Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

Next Tuesday 22^nd September is the Bi-Monthly Medal, Single Stroke event, in conjunction is the Putting Competition sponsored by Al Muller and Bill Wagner, thank you Al and Bill for your support during the year. Also is the Final round of the Eclectic which is sponsored by Dennis Hughes and John Uncle, thank you for your support. At the present time there are 4 spots available on Tuesday, if you are looking for a spot, get in now.

Seeing that the rain is about at the moment and we may get some this summer. Dennis Hughes has asked me to inform our members, if you pull out during the game, because of rain, sickness etc, Do Not Enter your card as NCR or any input to the computer, just write on the card why you withdrew and place it in the box. Have your partners sign the card. Of course this request is not only for Vets events, it is for all Club events.

Well on a brighter note, on Wednesday 19 players travelled to Royal Frederickton. It was in really good condition. The Bill Medley Shield results are below :-

 

		Cres. H.	Kew	Wauch	Kempsey	P. Mac	Fredo	SWR
17.2.15	Cres. H	223	213	223	204	230	253	236

Totals		916	1339	1378	1233	1373	1347	1330

You will notice Wauchope have just stuck their head in front by 5 points from Port Macquarie. Congratulations to the team and Chief Selector Dennis for their efforts. Dennis top scored for the Team with 39 points. Other members who didn’t quite make the team also excelled Greg Stewart won the day with 42 points c/b, Bruce Amey was second with 42 points and Kevin Miller was 4^th with 41 points. I must apologise to Kevin Miller, I made a mistake with his card which cost him 2 points and relegated him to 4^th place, sorry Kevin. This means we need a good number of players to go to South West Rocks on Friday 16^th October. While the nomination sheet is not out yet, please put this date in your calendar.

Coming up on the Tuesday 6^th October is the return game with Kew for the Wal Sneddon Shield, at present they lead by  54  points ( Kew 756, Wauchope 702 points), but we should be able to claw that back at home. It is based on the top 20 scores from each club. It is an 8:30am shotgun start so it should be a great day, by the way we are defending the Shield.

Also the Foursome Championships are on Tuesday 29^th September, there was a little confusion when the Timesheets came out in 6s. When you send the field out in 6s that reduces the number of timeslots, but equates to the same number of spots available. I totally agree with this concept, the flow is as quick as 4 players playing Stableford. You can even make it faster,(you only hit every second shot) so there is no need for both players to go up to the Tee, only the designated players hitting off that tee, the other player can be half way down the fairway etc.

I have confirmed our booking at Nambucca Heads, Island Course on Friday 13^th November. We are booked for at least 30 players, it is a 9:00am Shotgun start, it will be a bus trip, I hope Alan Brooke is back in town by that stage. For those who have not experienced Nambucca Course, you will find it interesting, scenic, some holes frustrating, the Clubhouse welcoming, the meals good. What more can I say! The nomination sheet will be available from next Tuesday, come and have a good day out. I must point out carts are available at $30 per cart, please book them through the Pro Shop on 6569 4111.

Thursday 17^th September  Vets 9 Hole Stableford Results, 35 starters

Wauchope Men's Vets weekly update 13.09

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

 I trust you all had a great Fathers, Grandfathers, Great Grandfathers Day last Sunday.

Tuesday 15^th September is a Single Stableford sponsored by Hastings Fresh Meats, Port Macquarie. Looking at the sheet for Tuesday there are 9 spots vacant, jump in quick if you are looking for a game. Thank you Hastings Fresh Meats, they have been very loyal sponsors over the years.

You should start to organise your partner for Tuesday 29th September, Foursomes Championships, Sponsored by Thompson’s Home Hardware, Wauchope. When booking in a fortnight ahead on Tuesday you will be booking for this event. This event could break the greatest of friendships. Remember, Partnered players must be in the Player 1 & 2 or 3&4 positions of the booking sheet. Eligibility applies to this event.

