Wauchope Men's Vets weekly update 17.01

Wauchope Men’s Veteran Golfers

Next Tuesday 19^th January is the first Bi-Monthly Medal for the year, so that means a Single Stroke event, plus Putting Competition sponsored by Al Muller and Bill Wagner and Eclectic Round 2 sponsored by Dennis Hughes and John Uncle. Looking at the timesheet there is only one vacancy.

Could I mention to members the new arrangement with the Club we no longer receive a subsidy from the Club, but we now receive $1 extra per player from the Green Fees. This can be advantageous to us, on the other hand, detrimental, if numbers are up and managed we will do better, if days are rained out or carts not allowed or members leave it to the last minute to pull out or don’t pull out at all, leaving no option for  other players to take their place we will lose money. An example is over 50 week/games 5 players leave pulling out until the last minute or not pulling out it will cost at least $250.00 over the year in subsidies. Please think of the Club, when you are not able to play but your name is still there, you could be giving someone else a chance to play and for our Club to prosper.

The holiday period is over, the emails are streaming in and events happening.

Crescent Head Bill Medley Shield is on Tuesday 16^th February, I have a list of about 17 players for that day, normally restricted to 10 players per Club, I have agreement with Crescent Head they will try to accommodate us, carts maybe an issue as they only have 6 Hire Carts (if you are wanting a cart ring CHCC on 6566 0268) tell them if you would like to play early as they are able to move a few players early. Please if you are able to take your own cart up, please do. List will be on the front table on Tuesday.

I have received the invitation from Kew Country Club for their Bill Medley event,

Harrington Waters Vets visit us on Tuesday 23^rd February this is a 8:00am Shotgun Start contesting the first leg of the Harri-Hope Shield which we hold at present.

There was talk in the Club last Tuesday about Bonville events being played by Mid Nth Coast Vets, while I encourage Vets to travel and experience other courses, I am also mindful the Bonville events are on Tuesdays, hence I don’t like promoting events which will take players away from our competition (Crescent Head exempted). Here is the message I received for Mid Nth Coast Vets’ John Plummer.

“Bonville’s dates are 16 February, 5 April, 14 June, and, 9 August.
Of course you and your Vets are welcome.  However, as Bonville give us eighty spots I must look after our members first.  Usually we have spots available though.  So give me your names and Golf Link numbers early and, hopefully, I can confirm your bookings about the week before game days.   The cost is about $60.00 which includes a cart.   This rate is about half price and the best deal in town.”             
I will add the first date coincides with Crescent Head, so would discourage visits on that day. It is not a shotgun start at Bonville so the suitability of taking a bus is reduced.
