Helensburgh Bowling Club Social Golf Club

First of all, a warm welcome to our new members who started this moth. Thank you for supporting the club.
This month’s event on 3 April was held at the Illawarra Country Golf Club. It was an unusual hot autumn’s day and the heat was going to test the players on the course. The event for the day was Stableford.
With a 30-degree temperature, we had a great turn up with 29 starters. By the middle of the round, some of the golfers were feeling the heat and their normal playing ability slowly began to decline, much to their disappointment.
At the half-way mark, players were comparing scores and few poor ones were being recorded on the score cards. Only player was having a “shocker” and said he would be taking home the “Bradman’s Award”. He was so confident that he even asked for burger rings instead of chips. Yes, he did win this award, and yes, he did receive his bag of burger rings!
The winner of the event was Shane Smith on 38 points; 2nd “ever consistent” Dave Green on 35 points and 3rd Andrew Jeffcoat on 31 points (on a three-way count back). Well done! Dave Green was awarded the Joe Doherty Mug from last round. Congratulations!
The social golf club is in a sound position. We do all our own fundraising and are in a very sound financial position to continue our social golf club for many years to come.
All those keen (and not so keen) golfers, including newcomers to the Burgh who wish to play golf in a friendly, social atmosphere, come along and join us. We play the first Sunday of each month. We are all ages from 18 to over 80 so come and join in. We play the local golf courses, Boomerang and Illawarra. Great prizes and great fun.
