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 6^th October, you will notice it is an 8:30am Shotgun start, with visitors from Kew Golf Club booked in.

Tuesday  30^th 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 24^th 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 7^th Hole.
