September's Golf Reports

Tradies Social Golf

Barry Thompson reports

Good to see that Terry and Sparrow were able to play in this tournament, although I am sure they wished for better weather to step back into the fray.

Mick Carroll won the Stroke event with 65, followed by Jerry Reilly (66). Gary Overton (68) took third from Geoff Hammonds on countback. Jerry beat Mark Ryan in the only Matchplay game. Mark won the Bradmans and then joined Jack Hardacre to cook a very welcome barbeque.

There are still places available for the Golden Jacket weekend extravaganza of golf, playing some great Southern Highland courses from November 12-14. Call Mick Carroll (0414 734 353). Mick is also taking bookings for our Sunday away game at Jamberoo on October 23.

Thanks to Helensburgh Butchery, Gallardo’s Pizzeria, Tradies and Helensburgh Driving Range for their support. I’m sure this will continue for our next round on Saturday, September 17th at Boomerang. We tee-off for this Stableford event at 7am. Remember: carts are back in use, if needed.

Let us hope that our first Spring game brings warmer conditions!

Helensburgh Sunday Social Golf Club

Robert ‘Indy’ Jones reports

Members’ plaudits continued as HSSGC set about Hurstville GC on August 7th.

Frank Morgan triumphed in our Stableford event, with 39 points. Brett Carrazo followed up on 35, ahead of John Brunton whose handicap copped a hiding after his June 26th bionic antics to show his skills and come in 3rd on a count back.

On-course prizes were shared eight ways.

Our next scheduled event is at Hurstville on August 28th, when this issue goes to press.

We continue at Hurstville in September on Sunday 11th, tee off at 7:50am, and on October 9th at Kareela. Other news: Craig Seakins and Dave Morris completed 2nd cards. El President, now in recovery mode, continues to keep members up to date with emails. Call “Titanium” Tony on 0418 863 100 for membership details.

Please support our sponsors – Christian’s Premium Meats and Helensburgh Golf Range – and other local community businesses.

Back on course, join us and enjoy a game of golf. Indy signing off: For those of walking and not sharing a cart … “I’ve been playing golf for a long time and thought I knew all the terminology of the game, but what’s a rider?”

“A rider is when you hit the ball far enough to actually get in the golf cart and ride to it.”
