Helensburgh Sunday Social Golf Club shares new high score

Helensburgh Sunday Social Golf Club

Robert ‘Indy’ Jones reports.

HSSGC roamed the fairways and greens of Campbelltown on March 3rd to witness the elegance and beauty of a man on top of his game.

With El Presidentè believing this effort to be a new highest score for the club, who was it you ask on the way to a massive 47 Stableford points, sinking five birdies and leaving all others behind? Mr Peter Gardner, with a HSSGC handicap of 14.

I am bemused that our star on the day did not claim one on-course prize, he generously (or otherwise) allowed seven lucky winners to seize upon the on-course goodies.

Meanwhile, Rob Carter and Luke Hatcher were 2nd and 3rd place-getters, on a more than reasonable 38 points, decided by count-back.

Next events: Campbelltown, April 7th, 6:28am; Campbelltown, May 5th, 7:38am; Campbelltown, June 2nd, 7:31am.

Contact Tony on 0418 863 100 for membership information and to register your attendance and cart requirements at our next event, registrations needed on the Tuesday ahead of the date.

Join us to enjoy a game of golf, the great outdoors and good company. Also, Blotto is waiting, so don’t miss out, get a number and win.

Did you know that golf is like fishing? Both unusually encourage exaggeration.

Tradies Social Golf

Barry Thompson reports.

I was unable to attend the last swing fest due to a lurgie handicapper and my informants appear to be on strike. Therefore, all information for this rather sparse report was provided by our handicapper, Mick Carroll.

As all golfers know, there is no such thing as a dishonest handicapper, so I report from his result sheet in full confidence.

The event, which was played under fair conditions, was a two-man Ambrose with pairings drawn from a hat. This method is itself fraught with danger as the hat can sometimes throw out some dodgy results. However, Mick got away with it and apparently there was no drama.

Mick and Gary combined well to take the crown with a nett 60, followed by Geoff Gavin on 61¾.
