Golfers tee up end of year celebrations
Some of the final events have been played and presentation night is coming
Helensburgh Sunday Social Golf Club
By Robert ‘Indy’ Jones
Sunday October 5th. Top spot went to Blake with a sizzling 46 (say “hi” to the handicapper), followed by Frank Morgan (38) and Bruce (36). Out there avoiding the hazards and collecting the NTPs, D&Ps and long drives were Frank Morgan, Bruce, Andrew Hodge, Peter Gardner, yours truly (Indy) and Mark O’C with Daniel going from rooster to feather duster from one game to the next to score the chips.
Next events for 2025: November 2nd (8.30am Tee Off) and December 7th (9am Tee Off), followed by our end-of-year celebrations.
Call Tony (0418 863 100) for membership details and remember to register your attendance and cart requirements on the Tuesday ahead of the date of our next event.
Indy signing off: To be imitated is a form of flattery, high praise and admiration of what you do so much that they want to be like you… So, why are some golfers akin to Bondi lifesavers? Because they spend so much time in the sand!
Tradies Social Golf
By Barry Thompson
A well-prepared Boomerang course resulted in some good Stableford points being scored. Gary Overton was king of the castle with 47, followed by Presso Terry (43) and Keynan Overton (39)
Gary and Terry will be greeted by Cameron, the new owner of Helensburgh Butchery. We thank Jason for his support over the years and wish him well in his new endeavours. Keynan will be enjoying Gallardo’s Pizzeria products, and Dave Tipping will be whacking the Bucket of Balls out at Helensburgh Driving Range.
Keynan and Hayden fought the final of the Match-Play Championship to a tied finish. They agreed on a coin toss, which was won by Hayden. Congratulations to them both.
An investigation has found that there was no truth in the rumour that Geoff deliberately lost his hearing-aid on course as a defence against Terry’s banter.
A member, strongly associated with the Melbourne Cup, broke a vow of some months back to never play again. Welcome home, Sparrow. Good to see Gerry Riley take to the course again.
As reigning champions, we downtowners will straggle out of struggle town on November 15th to defend the Uptown Downtown Shield. We will Tee Off at 7am at Boomerang. Please arrive early, and I ask our team to watch for any conniving northern tricks.
Don’t forget to book for our Presentation night on Saturday, 29th November. See you then.
