Vets golf
Under overcast skies on December the 23rd. saw the last Vets golf competition for the year. With Christmas celebrations rapidly looming, the days event was not short on participants for the very interesting and challenging Bob and Marie Hewett’s Mulligan’s Trophy.
In this event each player is restricted to using only three clubs of their own choice which makes for some interesting tactical as well as careful playing.
The event was won by Denver Webb, President of the Gloucester Vets with a score of 30 points, followed in second place by Don Readford on 29 and Jim Dunn in third place on 28. Other point scorers were Bob Hewett on 27, followed by Di Pritchard and Derek Bardwell each on 23. The NTP prize went to Bob Hewett with the Stayers award going to Bill Norris.
Rounding off the days event was a very well presented lunch by Keith and Judy Caldwell ably assisted by a number of volunteers. The President, Denver Webb and the Vets Captain, Bill Murray both conveyed their thanks and appreciation to the Caldwell’s for their splendid preparation of the meal and to all the players present, their very best wishes for the Festive Season.
December 29, saw the final social event for 2008 being played out. The winner on this occasion was Terry Cox on 30 points., Derek Bardwell and Charlie Falkener coming into second place on 29.
Despite the unrelenting oppressive heat experienced on Tuesday January 6, it did not deter however the enthusiasm of 19 Veteran golfers from turning up for the single Stableford event.
Some very good scores were recorded leading to a number of players further reducing their individual handicap ratings. David Mann took out the event coming home on 33 points, plus the NTP prize resulting in a new handicap rating of 7. Well done David.
Second place winners were Derek Bardwell, Bruce Frazer and Don Readford all on 31 points., followed by Peter MacIntyre and David Hjorth on 30.
A warm welcome was extended by the Vets Captain, Bill Murray to our newest Vets member, Rob McNaughton formerly of Foster/Tuncurry.
