Sun is forecast for Saturday, a bit of a relief after a grey week. There are a number of events coming up in the programme that members need to be aware of to book into, and if they have qualified confirm their entry.

Firstly, Monthly medal finals are held on the 5^th of December. Players who have won a monthly medal have been contacted to confirm their entry. If you haven’t please contact the Proshop or myself to confirm your entry. Secondly, the Christmas Hamper closing day Shotgun is on the 12^th of December. There are two starts this year, one at 8.00am and the afternoon shotgun at 12.30pm. Entries are being taken by the Proshop.

This weekend is the final play off for the two players, Errol Hume and Helen Beswick who tied for the Race to Millbrook Eclectic event. They are playing a nett round with the best nett score to decide the winner. A big thank you to Bruce Maetzig who has worked to collate the results and to Chris Sweeney of Pioneer Pools who has sponsored the prize. For the men it is a Par round and for the ladies it is 4BBB nett event.

The men’s shootout was completed on Sunday. The weather was less than ideal, more winter like than spring like as we have had in past years. It is a long day for those players who make it through to the final holes, and equally a short day for those who are knocked out early. Due to the number of entries this year (50) and the addition of the Peninsula Beachfront resort accommodation package (7 nights in Mooloolaba) as first prize the prize table was full. If you made it past hole 6 you gained a prize. Congratulations to Scott McKenzie who beat Peter Coleman in a putt-off on the 18^th to decide the winner.
