A very windy day greeted members (what else is new). There were two very good scores in the conditions with Rusty Butler declared the winner with 40 points. The other winner was Kay Baker also with 40 points.

The DRUMMOND GOLF NTP shots were won by Ian Fisher and Bev Hooper. DRUMMOND GOLF have donated our NTP Prizes all year and their generous sponsorship is greatly appreciated.

Rundown balls were allocated to – Billy Connor, Pat Mildren, Graham Mullins, Jon Marshall, Jim Baker and Terry Kingston.

As this was our last Round for 2015 the Winners of Major Prizes were determined.

The Champion golfers for 2015 were:

Ladies – KAY BAKER – HER 4 BEST SCORES WERE 34, 43, 40, 40 A TOTAL OF 159 POINTS. To score 40 points in your 4 best is a good effort and Kay’s remarkable effort of 3 scores in the 40’s made for very tough competition.

Men – BILLY CONNOR – HIS 4 BEST SCORES WERE 41, 37, 36, 35 A TOTAL OF 149 POINTS. Billy was consistent with his scoring all season.

Both Kay and Billy will have their achievements acknowledged on the HIO (Inc) Perpetual Trophy and look after the trophy for 6 Months each.

Runners Up were Bev Hooper in the Ladies and Richard Kelly who was tied with Billy coming into the last round but could not improve his score because he is swanning around Europe! Kay, Bev, Billy and Richard all receive a Shirt from our very generous Sponsor NORSTATE AGENCIES. Lauren from NORSTATE AGENCIES HAS BEEN A VERY GENEROUS SPONSOR OF OUR BREAK UP DAYS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. Lauren has no special interest in Golf which makes her very generous donation each year even more remarkable. Her email address is sales.

Other shirts were given to our regulars who played all rounds or missed only one.
They were –
Bev Hooper Gail Mullins, Graham Mullins, and Don Johnston who played all eight rounds
Billy Connor, Richard Kelly, Jon Marshall, Greg Moffat who missed only 1 round this season

AGM
I was elected convenor for the next season and Gail Mullins has accepted the role as Treasurer once again.

In general business it was decided to send flowers to Lauren Gross from NORSTATE AGENCIES in acknowledgement of her generous sponsorship.

Next year we will continue to play Single Stablefords once a Month on Sundays at Townsville Golf Club. When the dates are decided I will forward details.

Finally, if you hear of anyone who has a Hole In One please let me know the details and I will make contact.

Hoping everyone has a safe Christmas and New Year.
