Nelson Bay Tour Report - Day 4 - Final Day

2nd hole at East Maitland - named after Billy Dunk

 The Nelson Bay tour is over for another year.

Friday, we played at Maitland G C, and the winner was Bob Thomas on a countback from David Ralph, 40 points each.

Greg Thompson a creditable third with 38 points.

Last by a margin wider than the harbour Heads Paul Buffey 18 points, with Lou Rostirolla on 22.

The Winner of the John Bullivant Memorial Trophy was David Ralph with 142 points at an average of 35.5

In second, the evergreen Chris Moffatt with 141 and in third Garry Fitch with 137.

The Bolter Award was won by Paul Buffey with 82 points or an average of 20.5 per round.

Second last and not for the lack of trying to come last Garry Buggy with an average of 25.5

My thanks to Paul Scholberg for the Nelson Bay Tour reports.

Golf - Friday 27th February 2026

 There was over 20 mls of rain today plus some overnight which will give the course a good soaking.

There was no Golf Competition today as the rain was constant. 

Nelson Bay Reports - Day 3

 On Thursday, the dribblers played at Nelson Bay, delivering a truly spectacular scorecard.

Four players at 40 points, Bobby Clark being the ultimate winner with Paul Smith and Dave Sillick second and third on a countback. Missing on a podium place was Chris Moffatt.

With only four players with scores in the twenties, the Bolter prize was hotly contested. The dubious honour went to Paul Buffey with Dean McCarthy the hero of Newcastle in second last. 

Today is Maitland where the winner of the John Bullivant trophy and the Bolter award for last will be decided.

On a side note, on Wednesday, the Dribblers divided into two groups. The more adventurous players took the ferry to Hawks Nest to compete at the picturesque golf course. It was a mixed result with most finding the going harder than expected. Tony Callaghan was the winner in the group. The other Dribblers went punting with little to show for.

My thanks to Paul Scholberg for this report.

Nelson Bay Tour Results - Day 1 Newcastle Golf Club

 Reporting some highlights from the Gentleman Dribblers Tour to Nelson Bay . We had a great day at the Newcastle Golf Club.

Dean McCarthy stole the show with a magnificent 44 points, setting the bar high for everyone. Not far behind , well only 9 points; David Ralph and Garry Fitch put up commendable performances, each scoring 35 points. It was truly a day of impressive golf all around.

We have an early contender for the Bolter Award for overall last place. Garry Buggy humorously held back his talents to come in with a score of 17.

The weather was quite the challenge, with hot and stcky conditions and mosquitos giving the fighter jets from Williamstown a run for their money. Despite that, everyone had a great time.

Looking ahead, our next battlefield is Horizons Golf Club.

F-Troop - Monday 16th February 2026

 We had about 10 mls of rain overnight and we were hopeful of a few rain free hours this morning. It was not to be as the heavy showers set in not long after we started which brought most of us to a standstill by 8.30 am. 

0n hand we had Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Ray Cheal, John Hincksman, Rob Benson, David Medcalf, John Hollebon, Frank Potter, Peter Martin, Laurelle Freeman, Carolyn Buttsworth, Lyn Bates, Leeanne Binns and Jan Martin.

All of the girls and John Hollebon gave up at 8.30 and the rest - Duncan Dyer,Kevin O’Brien, Trevor Harrison, Rob Benson, David Medcalf, Ray Cheal, John Hincksman , Frank Potter and Peter Martin called an early morning tea.

Projects that we did achieve today were some loose timber and rubbish pickup around the course; our first delivery of fire wood for the year; Hedge maintenance; weeding of gardens at the 3rd Men’s Tee; tidy up of gardens at the 13th tee; part weeding of the BBQ Garden; course maintenance at the 15th.

It was disappointing to hear that some of our plants at the 13th garden have disappeared mysteriously since last week. 

Our thanks to Ron Gowing for another donation of Crown of Thorn Plants for our front of Clubhouse Gardens and to Ray Cheal for a couple of nice succulent plants.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

We were hoping for only light showers when we worked today - however we sustained constant heavy showers which were not comfortable to work in.

On hand we had Sam Knox, Duncan Dyer, Trevor Harrison, Kevin O’Brien, Rob Benson, Don Nicholls, Peter Martin, Frank Potter, John Hollebon, Lyn Bates, Laurelle Freeman and Jan Martin.

Projects worked on today were loose timber and rubbish pick up around the course; Hedge maintenance; mowing and tidying the wood yard; planting in new succulent plants at the Practice Nets garden; part tidy up of the BBQ garden; watering the plants that are under cover at the BBQ garden; weeding and tidying up the Ladies Garden at the 2nd tee which we could under the protection of the big pine tree.

Eventually it got too wet to continue so we elected for an early morning tea. We enjoyed fresh sandwiches at morning tea - much appreciated.

The course will benefit from some nice slow rain.

F-Troop - Monday 26th January 2026 - Australia Day

 

We had a very productive day even though it was a Public Holiday. 

We had 7 volunteers and we achieved some good work.

On hand we had Sam Knox, Kevin O’Brien, Peter Martin, Laurelle Freeman, Caroline Buttsworth, Lyn Bates and Jan Martin. 

Projects worked on today were dumping of rubbish from the Ute from last week; picking up the garden bins from the practice nets and taking that rubbish to the dump; trimming back of agave plants that were over growing the path in the practice nets garden; trimming of the camellias bushes at the practice nets garden; raking paths and removing rubbish from the practice nets garden; weeding and trimming plants at the Practice Nets Garden; weeding of the garden at the chipping green garden; weeding and trimming of gardens at the 13th tee; watering and tidy up of gardens at the 3 rd and 5th gardens. 

The Agave plants were advertised for free pick up on Facebook and we hope that we can re-home them without cost of removal from the club. 

The course was busy with competition and social players today so we worked well out of their way.

Being a Public Holiday we had no fresh sandwiches for morning tea but survived with a supply of ANZAC biscuits which was appropriate for Australia Day.

YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The Late Sue Scobie

 It is with great sadness that I tell you of the passing of Sue Scobie yesterday, 19th January 2026 after a huge health battle. Our deepest sympathy to Michael and family over their loss of a lovely lady and much loved and respected Golf Member. 

Rest in Peace Sue.

The funeral notice will be in this Saturdays SMH. 

F-Troop - Monday 19th January 2026

 Heavy rainfall yesterday and continuing showers and rain today prevented us from taking heavy machinery or carts out on the course today.

There were branches down around the course that came down in yesterday’s deluge.

We had 5 volunteers this morning and we did what ever we could in the conditions.

On hand we had Sam Knox, Duncan Dyer, Kevin O’Brien, Ray Cheal and Jan Martin,

The boys were allowed to take the Ute out on the course to pickup fallen branches which they did until the heavy rain set in.

I busied myself in the front of clubhouse gardens weeding in between showers.

No photos today as it was a bit glum in the wet weather and morning tea did not happen. 

BUT: YES! WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Golf - Monday 19th January 2026

 No carts were allowed on the course today and there were insufficient players for a competition due to the recent wet weather.
