December 2022 Newsletter
President Report:
Our last tournament for the 2022 season at Waterford Valley course saw the members play for the Bob Leverington trophy.
With several late withdrawals, 45 members faced the challenge that the course produced due to the weather conditions over the past weeks. The members thanked the Club for their hospitality for the day.
The members were reminded that the Golfer Digest book for 2023 is to be ordered by Friday, 9th December, at a cost of $16.50. Those requiring a book are to contact Daryl Edwards.
It was great to see Gary Finnis in the field today as he took a break from Tweed Heads.
To those who have assisted throughout the year as a Starter for tournaments, we say thank you for volunteering, especially todays Phil Horsburgh, Ian Richards and Peter Garbellini.
If anyone has the House of Golf trophy please let me know.
Members were reminded that the 2022 Presentation Luncheon is a Keysborough Golf Club next Monday the 12th of December commencing 12noon. The cost is $40 per member, partner and guest with a complimentary drink. We ask members to wear their name tags as visitors will be provided with a name tag.
During the course of the afternoon the Vets Club Presentations will be conducted.

Operational options
Five surgeons from big cities come togther for a major operation. Having changed afterwards they discuss which profession provides the easiest patients on whom to operate.
The first surgeon, from Sydney, says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered."
The second, from Brisbane, responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside them is color coded."
The third surgeon, from Melbourne , says, "No, I really think librarians are the best, everything inside them is in alphabetical order."
The fourth surgeon, from Perth chimes in: "You know, I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."
But the fifth surgeon, from Canberra shut them all up when he observed:
"You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on.
There's no guts, no heart, no brains, and no spine.
Plus, the head contents and the gluteous maximus are interchangeable."
