Rumble, Tumbles an Eagle in on the 17th.
Last Saturday, they came in pairs for the Yass & District Printers 4BBB, which is the best stableford score of the pair. Gary & George took the loot, from Ted and Tim. Seems they are well paired names. Tim Rumble and Adrian Waters must have been thinking they might make a run for the loot, when Tim fired a 6 iron at the 17th green to land it in the hole for an eagle 2, 5 points. Tim takes out the eagle’s nest which must have accumulated to dozen or more balls. Congratulation Tim, mighty effort. Results: Saturday 14th January, Yass & District Printers, 4BBB Stableford.

Sam & Kay Backup in Mixed Foursomes Club Champions.
Sam has definitely given us a year of outstanding achievements in golf, he has managed to get his name on almost, every board possible, and also doubling up with Kay on last year’s championship. Well done Sam Porter and Kay Moebus, who came in even with Billy Mackay and Ginny Hewlett on 87-18- 69. Thus forcing a playoff, which continued until the 3rdhole, where Sam got the put in the hole and the “Paul Turner Nursery Mixed Foursome Club Championship”. Thanks to all that competed, it was a fun day. New Face in Guzzler: Angus Winterflood turned up with Dad, Andrew, visiting from Sydney town, payed his subs for a country member, and the rest is history. There were some in form players competing for the crown with 61’s looking a good score, Scotty Medway 61-14-75, taking the A prize, Timmy Rumble 62-19-81 taking out B Grade, and C Grade going to Angus Winterflood, grabbing the “On Trend Clothing Guzzlers Mug” with an excellent 60-22-82. Gross went to Sam Porter with a par 68 off the sticks. Richard Julian also had a good round with a 61-32-93. I suspect there will be a few new handicaps for these players next week.` Saturday 3rd December.

Guzzlers Mug this Saturday.
Reading through the results, you’ll see that there has been some great scores in the mid 40’s, so we’d assume we have some in form players running around the course, so why not join them for the challenge of the first stroke event for the year. Saturday is looking good, weather wise, and a new mug up for grabs in the On Trend Clothing Guzzlers Mug. So give Kirk a ring and get your names down, it’d be great to see a big field out there. Presentations will be held around 5pm for the January Guzzler’s Mug, so why not join us for a beer or two in the clubhouse and congratulate the Guzzler. Results of the Previous Weeks.

Porter and Matthews defend title
17 Sep, 2010 10:11 AM Seasoned duo Paul Matthews and Sam Porter successfully defended their Gregory and McCarthy sponsored open four ball title last week in tough conditions at Worth Street. Due to a big drop of rain late in the week, the course was at its longest for many a year. The tricky conditions resulted in winning scores of what might be a record high for a best ball event. Matthews and Porter’s 69 one over par was good enough to hold off the combination of Mark Holt and Robert Field, who shot 70. The nett event was also quite congested with Rowley Camons and John Anglin winners on 60, followed by three teams on 62 fighting for second place. The consistent Bob Johnson and ‘Rabbit’ Kevin Healy got the nod from the match committee over Norm Napper and Rodney Bullman and Raiders number one supporter Phillip White and his work colleague and golfing pal, Michael Coggan. The ball competition extended a further shot with Michael Townsend and John Brady figuring. Nearest the pins went John Anglin on the 11th and Chris Bradley on the Aussie Hotel sponsored 16th. The sun continued to shine on Sunday, but the old track was still on top with Jim Aravanis the only player to better his handicap, securing the trophy with 39 points. Some usual suspects secured golf balls, including Michael Coggan, Brendan Abbey, John Bray, Simon Kelly and Kym Stephan. The ball competition cut out at 34 points. Phillip White hit his own ball to secure nearest the pin at 16. Midweek comp ending September 12 A grade: Bernie Puckett (14) 21 pts on countback ($20) A grade runner-up: Kevin Mann (15) 21 pts (2 balls) B grade: Mick Townsend (22) 23 pts ($20) Runner-up: Tom Pinson (24) 21 pts (2 balls) Ball winners: Norm Napper, C Phillips, S Curtis, F O’Brien, S Reid, D Douglas, B Puckett. Dad’s Army A better morning weather-wise saw a few more players, ten in all, front the starter in the Dad’s Army competition on Thursday. Bernie ‘The Fence Hopper’ Puckett was the man to chase this week as he brought in a card with 18 points, enough to take out the money. The two balls on offer were picked up by Peter Anderson and Rod Perceval after they both returned 17 points each. Good golfing ‘boys’ and we hope that the course is a little drier next week.

