Barry Thompson reports

I didn’t play this month, but I’m told that the conditions were perfect, with quite a few of the group making a big splash around the seventh. It was a two-person Ambrose event with the 10 teams being led home by Gerry Reilly and Iain Birss with a handy 62.5. The dynamic duo of Tung Nguyen and Geoff Hammonds scored a 63 for second place, and Mick Carroll and Kynan Ainsley took the bronze with a 66.

The winners will gather their spoils from Helensburgh Butchery and Gallardo’s Pizzeria, while Rod Vaughn will be attending the Helensburgh Driving Range to see if he can improve his game. Ignore the mutterings of
“It’s too late”, Rod.

Our next outing is at Boomerang on Saturday April 15th and we tee-off at 7am. This will be a Stableford event. Please arrive early to assist our starters.

Stop Press! Who was the committee man who arrived at the course bright-eyed and bushy-tailed only to remember that he hadn’t picked up another of our group as pre-arranged. A quick dash back to the ’Burgh fixed the problem. Let’s put the oversight down to the pressure of Presidential office.


Helensburgh Sunday Social Golf Club

Robert ‘Indy’ Jones reports

On March 5th 2023 we welcomed new players –Ben and Josh Gersback and Josh Smith – looking to shake up the order and give some of the older members new conversations out on-course.

On the day, the O’Connors (Blake and Mark) led the way with the young gun giving the old boy a lesson on 39 points, leaving Mark and Brett Carrazo, scoring 32 points, to be split on a count-back to secure the major prizes.

On-course Frank, a gaggle of Gersbacks, the O’Connors, Rossco, Jose, Peter and Mark B. gathered the prizes. The chips were resurrected and we hope Rossco enjoyed the snack on the way home.

The tour continues at Hurstville on April 2nd at 8am followed by May 7th at Hurstville and June 11th at Campbelltown.

Updates to members via text and email, 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.
