Ulverstone Golf Club 20 May 2022
The annual Eddie French Memorial Shield was held at Ulverstone on 20th May. 34 players teed off in cool sunny conditions. Although a little wet underfoot the course was in great condition with the greens as quick as anywhere in the state. Thanks go to our sponsors for the day Trevor & Deb Johnson from Floor Sanding, Rod Edwards from T&G glass, Clint Van Neutagen from Ulverstone Building Centre, and Hanson Concrete. Please support these businesses as they are great support to our Club each year. Thanks to Ulverstone Golf Club for allowing us to play on the day and Golf Professional Darren Spencer and his off-sider Jim who assisted setting up the day together with bar staff, and the members who cooked a great BBQ. As you will see in the results a lot of Ulverstone members used their local knowledge well. |

Winners for the day were as follows:

B Grade - 1st with 34 points – Peter Sharman on c/back from Ross Nixon on 34pts
C Grade - 1st with 30 points – Roger Eadie. R/up with 29 points – Tony Dick
The Visitors' prize went to young local member Logan Hazelwood with 41 points. Certainly will not be off 17 next game. Runner up with 32 points was another local, Ryan Milton.
Nearest the pins went to local members Tony Bennett on the 9th & Terry Leary on the 18th
Finally, our Member draw, now standing at $200, was not won.
Hopefully, we will see a big turnout of players at our next game at Orford Golf Club on Friday June 10th. This day is the Ken Weeding Memorial Day.

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.
