It had rained heavily the day before, however, Sunday started with blue skies which turned to humidity and some slight showers passed over the field for about ten minutes just to cool everything down.

The event commenced with a ‘pep talk’ from our patron, Charlie Earp, and at 12 noon the 42 players hit off.

Prior to the presentation of the prizes, Ken Dixon, grandson of Clarrie Dixon who was the founding member of the Hole In One Club 75 years ago, spoke about his grandfather and his achievements, not only in golf where he achieved three hole in ones but tennis, bowls, cricket and other sports. Obviously a talented sportsman and it is to this man that we thank for his foresight in starting the Hole In One Club of Queensland.

The prizes were presented by the president, Ross McCloud – Three divisions for women and three divisions for the men.

Winners were:

Ladies Division 1 – Winner Diana Wilson and runner up Frances Nobel.

Ladies Division 2 – Winner Marian Nolan and runner up Carol Power.

Ladies Division 3 – Winner Kate Muir and runner up Margaret Earp.

Men Division 1 – Winner Ken McLean ocb and runner up Ken Dixon.

Men Division 2 – Winner Ray Kearney and runner up Des Mullan.

Men Division 3 – Winner Robert Handcock and running up Rony Richardson.

Congratulations to Malcolm Smith who had an eagle on the 4th.

We have to thank our wonderful donors – Royal Pines Hope Island, Pacific Harbour, Sanctuary Cove, McLeod Golf Club, Nudgee Golf Club, Ken Dixon and Matt Dowling from Acushnet Golf. We are indebted to these people for their interest in golf and their awareness of the great achievement ‘aceing’ in golf is.

Thanks to the committee and the complimentary thank yous from the participants. It was a challenge and I am glad everyone had a great time. The McLeod Golf Course looked spectacular – Thank you McLeod!!

The weekend started off with a beautiful day at Laidley GC – 17 players and new member Vanessa Lawrence and husband Dave in attendance. We played a 2Ball Ambrose with a ‘twist’, which everyone seemed to enjoy. The game was won by Geoff Lewis and Malcolm Smith, who were playing off a combined handicap of 3. Congratulations to them!!

The dinner at City Golf Entertainment venue was enjoyable but very noisy; unable to converse easily. Some of the group did well on the Keno!!

The City Golf Game was a 4BBB with your own choice of partner with 20 players. The weather was kind to us once again. The Toowoomba boys, John Green & Geoff Lewis, with their ‘local’ knowledge won the day with 41 pts.

A special thank you to all who attended. Thank you also to Gayle Szylejko, Liz Barnes and Sharon Woods (non players) for coming along and supporting the players. It was great to get to know you a little better and have a few laughs. Next year we are going to Bribie Island – start organising your calendar!!
