Wauchope Men's Weekly update 20/09

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 :-

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.
