Wauchope Men's Vets weekly update 23.08

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

 Next Tuesday 25^th August is a Single Stableford, sponsored by John Patrick Prestige Cars. Looking at the Start sheet, which I cannot do because there is a problem with the server at the Club. I will ask Dennis H to place the usual names down if the server is not up by Tuesday morning.

 

Tomorrow, (Tues.24^th Aug) there are 30 players travelling to Kew Golf Club for the 1^st Round of the Wal Sneddon Shield, thank you for the response, we need the top 20 scores from each club. Good luck and good golfing to all those players.

 The Week of Golf is the 3^rd and 4^th September, it is 2 shotgun starts each day 1 at 7:00am and the other at 12:00pm, John Uncle will be available on Tuesday to take your nominations and cash if you wish to play. What we do need are volunteers, these are required for spotting to assist with the speed of play, also card distribution and collection etc. Peter Abell is collecting names of volunteers. There are a lot of visitors who play in the WOG, so it is important we conduct an event which is first class. There is a presentation dinner on Friday night 4^th Sept.

Tuesday 8^th September is the Men’s Vets AGM. The day will start with an 8:00am Shotgun Start,  2 Man Ambrose, then the AGM and then lunch and maybe a drink. The Committee nomination sheet is on the noticeboard and we will bring it down to the main table on Tuesday. We need people to join the committee, inject some new ideas, promote an activity which is appreciated by all our members, help organise functions, tournaments etc. If everybody does a little bit and injects a few new ideas the Club will progress, keep up with the times, assist people to get out of home and play golf etc. It is rewarding. Our meetings are held on the 2^nd Tuesday of each month after the presentation and go for about an hour. There are not only golf functions to be performed, but Social, Welfare, obtaining sponsors, raffles, as well as all the golfing functions if you like that side of it. Please give it some thought.

The Frederickton leg of the Bill Medley Shield is on Wednesday 16^th September. Nominations close on the 28^th August which is next Friday, at present there are 17 starters on the sheet, it would be good

to get a few more. Remember we are equal first with Port Macquarie at the present moment and Fredo are coming third, 36 points behind Port and Wauchope. It is Fredo’s home course so we can expect them to do well and probably catch up a few points, Wauchope need to keep leading this Shield, put your name down, you will enjoy the course and you will give Dennis more options, when he selecting the team.

 Last week I said we were going to Taree Golf Club on Monday 28^th Sept. it should have been Friday 25^th Sept. which is not far away. Rod Millican has put a sheet out for nominations. We will talk more about this day later.

Talking of booking in, there will not be a vets competition to book into on Tuesday 1st September the Men’s Golf, Thursday competition is on that day, this is because of the Week of Golf on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th September. The Tuesday 1st Sept. booking will not open until 6:00am on Thursday 20th August. I hope that is clear, if you get up early to book a fortnight ahead you can sleep in next Tuesday. Set the Alarm we need you at golf a little later!!!!!

If you would like to play in the Week of Golf, please see John Uncle on Tuesday or email me and I will forward the request to John. There are still spots available, play 2 days and be in the daily events plus 36 hole overall event or play one day in the daily event. It is 2 shotgun starts each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and a presentation dinner on Friday night.

The nomination sheet for Office bearers for Wauchope Men’s Veterans Golf Club is on the Vets 2nd Board in the hall between the bar and bistro. Nominations close on Tuesday 1st September. Please give some thought about joining the Committee, we need help, some existing committee members have indicated they may not renominate. To post a nomination you need a Candidate, Proposer, Seconder and Consent of the Candidate to filled out on the sheet.

Monday 24th August is the 1st leg of this year’s Wal Sneddon Shield at Kew Golf Club. This competition is held between Kew and Wauchope and is based on the top 20 scores from each Club. Monday 24th August is a 8:30am Shot gun start,  $14 includes a Sausage sandwich, (good value). I have 25 starters so far, Kew said they have room for more players so if you would like to play let me know by email or Dennis on Tuesday. I have attached the Tee allocations sheet for those already nominated.

Wauchope Men's Vets weekly update 09.08

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

Next Tuesday 11^th August, is a Single Stableford event, Bob Woodlands Memorial Day. At present there are about 14  vacancies so if you are looking for a game get in.

On Monday there are about 30 players going to Port Macquarie to play in the Bill Medley Shield. It is an important game to us as we have hit the front of the field. I wish all our players the best of luck especially if they are selected in the team. I also wish Dennis H luck in his selections, he has been pondering over the selections for over a week. Remember if you do not wish to know if you are in the Team, email back to me and I will ensure you don’t, (that way there is no pressure). I will send an email to all PM participants after this email.

The nomination sheet is available for the Wal Sneddon Shield at Kew on Monday 24^th  August, I expect it will be a 2 Tee start, integrated into Kew’s weekly event. As soon as I get more info I will let you know. If you require a cart please call the Pro Shop 6559 4596. This event is very close in time, I need a lot more names for us to even be competitive. The Wal Sneddon Shield is based on the top 20 scores from Kew and Wauchope so we need at least 20, hopefully 30. We hold the Shield after winning it last year 1454 to 1412 points last year.

 

The AGM and BBQ will be held on Tuesday September 8^th, the nomination sheet should be on the board now, please give some thought about joining the committee.

 

After the PM, BMS, the next BMS is at Frederickton on Wednesday 16^th September, if you haven’t played Royal Fredo, it is a pleasant experience, being a 9 hole course it is well groomed, actually surprisingly so. Put a little note in your calendar!

The Week of Golf (WOG) is not far away, in the preparation, volunteers are canvassed for their services over the 2 days. The WOG  is to be held on Thursday 3^rd September and Friday 4^th September.

Peter Abell will be asking for volunteers, the duties which need to be filled are Organising Tea & Coffee each Day, Registration on Wednesday afternoon, Card Distribution AM and PM each day, Spotters, 2^nd, 4^th, 11^th, 12^th, 13^th, 15^th, 18^th Holes, Card Collection, Leaderboard entries. You may be able to help us out on one, two or both days, we welcome your enquiry.

If you are wanting to play in the WOG please see John Uncle he is taking entries from our Club

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

 

Next Tuesday 4th August (yes, August already!) is a Single Stableford, Presidents Day. Looking at the booking sheet there are 7 vacant spots, get in if you are looking for a game.

Tomorrow Monday 3rd August  is the Bus trip to Tuncurry. Tuncurry have donated the Curry-Hope Shield, it is the 10 best scores by each club, but will be played for at Tuncurry only this year. We have 26 players travelling down. Good Luck to all players, if this weather keeps up it will be a great day.

Monday 10th August is the Bill Medley at Port Macquarie, I sent 32 names over last Wednesday but haven’t heard back about Tees etc. Dennis will be busy selecting the team, given 32 players he has plenty to select from, but it also creates a lot of analytic concentration. Good luck, Dennis.

 On Monday 24th August, Wauchope Vets will be visiting Kew for the 1st leg of the Wal Sneddon Shield, the nomination sheet for this event has not been posted yet, but if you are interested in going we will start a list on Tuesday, it is always a good day at Kew.

We are getting close to 2 important events for Wauchope Vets, 1 is the Week of Golf played over 2 days on Thursday 3rd September and Friday 4th September, the sheets will be open to our members very soon.

The AGM is on Tuesday 8th September, Iam not sure who is renominating for positions on the Committee, but we always welcome new blood in. If someone would like to nominate for the Captains position, please do, you won’t be hurting my feelings or join the committee with that endeavour next year. 

I don’t have the Thursday 9 Hole scores, so I will have to give it a miss this week

Good Golfing!
