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.
