Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers
Next Tuesday 24th February is a Single Stableford, 8:30am
Shotgun Start. I apologise for 8:04 on the computer timesheet, but it is
definitely 8:30am. There are 30 Vets from Harrington visiting us for the 1st
Round of the Harri-Hope Shield. Looking at the timesheet there is 1 position
available. Could I suggest players arrive early have a cuppa, organise your
group and get to the Tee before 8:30. Harrington players will need some help
finding their allocated tee, so please help them. Also know which Tee you are
hitting off before paying at the Pro Shop, we will have a list outside the Pro
Shop to help you.
The Club received an email last Tuesday night from a member
of Wauchope Men’s Golf Club (not a Vet) and I will quote. “I played the back
nine after work and was disgusted with the state of the greens. The people who
played the competition that took place that day obviously felt they were beyond
having to repair their divots. On Holes 15, 16, 17 and 18 there would be no
fewer than 80 divots not repaired. The Greenkeepers and Ground Staff do such a
great job to keep the course looking and playing fantastic even in trying
conditions, just for these people to let us all down. If doing something as
repairing a divot is too hard then maybe it is time to stop playing.”
While it is disappointing that anybody should write a letter
about us, it is also disappointing if they were a quarter correct, it is not a
good situation. Please be aware the greens are very soft at the present, you
may have made a divot without realising it. Also if you see an unrepaired divot
please fix it.
On a brighter note, 15 players travelled to Crescent Head
last Tuesday to contest the 1st Round of the Bill Medley Shield. Les Wren was
the star of the day winning with 43 points, John Baker had 40 points (5th),
Doug Connell 39 points (6th) with Darryl Morrow and myself also winning a ball.
Les was in the team, but unfortunately the other ball winners were not. The
present Bill Medley Points table is: Frederickton 253 points, SW Rocks 236
points, Port Macquarie 230 points, Wauchope 223 points, Crescent Head 223
points, Kew 213 points, Kempsey 204 points. We are still very much in the
competition, the next couple of rounds will tell. I have sent 30 names to
participate in Kew’s Bill Medley Shield round on Friday 6th March. Our turn
comes on Friday 17th April with an 8:30am Shotgun start.
The players who played Crescent Head are in the Travellers
Competition the best average of 9 of the 13 games either away from Wauchope or
on another day other than Tuesday at Wauchope. There is $60 first prize and $40
second prize. These are the 13 games
