Our 2023 season opened with a bang on January 21 with 21 starters and ideal conditions. We welcomed two new members, Kynan and Shane and were delighted to see our old mate Al Wagner who joined us while on a holiday visit.
Mick Carroll won the Stableford event with 41 points. Second went to Paul Morahan on count-back to John Towns and Garry Overton, all with 35 points. The judges dismissed Garry’s plaintive cry of “I woz robbed!” and the placings were said to stand.
The winners will be off to Helensburgh
Butchery and Gallardo’s Pizzeria to claim their prizes.
Lucky Rodger Hendry won the Helensburgh Driving Range voucher. Nobody begrudged the win as we are all aware of Rodger’s urgent need for practice.
As well as winning a few balls, Iain Birss took out the $45 Eagles Nest on the seventh, that makes it a profitable round Iain.
Our February away game to Jamberoo was booked out early with 25 starters. Mick will be organising more tours during the year. Keep your eyes open as these events fill quickly.
The visit by President Terry and Rod Vaughn to the Northern Illawarra Neighbour Aid office to present our donation from the charity day was well received. Their manager, Sharon Gissane, asked that we thank the members for their contribution.
Our next outing will be on February 18th at Boomerang. Tee off is at 7am, please arrive early to assist our starters.
