Tradies Social Golf

Barry Thompson reports

Boomerang bounced back from the previous week’s deluge to provide a pleasant venue for our Par event. Early tee-off allowed the 19 players to beat the heat and it was a great day for golf.

I won with a +2 (one of my rare appearances on the podium), followed by Jammu Fagerstrom (+1) and Ivan McMillan (+1). Iain Birss rounded out the prize list – provided by Helensburgh Butchery, Gallardo’s Pizzeria and Helensburgh Driving Range – by taking the Bucket of Balls voucher.

Kynan presented his third card and now awaits the pleasure of Paul (Morahan the Merciless) for his handicap. Good luck, Kynan. With President Terry away annoying the residents of the south coast, Paul officiated at the presentation and thanks were extended to Mick Carroll for his work in organising the Jamberoo event. Thanks also to Jack Hardacker and John Towns for organising our BBQs.

Mick collected entries in the Match Play competition, and we can expect early emails advising us of our opposition.

Our next outing is at Boomerang on Saturday, 18th March. This is a Stableford event and we tee-off at 7am. Please arrive early to assist our starters. See you there!

Helensburgh Sunday Social Golf Club

Robert ‘Indy’ Jones reports

12 months ago we were looking for a boat rather than a cart and three months of struggling to see when or where we would play. So, it is with much pleasure we share the exploits of the HSSGC tour event on February 12th at Hurstville Golf Club.

Not looking at all out of form was Brett in 1st place with 39 points, followed by Mark O’Conner on 36 and Rob Carter on 35. On course, prizes were equally shared across the field with all of the nominated holes giving up their treasure. To cap off proceedings I note the consolation prize went to Mark Hardick, the score not to be revealed.

Next events are to be held at Hurstville, March 5th at 8am and April 2nd at 8am.

Updates to members via email and contact Tony on 0418 863 100 for membership information. Please continue to support our sponsors – Christian’s Premium Meats and Helensburgh Golf Range – and join us to enjoy a game of golf, the outdoors and good company.

Indy signing off. An interesting thing about golf is that no matter how badly you play, it’s always possible to get worse.

Pride Boards

On February 7, Surf Life Saving Australia launched the Pride Board – a term coined by lifesavers at Bellambi Surf Life Saving Club nearly two years ago. Now, more than 130 boards have been sent to surf clubs across the country and one to the UK. Full story on our website, titled ‘Bellambi Patrol Behind New Pride Boards’.

PUPPY NEEDS A HOME!

This is Noni, a five-month-old mastiff cross puppy in need of a forever home. She will be a big dog when she grows up, but she is a soft, gentle girl who is very laid-back. She is not very excitable and just needs a daily walk around the block – but a snuggle on the lounge is what she really enjoys! If you’d like a large gentle jellybean in your life, look no further than Noni!
