Wauchope Men's Vets weekly update 16.11

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

Next Tuesday 18^th November is a Single Stableford event sponsored by ANZ Bank. The timesheet has 4 vacancies at present, so as I say. Get in now if you are looking for a game.

As  a trial in December start times are going to be 30 minutes earlier than now, first hit-off is 7:29am with last hit-off at 9:30am. The first day this will come into effect is 2 weeks time 2^nd December. There have been many requests to start earlier in summer, with the temperatures starting to soar, the earlier in the day golfers can be off the course the better. Dennis Hughes has looked at the times to open the online bookings and feels that 7:00am is adequate, but if that shows a problem we will look at changing it.

So what does this mean to you? When you go into to book on Tuesday for 2nd December times will be 30 minutes earlier. If successful, it will continue until late Feb/March.

Two events are happening on Friday 21^st November, Bus trip to Nambucca Heads Island Golf Club and Zone 12 Vets Championships at South West Rocks.

The trip to Nambucca has 37 starters and 21 on the bus counting Allan Brooke our reliable driver. Thank you Allan for hiring and driving and looking after the passengers.

Those travelling by bus need to confirm times on Tuesday, those travelling by car need to arrive in time for a 9:00am shotgun start.

There are four players participating in the Zone Championships,  it is a shotgun start at 9:00am with registration from 7:00am. Good Luck to our players.

These events hopefully will not clash next year, the Nambucca Trip will be on the 13^th November and the Zone Championships on 20^th November. That might mean we have better representation in the Zone Championships.

Hams Day is on the 9^th December, tickets will be given to all players who have qualified for a ham on Tuesday 2^nd December. It will be in the form of an envelope with Ham Ticket, Meal Ticket and Drink Ticket included. If you are unable to play or attend on Tuesday 9^th December, proxy information may be written on the back of the envelope and the envelope presented by the nominated proxy on the day. The sheet with the number of games players have played is on the Notice Board in the Club.
