Nelson Bay Trip 2018
Twenty seven keen and mostly able golfers set out for their annual trip to the northern seaside village of Nelson Bay.
The first stop on Monday was Newcastle Golf Course, the golf was ordinary with the winner posting a credible 34 and the last placegetter a miserly 19 points. The course was in splendid condition and was enjoyed by most. On to the digs a Cote d’Azure in the heart of Nelson.
Winner Michael Callaghan 34
Tuesday the first meeting with golf resort Horizons. Golf did improve and with the marvellous weather a great day was had by all.
Winner Garry Fitch 39
Wednesday was the traditional lay-day with eight golfers setting sail for Hawks Nest golf course whilst the others looked after the financial interests of the touring party though a cunning betting syndicate. A healthy dividend was paid at the end of the day and all that participated smiled the winning grin.
Nearest to the pin winner Eddie Rogers $152.00 which he generously shared with his playing partners. The boat trip back was magic.

Thursday, day two at Horizons and again the weather gods where on the golfers side. Great golf, well I exaggerate a little but that is what golfers do.
Winner Tony Woods 34
Friday, Championship day. The lead group were the golfers with the least amount of points after 3 days and the last group the potential winners of the John Bullivant Trophy. Whilst the prize money is slightly less than the Majors the golf was just as intense.
The winner on the day was the “old” stalwart Duncan Dyer. But the winner for the overall honour of holding the Trophy aloft was Garry Fitch with in close second the evergreen Gary Sammons.

Whilst some had a less successful tour than others I am sure that there were no losers.
We all extend our best wishes to Greg Thompson who had an accident just before the tour and was unable to attend. We hope you recover quickly, all the best “Bluey”.
The whole group I am sure would like the thank Garry Buggy and Ross Bryant for their marvellous organisation of this annual event.
My thanks to Paul Scholberg for this report.
