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.
