Barry Thompson reports
Tung Nguyen carded 38 to win the Tournament, won the B grade longest drive and also took out the 7th hole $100 Eagles Nest! Presso Terry may have had trouble differentiating between 18 and 20, but he scored a credible 36 to record a second place.
A jet-lagged Ivan McMillan managed a 34, despite having been stripped of his 42 handicap. Dave Astill beat me 2 and 1 in Match Play and Jerry Reilly beat John Towns by the same margin.
Congratulations to both winners!
Mark Ryan took the Bradmans and I won the Helensburgh Driving Range voucher!
Gavin Sinclair presented his third card for handicap with a 37. I hope Handicapper Paul is kind to you. I think you’ll be seeing a lot of our valued sponsors, Helensburgh Butchery, Gallardo’s Pizzeria and Helensburgh Driving Range.
Tradie’s BBQ area is now even more ideal for events with the installation of automatic rain curtains – they saved us from a soaking.
Our next outing, a Stableford, is at Boomerang on Saturday, October 15th. Tee-off at 7am.

Robert ‘Indy’ Jones reports
The HSSGC tour ramped up with stableford events on August 28th and September 11th at the popular Hurstville GC.
In August, 1st place was Steve Burns (35), 2nd Rob ‘Indy the Eagle’ Jones (35) and 3rd Peter Gardner (34). On-course prizes shared six ways. Jose Hernandez defeated Peter Herbert 5 & 4 to reach the never-ending Match Play final.
On September 11th, The Burgh Bowl went to Indy (me), with 34, ahead of Mark Buckley (31, on a count back), and Mark O’Connor.
Jose Hernandez vs Robert Jones tied 6 & 6 after which Indy (me) secured an improbable win on the 1st extra hole to become HSSGC Match Play champion. Not forgetting, the O’Connors and Darren Arthur taking on-course winnings, last group perhaps ... no, just joking.
Our next scheduled events are on October 9th at Kareela and Campbelltown on November 20th.
Other news: the trip away has been booked for 2023, Mittagong, Bowral and Moss Vale. 2nd cards for Craig Warren and Greg Ford.
Call Tony on 0418 863 100 for club info. Please support our sponsors Christian’s Premium Meats and Helensburgh Golf Range.
Indy signing off: If you hit it right, it’s a slice. If you hit it left, it’s a hook. If I hit it straight, it’s a miracle leading to an Eagle.
