CLUB
The Ladies v Men was all woe for the men.
We had 20 players; they only had 12. We
gave them 4 of ours to even it out. The
matches were 8 apiece at the finish of the day
so we went to stableford points and the ladies
won by 2. The winners for the ladies were
Gail Moroney & Prue Gutzeit 45pts c/b and
Dave Foster & Graham Nesbitt 44pts for the
men on a c/b from Margot Owen and Annette
Smith who played for the males.

Two congratulations are in order. Firstly, to
our club GNSW Medal winners Debbie
Collins, Chris Besley and Mary Wright. The
win qualifies them to play in the District Final
to be held at Queanbeyan on November 2nd.
Welcome to new member Gail Kennerley.
Gail has returned to golf after a long absence
without losing too much form. We predict
she will soon be moving quickly down the
handicap ladder.
The weather has not been kind to us in August
with one day’s play cancelled and another
where we had 37 starters with 15 finishing
but we are looking forward to a big day for
our annual First National Real Estate
sponsored 3 person Stabrose. To be held on
September 16, it is a very popular event and
14 teams from district clubs have already
registered.
The ladies would like to welcome our new
Club Professional Andrew Grove. We hope
you have a long and prosperous time with our
club.
CAPTAIN BILL’S REPORT
From the unbelievable bank:
I thought that the old GIO salesman was the
worst offender, but when a former committee
man (and scratch golfer) puts in his, sorry,
vice-president’s stableford points instead of
his stroke, what chance have we got? Thanks
“J”. He was one of 3 on a Thursday last
month.
GENTLEMEN: I use that term loosely. I had
a complaint from a member of the public who
regularly uses May Street as a working and
walking area. If you find the urgent need to
“go”, be aware of your surroundings. It is
technically a criminal offence to flash your
‘willy’ even when caught short. She
described one member, enough to identify
him, (no not the offending part), was
struggling to see same. So, a bit of
decorum/modesty/thought, please!
Thanks to all members using carts, bikes,
scooters etc. for keeping off the fairways. For
those who do not keep up with the weather, it
has stopped the mowing of the fairways for
over 7 weeks. And now that we have had
some (albeit welcome) rain, please
understand that wheeled, motorized vehicles
driving on saturated ground do cause
damage.
Thanks to Darran and his team for a great job!
We have had a few discussions recently about
pin placements, bunkers etc. and we should
see an improvement. If you have a legitimate
complaint about the course, the first place of
contact is the manager or myself, to pass on
to management, not the green staff. The
course staff are employees under Robbie’s
control and should not be approached with
complaints.
I am out of here for a bit of a break. I am
hoping to get to the top of Australia.
See you in late September.

RULES
Failure to Return Score Card & Provisional Handicaps
A handicap will lose its full status in the event that a player should accrue in their most
recent 20 Actual Scores five or more entries with a status of “No Score - Not Approved”.
Such a handicap will be known as a “Provisional GA Handicap”.
Full status is regained when the number of “No Score – Not Approved” entries in the
most 20 recent Actual Scores decreases to four or less.
Players with Provisional GA Handicaps will not be eligible to win prizes in competitions.
There are Members that currently have such a handicap.

Sunday September 6. We will be having a two course special for $25 a head. To start
there will be a classic Prawn Cocktail followed by a 250g Rump Steak served with chips
& salad & your choice of sauce. Our normal bistro menu will also be available. Bookings
are recommended.

STOP PRESS
(For younger members, that means additional to content in the first print)
Manager Rob advises that Goulburn Mulwaree Council has purchased the New South
Wales Golf Championships for the next three years. The winner of this event will gain
entry to the New South Wales Open. The first event will be run on the 29 th and 30th
October 2016. All members and guests are cordially invited to attend. This event attracts
top class golfers as the handicap cut-off is 9.4.
So, sharpen up your game, guys!
FEDEX CUP
Exciting times! Two rounds left and Jason Day and Matt Jones are in form. No
tournament this week but the BMW (17 – 20 September) and the Tour Championship
(24 – 27 September) promise great viewing. Time to get the younger members of the
family barracking for our Aussie champs and getting them keen on the game.