The AGM is over for 2015, Birthday Drinks are gone, more shotgun starts to be considered. The Committee now comprises of President Peter Abell, Vice President Rod Millican, Secretary John Jokantas, Treasurer Quenton Henry, Captain Ross Bird, Vice Captain Dennis Hughes. Committee members, Arthur Hoare, Graham Ferguson, Graham Haggerty, John Ford, Greg Stewart, Glenn Regan. Welcome to all. Ex Officio Members are John Uncle, Tournament Director, Week of Golf and Bob Morgan covering the Treasurer. Congratulations to all, we have an exciting year ahead of us. Iam sure the new Committee members bring a new set of skills and ideas to our Committee.

Next Wednesday 16^th September we have about 18 players going to Frederickton to play the Bill Medley Shield. Dennis will be scratching his head while pondering which players to select for our Team. Iam sure whoever makes the team, will perform to the best of their abilty on the day.

Good Luck and Good Golfing to those players. 

The last BMS event for 2015 is at South West Rocks on Friday 16^th October. The nomination sheet should be available soon. Talking of games away, the Taree game on Friday 25^th September has not had a lot of interest so far, we will discuss at the committee meeting on Tuesday what will happen there.

Tuesday 6^th October we host Kew Country Club Vets for the Wal Sneddon Shield final leg. It is a 8:30am Shotgun start, that sheet will open on 22^nd September.

Unfortunately I do not have the results from Thursday Vets 9 Hole event, as I have been confined to the house with a slight bout of the flu.

That’s about it for this week!

Good Golfing!

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

To all those Fathers out there “Happy Father’s Day”

Looking at the sheet for Tuesday 8th September there is one vacancy, it is a 2 Man Ambrose, 8:00am Shotgun Start, followed by the AGM and lunch. Please be there early to pick up your card. We will do the same as usual, pay in Pro Shop, pick your card up outside Pro Shop. The AGM will be conducted in the Auditorium downstairs, please sign the register on arrival. Those members who have not received their 2015-16 membership card, would you see me, I should have one for you.

I need to apologise to a group of our members who sponsor an event. It seems we/I always seem to leave one off when announcing the sponsorship and with tradition I omitted one last week. The Sponsors for Tuesday 6th October are Ian Hackney, Jim Bransdon, Keith Martin, John Schubert. I thank them very much for their sponsorship.

I have the hit off times for our players who are going to Frederickton on Wednesday 16th September, I will email them to the players who are going up. I will say more about Freddo next week. It is on the Noticeboard at the Club.

The week of Golf concluded on Friday, it was extremely successful. This is a good money spinner for the Country Club, as most contestants are travelling in caravans and like to spend a bit of money in the Club. I would like to say the meal we enjoyed on Friday night at Week of Golf Presentation was superb, the Bistro staff went to a lot of trouble to ensure the night was a success, thank you Margaret and staff. Thank you also to John Uncle, Peter Abell, Dennis Hughes, Dawn Abell, Jan Grant and all the members who unselfishly donated their time to the many tasks it takes to make the day successful.

And thank you to Clark who was the major sponsor of the event, there were “On Course” vouchers everywhere and stayed open so the visitors could use the vouchers after the presentation.

Coming up :

Tuesday 8th September AGM and 2 man Ambrose, 8:00am Shotgun start.

Wednesday 16th September, Bill Medley Shield at Frederickton. I have submitted 18 names as our entry. Dennis will be contemplating selections over the next few weeks, it would be good to nudge ahead in the Shield at Fredo, going into the final BMS game at South West Rocks on Friday 16th October.

Tuesday 29th September, Foursomes Championships, Sponsored by Thompson’s Home Hardware, Wauchope. Eligibility applies to this event.

Tuesday 6th October, the 2nd leg of the Wal Sneddon Shield at Wauchope, This will be a 8:30am Shotgun start, we have about 50 points to make up on the top 20 scores from each club. This day is sponsored by Ian Hackney, Jim Bransdon and Keith Martin, John Schubert

Friday 16th October, BMS at South West Rocks

Tuesday 27th October is a 7:30 am Shotgun start, Best 2 of 4 Stableford, this is because the Australian Left Handed Golfers Championship has a 12:30pm Shotgun start that day. The plan is we will get out of their way early, for such  prestigious event.
