Travelling to Kareela for the year-end event on December 4th was seen to be a much calmer affair, a warm embrace from the weather saw the “local” Peter Gardner score 36 stableford points, leaving Frank Zuccala (30) and Mark Buckley (29) to fight out for the minor places. On course, the shot of the day went to Frank Zuccala, whose ball landed probably only 30cm away to the flag on the “Eagles nest”, earning him 15 balls for his effort with “The Club” turning Grinch and holding on to 50% of prizes on eligible holes.
This brings to a close a very wet year in which members played despite the effects of the weather and COVID. We can now look forward to our scheduled events, split relatively evenly between Campbelltown and Hurstville across 2023 and 2024, starting on January 22nd at Campbelltown, followed by February 12th and March 5th at Hurstville.

The HSSGC tour of 2022 came to a close on December 4th at Kareela, an event which closely followed Campbelltown on November 20th.
With wind blowing balls across greens and balls off tees, members battled the weather and the fairways of Campbelltown on November 20th to witness Blake O’Connor score an amazing 41 stableford points, earning his place on the Norm and Brenda Bell Plate and blowing the rest of the field away, leaving Bruce Gersback (30) in 2nd place and Peter Gardner (29) in 3rd.
Surprisingly, with the wind sending balls in very different directions, on-course prizes were hotly contested with “The Club” only holding out on three of the 10 eligible holes.
