Next event ~ Kingston Beach Golf Club ~ Fri 1 Feb |
Current News.....
To our Members, Sponsors and regular Visitors,
Thanks for your participation through 2018. We have had good numbers at most events and look forward to making the 2019 season an even better year.
Last Friday was our final round and Devonport Golf Club looked after us very well. Best Golf Club Member score was John Erends with 37 points. Matt Marston had the best score of the day with 38 and won the visitor prize. Check out the website at mbatasgolf.org for the full list of winners.
The 2018 winner of the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy is Selwyn Dalton on 167 points from Sam Vickers on 151 and Neil Faulks on 133. See how you went in the attached result list. How much closer would it have been if Sam had been able to play last Friday?
And speaking of people who didn't get to the last game, Greg Treweek was drawn out for the $400 member jackpot but was not there. Unlucky Treeks! Tony Bennett didn't mind though as he collected $100 in a consolation draw for the last game of the year. Our member jackpot will start again at $100 next year.
2019 will start with a game at Kingston Beach Golf Club in early February. We have not held a day there for a while, so it is a good opportunity to play a different layout.
The Master Builders National Championships are in South Australia in October 2019. Tasmania took a team of 24 to Brisbane in 2018 and would like to increase that number for 2019. We might not have won the event last year (we came 4th) but we did have the biggest group and even out numberer the host State. Don't be the one saying "I'll go if you go", say "Come on, let’s go and have a week of fun"! Have a look at the invitation.
Enjoy your Christmas and may Santa bring you that golf swing you have always wanted.

Kind Regards

Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club
A little history.....
The Social Golf Club of the Master Builders Tasmania was formed in Hobart in 1971 from the organisation of Bill Shields, Lou Stubbs, Eddie French, Stick Hale and a number of others, representing both Builder and Associate members of the MBA. Lou Stubbs was elected the foundation President. The club is conducted under a constitution, is self supporting both financially and administratively but always with the support of the Master Builders Association. The object of the club is to function solely for the social welfare of the members, each of whom pledges to be an ambassador of goodwill towards all sections of the trade, acting with dignity at all times.
Another core commitment of the club is to participate annually in and at all times to promote the national MBA Inc. tournament competing for the M R Hornibrook Cup. Tasmania entered the scene of Hornibrook Tournaments in 1966 when a small band of golfers from the North West Division, namely Lou Stubbs, Eddie French and Owen Bird participated on a non-state basis. They were so impressed that arrangements were made immediately to seek admission to the tournament for Tasmania and to organise a team for Newcastle in 1967. Seven members made the trip, to be disappointed by the requirement of 8 members per team, until Newcastle, in the spirit of the tournament, loaned Tasmania a player and so made the representation official for the first time.
