7th Hole.
