New Members Friday drinks

24/7/2017

 
Picture
As you are aware, last Friday we had a New Members, meet and greet over drinks and nibbles at the club. With the current spate of new members joining our great club, it is a very worthwhile exercise to give them the opportunity to introduce them to the Club, meet other members, staff and the Board. Many thanks to those existing members who did make the effort to attend, which made it a most enjoyable evening for the 60 odd who were there. Drinks were served from 5.00 pm until 6.30 pm with cheeses, dips and nibbles made available by Regina from the kitchen. Should you see any new players or visitors in our club, please make yourself known to them, with a warm welcome and a cheery smile. It costs nothing and leaves a very worthwhile lasting impression. Friday night drinks are becoming popular and if you would like some company, over a glass of wine or whatever, feel free to join us from approximately 5.30 pm any Friday.

Carving a "V" into the 14th Green for the Pro Pin

24/7/2017

A very bad habit to get into, is the carving of a "V" into the surface of the green to mark where the peg of the Pro Pin is, while you putt. The scrapping of the "V" effects to roots of the grass and takes sometime to recover during the colder months. We respectfully request that if it is necessary to move the marker while you putt, that it is replaced with a standard ball marker in lieu of scratching the surface of the green. On a brighter note, the 14th hole is recorded as the easiest hole on the course. Many players would challenge that from past experience, however none of the 65  players held the green from their tee shots last Saturday. Consequently the $174.00 that was in the Pro pin has jack-potted to next week and we should see a pool of up to $300.00 available for the winner. Good luck.

THE CAPTAIN'S TROPHY

24/7/2017

On Saturday in perfect winter weather, the field of 65 players competed for this years Captain's Trophy. The winner on the day was Peter Ingle off a handicap of 28 with a magnificent net 64. Runner up was David Stanley with a net 68 on a count back from John Jones and Roberto Ratalino.  As is now tradition, Peter returned to the club for presentation and received the Captains Trophy together with 6 crystal glasses to keep as a memento of the occasion. He mentioned during his acceptance rendition that he had been practicing recently after two lessons with Kevin Kenny and had left his driver in the boot of his car for the days event. Maybe a lessons for all of us. Peter is moving to Canberra shortly, however he will retain some interests in the Highlands and we will have to share him with Federal Golf Club for a while. Well done Peter.
