Men's Vets Weekly update 04.10.

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

I am back at the computer, thank you to all the well wishes, I really appreciated them

Next Tuesday 6th October is an 8:30am Shotgun Start, 2nd leg of the Wal Sneddon Shield played against Kew Country Club. There is one vacancy at present, if you want to play get quickly. The event is a Single Stableford sponsored by are Ian Hackney, Jim Bransdon, Keith Martin, John Schubert. I thank them very much for their sponsorship. Being a Shotgun start I would ask players to be early, the same situation will apply as in the past, `Pay in Pro-Shop, pick-up card outside Pro-Shop. There will be Alphabetical lists of players on display. The Wal Sneddon Shield is at stake, Kew are leading us by 54  points ( Kew 756, Wauchope 702 points). Scoring based on the top 20 scores of each club on the day.

Next Tuesday  when booking for a fortnights time, Dennis has indicated “Next Tuesday I will do all the names of the guys who usually come in early and will allow the internet to open at 6.30”.

******Important Notice######

The Bill Medley Shield at South West Rocks has changed their Hit-off time, it is now an 11:00am Shotgun Start, I hope this doesn’t discourage players who have already nominated nor those 20 players who will be able to nominate on Tuesday, we absolutely need more players to give Dennis a broader base to select from. We will be canvassing for players on Tuesday as our nomination sheet needs to be finalised by Tuesday afternoon. We are 5 points in front, we need to extend our lead to be able to win the Shield.

Very important Date: Sunday 25th October 2015 at 10am is Annual General Meeting of the Wauchope Country Club, there is a need for a good attendance of golfers on that day. There will be a number of golfers standing for the Board, Peter Abell has been nominated as one of the seven Directors and together with Alan Rudd standing for President and Ian Hackney standing for Vice President and there well maybe other golfers.

It is imperative that we have a very strong representation of members of the men’s vets and other golfers to vote for positions on the board. Peter Abell has indicated his presence on the board will be as a representative of the golfers and especially the men’s vets to ensure we get a fair share of entitlements from the Country Club. Please put “Sunday 25th October 2015 at 10am is Annual General Meeting of the Wauchope Country Club” in your diary.

Days of the future:

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.
