HOLE IN ONE CLUB SOCIAL WEEKEND AT BRIBIE Is.

29^TH & 30^TH OCTOBER, 2016

Under blue skies and a gentle wind and the threat of showers not in sight, 22 members and their guests played the resort course of Pacific Harbour tee-ing off from 11.52am. The game of 2Ball Ambrose (with two teams having to play a 3 person 2Ball Ambrose) is not as easy as one would think.  However, we survived and came into the Clubhouse still smiling.  The winners were – George Emerson, Diana Wilson and Malcolm Smith with a 65 2/3 result.

After a few drinks with lots of camaraderie and serious conversation we dispersed to meet at 7pm at the Woorim Surf Club for a meal.  New member Col McKay brought his wife Colleen and Vice President, Kev Keller’s wife Kerrie got on famously NOT speaking about golf.  There was lots of conversation, laughing and reminiscing about the day’s golf – it was great to see (speaking as the organiser)

Sunday’s game was at Bribie Island Golf Club; we had 28 players thanks to Col McKay bringing along two Bribie Is. Members – Kayleen Allard and Mick Croser to fill in the spaces. A big thank you to Kayleen & Mick for giving up their Sunday.   The 4BBB Stableford proved a test of resilience after the day/night before, with the winners being Sonja and Mick Pryor with 49 points.   Olivia Bell was presented with her trophy as the 2016 Lady Champion. The trophies were presented by our new President, Maureen Farlow who carried out her duties admirably.

I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend; I certainly did.  A BIG thank you to those  Members who participated, maybe next year at Kooralbyn,  we will have a bigger roll-up. I am hoping to have the Programme for 2017 out before Christmas so you can put the dates into your diary/iphone immediately. It is easy to remember – last Sunday February/April/June/August and the Social Weekend – last weekend in October.

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Christmas and New Year.
