Firstly, and most importantly is your Scorecard.
• If you don’t finish your round for any reason, please do NOT put your card through the scanner. Please either return your card to the office or place it in the drawers under the terminals.
• Cards must be entered within 15 MINUTES of completion of your round. It is not the Vets Committee’s responsibility to chase people up for their cards. If no card is returned you will be disqualified.
• Please ensure you save your score after you have scanned it. You MUST ensure you check to see the scanned results agree with your cards before leaving the terminal. Incorrect cards could also incur disqualification.
• The presentation can be delayed by at least 15 minutes due to the problems that arise with people either not checking or not returning their scorecards.
Our AGM is to be held on the 29th October and some of our long-term Committee Members will be retiring. Please consider giving a little back to our Club and join our committed and happy band of volunteers.
The annual Christmas Party will be held on the 9th of December.

Captain Larry Lipscombe led an invasion of Bargara Vets golfers across to Bundaberg to do battle in the 2nd Round of the Bungara Shield. 66 Bargara Vets made the short journey to try and seal a win, and retain the shield, leading after the 1st round by 86 points. A close defeat by 17 points, meant Bargara won by a whopping 69 points overall. Showing his leadership, the Skip hit a delightful 5-iron into the short Par 3 8th only to see it drop in the hole to record the 2nd hole-in-one of his long trophy-filled golfing career.

A hardcore of our nomadic Vets travelled down to Maryborough for the Vets Open Carnival 2-day event, held on the 8th and 9th of July. Our superstar of the event was Chris Bloem who took out the prize for the overall Division 2 Winner, winning a GPS, which I am reliably informed, was well timed as it replaced the one she put in the washing machine recently!! Also collecting prizes were Kathy McDonnell who finished runner up in the Division 1 overall competition, President Chippy Smallwood winning the Day 1 Division 3 event – looking very pleased with himself here – and Don McKewen who triumphed in the Day 2 Div 3 event. Don and the crew celebrated their victories, and Don’s birthday, with a few quiet glasses of wine afterwards. Well done to all of you.

Congratulations to Glynn Bryan who celebrated his 94th birthday on the July Monthly Medal day. Glynn hit a fantastic 112 (Nett 77) and is a shining example to us all. Happy Birthday Glynn.
