Easter Cup

Old Course, Wembley Golf Complex, 30 March 2013.
Stableford Play

Gorgeous weather today at the Wembley Golf Complex, sun shining and temperature in the mid 20's. And start time at a more civilized 8:45 time :)
21 eager contestants today for the Easter Cup, that was won by Richard last year.
Thanks to Kerry for sponsoring the prize today.
 
Our guest Kevan scored 119 off the stick, here come the other scores.

Stableford and AGM

A good turnout and a very enjoyable day's golf on the Old Course. Strangely, most of us seem to have mastered that drive off the first tee - it was in the more obscure parts of the course where we came undone.

Congratulations to Gary and LInh, who were married on Wednesday. Good to see you got a leave pass, mate.

Point of Order, Mr President - I'm handicapped by my handicap!
Guests and prospective members had some very respectable scores - Jason hit an 87, Brett came home with 99, Glenda a very impressive 39 points and Step with 32. Brett has applied for membership, and been accepted.

That's the great thing about the treasurer sponsoring the prize - you don't get salad servers!

Many thanks to Peter for his generous sponsorship today.

Yes, I choked. You get that at top level of golf like this.
And then we had the AGM: a quick summary of the important stuff -

  • We currently have 36 members, with another 6 or 7 prospective
  • Finances are in good shape - so good in fact that your thirtieth game this calendar year will be free!!
  • Membership will stay at $65

How come there's only the girlie balls left when I win one?
And the new committee looks like this:


President
Kerry Gardner
Captain
Earle Scarff
Vice-Captain
Judith Lotuft
Treasurer
Peter Baird
Booking Officer
Glen Pope
Communications Officer
Lorenzo Ferrentino
Social Committee
Stephanie Jeffares

Shelley Yeo

Malcolm Yeo

Bernie Caffrey



We wish you all the very best, and thanks for volunteering - your efforts are much appreciated.

That's the last time. I'm not doing this crap any more now I'm Vice-Captain.
