This Thursday, we hold the Ladies' Christmas Luncheon, beginning at 11:30am. 

On Saturday after the well attended AGM, a large number stayed to compete with the men in the traditional Tiger Stableford, with the results in the men's notes.  Congratulations to runners up Joan Wright and Coralie Volgyesi, and to placegetters Helen Ricciardi & Vicki McAulay.

Joan Wright won the ladies approach.

Next week, the final day of the official golfing season, the Captains determine the competition, depending on numbers and the Captain's reflections.   Remember during the off season, members are invited to play in the BBB competitions every Saturday with a 12:30pm hit off, every Tuesday at 12 noon and all Public Holidays (except Christmas Day) at 12:30pm.

Vets

Members played a fourball best ball stableford competition, the first in some time.  While the conditions were very favourable the scores did not reflect those conditions.

Norm Plath & Ken Albion with 44 points won on a countback from Mark McAulay and Ray Walker, second on a countback from Kev Denham and Terry Smallman. 

The men's approach on 1 & 10 was won by Dave Robinson, the combined approach on 4 & 13 by Kev Denham, and the ladies' approach on 6 & 15 was won by Cynthia Draper.

Clinton Dowling with 31 off the stick led the Chook Run winners with 29 nett from Norm Plath, Nigel Radin on 30, Kev Savage on 31 and Kev Denham on 32.

Next week VIP winners play off for the final of the VIP Player of the Year. The rest of us will also play a single stroke competition to end our official golfing year.
