Another Monthly Medal goes to Kazim two strokes clear from Craigie Sharp who must be crying in
his cornflakes .. Well done Kazim from all of us, even Craig :-). Its interesting to note that Kazim started with 33 handicap in Mar 2008 and he’s now more than halved it .. sorry about the 15 handicap n0w Kazim!

Pepsi won the money hole and yours truly the ball hole.

The Eagles Nest was finally won by Mehmet on the 17th hole and for that he got 15 balls! Nice to see the Eagles Nest build up for a nice prize .. long gone are the days when David Primrose used to have an eagle every other week.

Welcome to two new faces this week, Bill Eastoe (who must be alright he lives near me) and Grant Heavysege (A Canadian exile with two weeks residency in Oz). Bill shot 84 and Grant 80 so we’d better watch them closely!

Neil kindly organised the club jackets and caps and some were distributed today. For those of you yet to grab yours its $25 for jacket and $7.50 for the cap. Please pick up from Neil asap.

A really exciting finish to this years Fred Howe Winter Cup. Going into the final round it looked like Andrew Petricola was a dead cert with his 40 points in round 1. Alas the field caught up with him and Ken Grist, Craig Sharp and Bob McDonald were all well placed to win. It was Ken’s final round (the best of the day) that secured the countback and his victory. The Dark Horse strikes again!! Well done Ken Grist our Winter Cup champion and commiserations to the bridesmaids who at least have their championship points as consolation.

A special thanks to our catering officer, Oliver Gross, who did a spectacular job orchestrating the best bbq we’ve ever had with exotic meats, continental breads and fancy condiments. Thanks Oliver! You’ve got the job!

The leader in the club house is Andrew Petricola with an excellent 40 points, 3 clear of Bob McDonald on 37 and 4 clear of Jan Sieman and Craig Sharp.

Don’t forget the gourmet sausage sizzle at the BBQ after the final round ..

Good luck to everyone in the final round.

A really wild,woolly and cold day that has set the scene for the start of the Fred Howe Winter Cup next week. Leading the charge into the cup is today’s winner and grinner Damien Lee with an excellent 76 and the only player to play to his handicap on the difficult conditions.

The Fred Howe Winter Cup

The Fred Howe Winter Cup is dedicated to one of our true founding members who unfortunately can no longer play but is still with us in spirit and hopefully will be able to present the trophy to the winner on 25th July at the barbecue.

Fred was President for many years and I found one of his Xmas speeches which is interesting reading. (If you want to save the speech right click on the images and Save Image).
