Wauchope Men's Vets weekly update 15.11

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

 Next Tuesday 17^th November is a Single Stableford sponsored by the ANZ Bank. Sorry I misled you at the presentation last Tuesday saying Tuesday 17^th is Bi-Monthly Medal, it is  Tuesday 24^th November.

Looking at the booking sheet for Tuesday 17^th Nov. there are 4 vacant spots on the front nine if you are interested in playing. Look forward to seeing you.

If you are ever looking for past results, they are all posted on the Wauchope Men’s Veterans Blogsite at    http://wauchopemensvets.blogspot.com.au/ , there are also some Weekly updates, but I must be vigilant and post all the updates. There has been over 12,000 hits on the Blogsite since I started in 2013.

Friday 13^th November the bus trip to Nambucca Island Golf Club went ahead. Although numbers were a little disappointing, a good day was enjoyed by all.  The bus travellers had the luxury of a 28 seat bus for the price of a 22 seat bus. Thank you to Richard Pierce for driving, he did a great job getting everybody back by about 4:30pm. Thank you to all the Bus riders for being early at your designated pick-up points, it meant the bus arrived a little early at Nambucca. Now about the golf, 20 players contested the Single Stableford event, the Winner was John Jokantas with 37 points from Mike Sheldon 34 points, Graham Ferguson 31 points, other scores I was told about are Fred Ertl 30 points, Greg Stewart 30 points, Dennis Hughes 30 points. John Jokantas received a golf shirt donated by Steve of the Nambucca Pro Shop, the ball rundown went to 15 points. I don’t feel so bad, a couple of years ago I got a ball for 17 points, it can do that to you.

 

The Travellers Trophy must nearly have determined the winner with John Jokantas’s score on Friday, Iam not sure who is running second at the present moment. Fred Ertl is the only player who has played all 12 games in the travellers Trophy, well done Fred. With one more game to be played at Harrington on Friday 27^th November, we will present the vouchers at Presentation on Tuesday 1^st December.

 

As I mentioned there is still a game to be played for the Travellers which is Harrington on Friday 27^th November, I need to finalise names by 20^th November, so please place your name on the sheet.

The other game on that day is the Zone 12 Championships at SWR, that sheet is on the noticeboard and I will be submitting those names next week also.

Tickets for Hams will be distributed from next Tuesday, you need to present your ticket, so don’t lose it,  If you are unable to play on the 8^th December you will need to name a proxy on the back of your ticket and sign it please. Hams will be ordered for the number of tickets distributed so you need to pick up or proxy or tell us you don’t want one.

It seems the Pro Shop has a small problem on Tuesdays with all the Vets getting $50 notes out from under the bed, Neil runs out of change. If you think of it, see if you can bring a$20 note to pay your Green fees, it would be appreciated.
