Tradies Social Golf
Barry Thompson reports
Those poor glassy-eyed souls seen shuffling around town muttering about pars and birdies are not dangerous. They are merely some of our members in withdrawal after yet another wash-out.
It is rumoured that Terry and other members have applied to transfer to the Royal Nullarbor G.C.
The damage caused to the Boomerang course must be devastating to the management and ground staff. A few relatively fine days allows repair to a section, then the heavens open up again. Let’s hope our course can be returned to its pristine state soon.
Our next outing is on June 18 at Boomerang with tee-off at 7am. It is listed as a Stableford but this could change as the committee scurries to fulfil our championship schedule.
We continue to get some much-needed practice at the Helensburgh Driving Range covered area.
No barbie at Tradies so I had to cook some of Jason’s sausages myself – not the same as when John Towns or Jack Hardacre do the honours.
Bit of a disappointing day, but a Gallardo’s pizza in front of the telly while watching the election coverage sounds appealing.
Hope to see you on June 18th!

As I cleaned the mould from the clubs on May 7th, I thought of dry fairways and waterless bunkers – was I dreaming?! With that thought, I took a cautious approach to the first hole at Campbelltown.
HSSGC was back in action on May 8th and some things never change. Jose claimed first place (with 37 points), ahead of Peter Gardner (34) and Luke Hatcher (33). Jose, Peter and Luke secured 50% of on-course prizes, joined by Blake and myself.
The never-ending HSSGC match play for 2021 continues in 2022 with Rob Jones surviving a late charge by Greg Herbert, 5 and 4. Greg now plays Jose to meet RJ in the final. A very positive response to the change to a new venue was voiced by all. To that end, Hurstville will be the next new venue on June 26th and then again on July 10th.
A special mention for Christian’s Premium Meats’ and Helensburgh Golf Range’s support of HSSGC, and any other local businesses who support the local community.

Indy signing off: the term “mulligan” is really a contraction of the phrase “maul-it-again”.