Holt new King of Bellevale
BY GRANDDADDY 09 Sep, 2010 05:28 PM The nuggetty Mark Holt is the new King of the Golf Club’s Bellevale Cattle Company sponsored Matchplay title after a solid 2/1 victory over the ‘old’ king, Robert Field, in adverse conditions last Saturday. Holt’s victory on the sodden track completes the year’s matchplay competition and sees him join B grade champion, the much travelled scribe Allan Golding, and Club captain and C grade winner, Neville Matthews, as silverware recipients. Thank you to Brendan Abbey for his continued sponsorship of this event. If Brendan’s current form continues, he may find himself in contention for next year’s title… not sure what grade though! Due to damp conditions last weekend, numbers for both Saturday and Sunday were limited, with only pro events up for grabs. Scott Medway was the best of 11 starters on Saturday, with a credible – or maybe that should be incredible – 84-15-69. Next best was Chris Bradley with nett 70. Balls went to Peter Auld (72) and Robert Field (74). Auld also plucked nearest the pin on the eighth and Tony Bayley no doubt teed one high on the Aussie Hotel Sponsored 16th hole to take the loot. Salty returns ‘Old Salty’ Laurie Saltmere returned ‘home’ to topple the other six starters in the Sunday pro competition with 40 points, 5 points clear of Damian Williams and Brendan Abbey. It’s good to see Laurie and Katie back in town for a couple of days to celebrate Salty’s 49th birthday. His preparation for the day’s golf didn’t appear ideal, but you can’t underestimate experience. Taking the conditions in mind, the match committee has decided to reschedule the popular Bob Rogers Guzzlers Mug competition to Saturday September 18. Paul Matthews was another member to return home, except in the other direction. He ventured back to Leonay in Sydney’s west and finished third in the Ray Dukes Cup. Dukes is a former manager of Leonay and mentor to Matthews. He also did the rounds at Yass last winter. Midweek comp A grade: Wilbur Whyte 19 points (11). Runner-up: Doug Oldfield 19 points (20). B grade: Marion Darmody 19 points (27). Maureen Bray 19 points (25). Ball competition: A McIntyre, B Puckett, B Brooker, I Lumsden, C Phillips. Dad’s Army It would seem that weather won the day with only five of the troops turning out to play in the Dad’s Army Comp this week. It turned out to be a fair day as the morning wore on. I don’t think anyone got very wet but the forecast didn’t read very well. The ‘Old Chippy’ Ken Burden was able to handle the conditions and hand in a very good card once again with 19 points on it. Ken is making a bit of a habit of taking out the money lately with some very consistent scoring. As there were only five players there were no balls on offer. The scoring ranged from 10 down to 13 points. Good golfing ‘boys’. Upcoming events September 11: Gregory and McCarthy sponsored Open 4BBB Championship (18 hole gross plus nett trophies on the table). September 12: Individual stableford. September 25: Club 4BBB championship September 26: Club foursomes championships (27 hole gross plus nett trophies). Until next week.

Field, Field and Watchorn champs
20 Nov, 2009 04:00 AM For three rounds during the year the three person ambrose teams sought to qualify for the big end of year final. Nine of the ten qualifiers were able to field their teams and best of the nine was the classy combination of Robert Field, David Field and Russell Watchorn with their 58-6-52 winning score. In second spot was the team of Wayne Wilson, Blake Partridge and Wayne Vickery and next best were Mal Marshall, Barnie Greig and Les Cox. Nearest the pins went to B Partridge, S Kelly and M Garland. A big thank you to sponsor Retravision and to all the golfers who participated. The main golf talking point continues to be the amazingly high scores being recorded. Last Sunday 41pts did not win a ball and on the Saturday 38pts failed to do so. The startling transition from moist fairways to run-a-mile dry fairways has been rapid and dramatic and in many cases second shots on par fours have been reduced to chips or putts for the longer hitters. The CCR will not come below 65 and there will be many cases of members not winning even a golf ball while losing a full shot off their handicaps. Such justice is kangaroo court fair! One Michael Fish reinstated his membership and immediately recorded 48pts to win Saturday B Grade. On the other side of the coin his handicap dropped from 24 to 16 on that very same day. Barry Topple continues to impress for the third week in a row. His 44pts only picked up a ball this time. Club Captain Neville Matthews has really taken the business of improving his golf ultra seriously and recorded a whopping 46pts on Sunday to pick up another victory.

Dad’s Army Another good roll call for the old troops last Thursday and a blistering pace at the head of the nine hole charge was set by Ian Bluett. His 24pts was four points clear of the very consistent Captain Jack Wales while Graham Howlett, Kevin Mann and Wilbur Whyte picked up a ball each for their efforts. Business House One-hundred-and-thirte en players voted with their golf clubs in a big show of support for the popular Business House summer daylight saving comp last Thursday and Friday.
