Hi Veteran Golfers. Time for a quick update on HVGC.
We now have 107 members, which I think is a testament to our current format and the friendliness of the clubs members. I would like to thank you all for helping make HVGC a success.
I would also like to thank everyone for picking up their club shirts, almost all shirts have now found a home. However, we have one mens shirt left over and we are missing one ladies shirt. This would indicate that one man has been given a ladies shirt. While it may enhance your figure, please check your shirt, if it has three buttons then it is a man’s shirt. If you have the wrong one please bring it back, I won’t make any comments, honest.
Next Tuesday is stroke play followed by a noon BBQ. We have had to change the BBQ format and unfortunately the committee has been forced to make a $2 donation compulsory for all members attending. I hope all members are ok with this charge. Also, as we had a number of non members line up for a free feed at our last BBQ, the committee has decided that all members must wear their club shirt to attend the BBQ. For those members who do not yet have a shirt, please see me at the BBQ.
I would like to bring to your attention a couple of Veterans events you may be interested in. The Port Stephens Vets week of golf (WOG) is being held in October this year. If you have never been to a vets WOG this would be a great event to get you started. Played at four courses in Port Stephens, it is a very friendly, enjoyable and cheap way to have a great week of golf and make new friends. The second event is the NSWVGA Veterans matchplay championships, held at four Newcastle courses in November. This is a graded event and no one is knocked out, you get games all four days. It is very well run and has some great prizes. Details of these and other vets events can be found on the HVGC website.
Finally, for those wanting the current NSWVGA events program book, I have left some signed ones in the cupboard under the computer in the clubhouse.
That’s it from me, see you at the course.
Cheers,
Ian.
