April 2024 Newsletter

President's Report:

Our April game was at Churchill Park and despite a forecast of rain we played in clear conditions. The course had been recently cored and that made putting difficult as reflected in the scores.

We had a smaller field of 41 players with Barry Hammond playing as a guest of Peter Garbellini and he was presented with a complimentary ball. We played for the Donald MacDonald Memorial Trophy that celebrates the contribution to the club of our former president and life member. He was a larger than life figure and is sadly missed by all.

On the sick list is our treasurer Peter Ross who was injured playing golf and is currently in Hospital recovering from a hip injury. GET WELL SOON!

Hope to see you all at Patterson River.

Thanks Allan on behalf of committee.

The purrrr-fect shot

Vic stood over his tee shot on the 450 yard 18th hole for what seemed an Eternity. He waggled his hips, looked up, looked down, waggled again, but still didn't start his back swing.

Finally his exasperated partner asked, "What the hell is taking you so long? Take your bloody shot”

"My wife is watching me from the clubhouse balcony", Vic explained. "I want to make a perfect shot."

His companion said "Oh for Gods sake take your bloody shot. You don't have a chance in hell of hitting her from here."
