AGM of Gosford Golf Club - Tuesday 20th September 2022

 


Board of Directors including Greg Harrison who is retiring this year.

Greg chaired the meeting tonight as acting President




Our new incoming Directors




New proposed plan that is being considered by the Board.

After due consideration by the Board including financial planning
The end result will be put to the Members for their comments and approval.


After the new Board was presented there was some lively discussions with 90 members attending the meeting.

The main item on the agenda was the proposed change to the constitution regarding the suspension of members from the club. The proposed changes are to allow accused Members the right of reply before the Members suspension is put in place.

The change in the constitution will be done over the next three months allowing for time for the legal procedure to take place to ensure the change is done correctly according to law. 

After the close of the Meeting discussions were held regarding the proposed update of the course and how the Directors were planning to fund the change. Michael Crookes gave the Members a good presentation of the proposed changes which (after discussions with the developers) will be put to the Members for approval. The proposed changes in the course are detailed in the photo above. The other changes (ie the clubhouse) will be discussed at a later date when things become clearer about where the club is headed.

It was very pleasing to see 90 concerned Members attending the Club tonight to show their interest about where the club was heading.

Sadly for our boys today the matches were called off when the opposition got 4 1/2 wins - so we lost.

Congratulations to all of our players who represented our club this year and did us proud winning our District event.


My thanks to Bob Thomas for the report and photos from today

Today we travelled to Castle Hill Country Club to play Monash in the second round of the Regional Finals. What a great course and fantastic weather. The course was in top condition and I understand it hasn’t received as much rain as many other courses in the area. If you ever get the chance to play there don’t miss the opportunity.

 

Our boys played strong and were in the contest for much of the day. Monash lifted their game to new heights on the back nine and once they got to 4 ½ wins the match was called.

 

Well done to the boys for a great year and thanks for your support. Special thanks to Paul Edwards and George Lee who stepped up when we needed them. Also Martin Gallagher and his committee who can be extremely proud of this event.

 

I look forward to next year and hope to get a few games myself.

Golf - Sunday 18th September 2022

 We were lucky enough to have a rain free day with plenty of sunshine to enjoy. The wind did come up a bit in the afternoon but we would view that as a positive to dry out the course.

Our playing partners today were Michael Cheetham and Karen Askins who were great company - Michael was our champion scoring some nice pars and close birdies. 

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

RESULTS:

MENS SINGLE STABLEFORD RESULTS:

We had 30 starters with 1 visitor from Merewether.

WINNER: Marcus Hams - 38 points

NEAREST THE PINS:

12TH HOLE: Dennis Cox - 370 cms

WINNER: Liz Robinson - 36 points

BALLS WENT TO: 34 points

WOMENS SR: 73

2BBB TEAM RESULTS:

WINNERS: Leonie Kelly and Marianne Lanham - 44 points on a countback

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY as reported to me: I had no reports today but I know that Leonie Kelly and Marianne Lanham played well to win the 2BBB Team, Michael Cheetham played well with some great pars, my highlights were finishing with the same ball I started with, not having any air swings after an extended six months or so off of playing golf, so overall after having some very shabby putting I played to my expectations - so from here it is onwards and upwards. I must say it was good to have some run on the course - so I have higher expectations for next week. (please no more rain)
