Firstly a big thank you to Laraine Cunningham, Karen Rahilly, Anne Stannard & Margaret Allnutt who have all donated to our Longest Day Challenge. We do have a goal to raise $1,000 and we have just over 3 weeks to reach our goal.

The longest day challenge will now be held on Friday the 6th of December where Andrew and Michael will be taking on the ultimate golfing challenge to complete four rounds of golf in one day. That’s 72 holes!

Junior Pennant Team
Suffers 1st loss

Hi Members,

This week we travelled out to Settlers Run and we started most of our matches in a really solid fashion.

Unfortunately, as the matches progressed, it became apparent that we were up against an experienced and very steady team and the fact that most of the matches had to give significant shots to Settlers began to tell.

Most of our team made the turn with significant ground to make up and it is to the teams credit that they all fought it out for greatly reduced margins.

This didn’t change the result, with only Toby managing to finish with a half.  So it was a loss for us, 0.5 – 5.5

The group can really hold their heads up high for the fight they all put up and the way they all played the game in exactly the right spirit.  I thank them all.

Whilst I am thanking people, as always, I thank all the caddies and supporters, I keep saying this, but I could not do this without all of you. Special thanks to Gerard and Billy Warrener, and John Turner for coming all the way to Settlers to support the team.

A week off for the team this week, and then the grand finish against Sandhurst on the 24th. Please support this great group, and I will finish again by asking my fellow members to buy a medallion for the 200 club, all proceeds go to our junior program and they are worth every cent you can pass their way

Cheers, Mick Oldham
