Oatlands Golf Club hosted our September game of Master Builders Tas Golf Club. A total of 25 players teed it up for the day. Players were treated to cool but fine breezy weather and the course was in excellent condition given recent wet periods. Scoring was difficult as there was no run on the course.
Thanks to David Thomas and members for their hospitality on the day and supplying morning tea and a great BBQ.
Top MBT Member score of the day went to Derrick McPherson with 35pts
Division 1 was won by Geoff Doig with 34 pts from Craig Boucher on 33
Division 2 was won by Darren Eiszele with 32 pts from Selwyn Dalton on 29 pts
Nearest the pins were won by Eddie Saville and Rodney Simpson
$50 member Jackpot did not go off so goes up to $100 at Devonport in November.
There is no game in October as the Master Builders Australia "Hornibrook Cup" tournament is on in the Hunter Valley this year with 26 Members representing our state in this competition.

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.
