Our August Vets tournament at the Rosebud Country Club for the Alf Jones trophy saw a field of 56 members enjoy the day out at a well prepared course with winter sun completing the conditions.
Thanks to our starters Phil Horsburgh, Peter Garbellini, Peter Ross and Captain Jeff organising members to their appropriate tees and arranging for our halfway sandwich pickup. We had one invited guest with us today, Spiro Sparsi, who has decided to join our Vets Club.
Covid certainly played a part again in today's tournament as the club could only offer a two tee start and were unable to facilitate our presentation time.
Please note all todays results, as usual, can be seen from the link in the member's index page. Prize winners can be seen further down in this newsletter. Trophies will be presented at our next event which will be at Eagel rRdge on Monday, 16th of August for the Winter Classic 4 Man Ambrose. We can cater for 40 players who will be treated to carts for the round within the course fee.
Please note our September 6th tournament will be at Rossdale Golf course for the Bernie Coyle trophy - please place your nominations online.
DIARY notation - Our Vets Presentation lunch is proposed for Monday the 13th of December at the Rossdale Golf Club,.
As we were unable to hold this function last year we have many new members who will not be aware of the format for the day. It is casual dress lunch for members and partners. Reports of previosu events are avialble on the web under the "Social" link in the index. There will be more information to follow including costs and booking arrangments as we get closer to the date
Stay safe as we transition our way through Covid regulations.
Captain Jeff Stevens welcomed members to ' Golf Club' for the event.
Sadly, due to the imposition of Corona Virus lockdown, we were unable to play this month
Congratulations and best wishes to our members whose birthday falls in August.

What if you were playing in the Club Championship final and the match was halved at the end of 17 holes. You had the honour and hit your ball a modest two hundred and fifty metres to the middle of the fairway, leaving a simple six iron to the pin.
Your opponent hits his ball lofting it deep into the rough to the left of the fairway. Being the golfing gentleman that you are, you help your opponent look for his ball. Just before the permitted three minute search period ends, your opponent says: "Go ahead and hit your second shot and if I don't find mine in time, I'll concede the match."
You hit your ball, landing it on the green, stopping about three metres from the pin.
About the time your ball comes to rest, you hear your opponent exclaim from deep in the rough: "I found it!”
The second sound you hear is a click, the sound of a club striking a ball and the ball comes sailing out of the woods, lands on the green, stopping no more than fifteen centimetres from the hole.
Now the real "what if" in this story......
What if you had your opponent's ball in your pocket?
