GOSFORD GOLF CLUB AGM - Tuesday 25th September 2018

Outgoing Board - David Nicholls (Course Superintendent), Graham Chee (Captain), Tim Davidson (Auditor), Greg Harrison (outgoing Treasurer), Paul Scholberg (President), David medcalf (Director),
Kieran Moran (Club Professional & new Club General Manager), John Harrison (Director), Tanya Green (Financial Controller & new Assistant general manager).

Greg Skilberg - Our New Club Director with President Paul Scholberg


We had barely a quorum tonight for the Annual General Meeting of OUR Golf Club due to apathy from a lot of our Members.  In fact we had to phone a friend and get some of our Members out of their pajamas to make up the numbers.

We can only deduce from that there are many VERY HAPPY Members of the Gosford Golf Club who are extremely happy with the way the Board has been running the Club.

The Outgoing Treasurer Greg Harrison gave us some very comforting financial results for the last year and also gave us a good run down on the financial position of the Club which has improved greatly in the last two years.  The budget for next year seems positive but there are a lot of unknown expenses looming with regard to the course conditions in case of severe drought conditions which have been forecast for this summer.

Our new Director elected in unopposed was Greg Skilbeck who was welcomed to the Board.

We are still without a Treasurer to replace Greg Harrison which is a concern as a professional accountant to fill this role will be very costly to the Club.

Keiran Moran has been appointed the new General manager of the Club in addition to his role as Club Professional.

Tanya Green - our Financial Controller has been also appointed as Assistant General Mananger.

Congratulations to our Club Directors who are working hard to make our Club the best on the coast.
We hope that 2018/2019 will be a great year for the club with the support of ALL of the Members.

We had a great day for golf today with no rain but a rather chilly breeze that became a chilling cold wind which was a bit unsettling at times.  Our playing partners today were Duncan & Rosalie Dyer and we had a great day on the village green (at least the girls thought so - winning the Keno Ticket at the 14th hole).  We did have some highlights - no birdies but the best highlight was my gobbler putt off the back of the green on the 2nd into the hole for a 3 pointer that shattered the boys.

F-Troop Morning Tea - Sam Knox, Ron Gowing, Garry Trigg, Trevor Harrison, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess, Kevin O'Brien, Rob Benson ( Peter Martin & Jan Martin)

The new Storm Shelter situated at the back of the 5th fairway. Now operational if you get caught out on the course in bad weather, electrical storms etc.

The Paintbrush Bulbs are flowering beautifully at the back of the 10th tee.

We were able to work through the light showers this morning so we carried on regardless with our projects.

On hand we had Rob Benson, Kevin O'Brien, Peter Martin, Garry Trigg, Sam Knox, Ron Gowing, Di Beechey, Anne Burgess and Jan Martin.

Projects worked on were loose timber and rubbish pick up around the course, clean up of the clubhouse area, paths around the 1st and 10th tees, practice nets and wedding garden, trimming of shrubs in the clubhouse gardens, planting of new shrubs and tidy up of the BBQ garden, preparation of timber, delivery of firewood, cleaning of the bush toilets, watering of gardens around the clubhouse and wedding garden, putting green, 14th greenspace gardens, watering pots at the 6th, bike garden & 9th ladies tee garden, tidying 6th tranquility garden, watering and cleanup of pot plant at the clubhouse door, weeding of the 13th tee garden, clean up of the Ladies 3rd Tee steps as well as doing a respectful burial of a very unlucky duck found deceased at the 7th fairway.

We just made it in for morning tea when the heavier showers came down. We were happy to enjoy our morning teas under the protective cover of the clubhouse roof.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
