Men’s Pennants Results - Sunday 25th April 2021

Congratulations to all of our Pennant players this year - well done!

Toukley Golf Club hosted our last Pennants match of the year today and it was a great result for Gosford.

 

Our B grade won their match 2/1 and have therefore won the Pennant for 2021 even though there are a few matches to play. Well done to Bill Ballard (C), Luke Eustace, Brett Little, Martin Gallagher, Glen Cheetham, Bill Ballard, Tim Verduci, Joe Woodhead and Allan Keith. All eight players contributed over the year and supported each other to a great win.

 

Special mention to Martin Gallagher and Glen Cheetham who came down the last all square. Martin chipped from the rough 70 meters out and put the ball to a foot and Glen then followed by hitting a long bunker shot to 3 feet. Both putts were conceded for a well deserved win 1 up.

 

A grade also had a great result squaring their match 3 ½ to 3 ½ . Good wins to Mark Hiley, Matt Buckley and our new boy Trent Scott. Conor O’Callaghan also had his first game for Gosford but went down. A grade will hopefully finish in the top 4.

 

C grade won their match on a forfeit and weren’t required to play today. C grade should also finish in the top 4

 

I want to thank all players for their support this year. All grades have done very well. Our boys played every match in a good spirit and with great sportsmanship.

 

I also want to thank the club especially Graham, Kieran and Paul. We were well supported with uniforms, balls and advice throughout the year.

 

I look forward to next year

 

Thanks

Bob Thomas 

The last round for this years competition was played at Toukley versus Kooindah Waters.

I would like to thank all players who have represented their club with distinction. Special thanks to Bob Thomas for a sterling job in managing the teams.

A grade drew 3 1/2 to 3 1/2

B Grade won 2 to 1

C Grade won 3 nil on forfeit.

Congratulations to the B grade team on winning the pennant. All matches went to the 18th and a very tight match.

Appeal for large used men’s golf shoes

 Recently the golf shoes on the garden at the 2nd green have been removed by persons unknown. 

I intend to replace the golf shoes with new refreshed ones. 

I will need about 8 large men’s golf shoes - preferably leather or something solid enough to withstand the elements.

I will paint them, put a cover of marine paint on the top to make them more weatherproof. The succulents can be culled from our existing gardens,

If you can help out with some old golf shoes you wish to discard please leave them at the Pro Shop.

Thanking you in advance.

F- Troop - Monday 5th April 2021

 

F- Troop Morning Tea - Di Beechey, Jan Martin, Duncan Dyer, Les Wielinga, Kevin O’Brien, Trevor Harrison, Rob Benson, Chris Foster, John Hollebon, Peter Martin, Don Nicholls.

A great job done by the F-Troopers today

Back of the Clubhouse cleaned up including the drain 

We had a great number of volunteers today especially on a Public Holiday. This was very helpful and allowed us to tackle the back of the clubhouse which had got very overgrown and messy.

On hand we had Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Les Wielinga, Rob Benson, Chris Foster, John Hollebon, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Di Beechey and Jan Martin.

We welcomed back Chris Foster who comes in when ever he has time and he put in some hard yards today on stick and rubbish pick up. 

Projects worked on today were Rubbish and loose timber pick up around the course, clean up at the back of the clubhouse including clearing of the drain, clean up at the 18th tee and Camellia Way, hedge maintenance, cleaning of the bush toilets, tidy up of the 14th Greenspace Garden, tidy up of the 6th Tranquility Garden, clean up at the back of the 6th native garden, start made on weeding the 15th tee garden.

We enjoyed our morning tea after a hard morning’s work and our thanks to Angelique Scholberg for her contributions to our morning tea which was appreciated.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Duncan Dyer and Rosalie Dyer 

Our playing partners today at the 1st Tee

We had a lovely day on the golf course today with our playing partners Duncan and Rosalie Dyer. The boys beat the girls for the Keno ticket but we gave them a run for their money. It was my first day back at golf for two months after recovering from a carpel tunnel wrist operation. I was a bit rusty as could be expected but getting a 3 pointer on the 1st hole will bring me back next week.

The Golf Event of the day was a Single Stableford for Men and Ladies + 2BBB Team.

We had 64 starters with 2 visitors from Bexley.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: most of the highlights included playing golf in beautiful weather (especially for Easter weekend) our Ladies Winner Sandra Coyle enjoyed her 36 points playing steady golf; my highlight was getting a 3 pointer on the 1st hole and finishing with the same ball I started with. Nobody else had any highlights for me. The course still has some muddy wet patches after all the rain we have had and the greens are still recovering from recent maintenance so it was a bit of a challenge out there.
