TRADIES SOCIAL GOLF
John Towns reports. A big month for our club this month, a charity day at Russell Vale, two rounds of golf and the AGM. Ken Sandridge won with a net stroke score of 63 on a count-back from Laurie Thompson and Dennis Edwards 64, collecting prizes from Helensburgh Butchers and Gallardo’s Pizza. Front and back nine went to Jack and Paul, with Phil and Rod taking out the longest drives. Karl was back to claim his Bradman spot. The Helensburgh Driving Range prize went to Dave. The AGM was held after the game at Tradies and all of the committee were returned unopposed. The charity day at Russell Vale was a great success with the club entering three teams. The season’s last game is the fun day on the 8th December from 7.30am with a special prize for the most outrageous outfit. Remember to arrive early to allow Mick time to prepare the various cards. Full results at Tradies Helensburgh Sports and Social Golf Club where I can be contacted for further information. 2508
HELENSBURGH SUNDAY SOCIAL GOLF CLUB
Troy Gersback reports. The greens were cored recently (large holes placed across the green surface then covered with sand), which provided some tricky putting outcomes for many. The word “bugger” was used a lot. (We all think that coring is just an evil plot by the green staff to get back at us – revenge for us digging up their course the rest of the year.) We played for the much sought-after Silverware: the Brenda & Norm Bell Plate. First place went to Scotty G on 41, followed closely by Robbie C on 40 and The Zeeman on 38. Well done, guys. Mickey Bowron picked up more than his fair share of minor prizes. Well done, champ. The Match Play major semi was quite an event with Debbie Ross managing to ‘hold it together’ and sneak home and make it into the Grand final by a single shot over Tony English. Congrats, Deb. Well, the annual trip away is upon us. We are all ready to tackle Worrigee and Nowra’s best pubs – I mean, golf courses. This very social club meets on the first Sunday of every month at the Royal Boomerang. Visitors are and their friends are always welcome. Just ask for Mark or Tony – arrive 7.30am for 8am tee-off. Overheard on the 19th hole: “My swing is so bad, I look like a caveman killing his lunch.” 2508
