Royal Hobart Golf Day
 
Our final game for 2022 was played at Royal Hobart Golf Club. The final number of players was 26. We had a lot more registered, but illness caused some late withdrawals. Royal has had a lot of water table issues and course changes over the last 12 months and apart from a few persistent wet areas the course was in good condition. Thanks to Matt Docking and staff in ensuring the day ran smoothly.
 
There were some great scores on the day with the best by John Rainbird with 41 points. A new member this year, John finished the season off with a bang. John is a great exponent of putting from a long way out !!!.
 
Ben Smith won Division 1 with 39 pts from Rodney Edwards with 38 pts . 
Local member Peter Johnson was successful in Division 2 with 39 pts from Tony Bennett with 37 pts.
The visitor prize was won by another Local member David Tunbridge on 37 pts from Patrick Walker on 33 pts.
Nearest the Pins were won by Captain Neil Faulks and Peter Johnson.

The day was Sponsored by Carpet Court and a big thanks to Tim Bomford.
Our Member Jackpot of $200 was not won as Gary (Lunchalot) Linton was not in attendance.
Thanks to Ian Mansfield for assisting on the day and supplying some great South Arm pinkeye chats for lunch.

To all Members and Sponsors please have a great Xmas, stay safe and see you in the New Year.

​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. 


​Today.....

Today the Club enjoys a membership of over 75 plus a number of regular visitors attending golf days. In 2023 we have 10 events scheduled across the State (see current program here). The 62nd National Tournament was very successfully hosted by the Gold Coast club at Coolangatta Tweed (West & River courses) and The Glades at Robina. The club is now preparing for the M R Hornibrook Cup in October, to be played on the Bellarine peninsula, SW Victoria. Courses selected are to be confirmed. Full details will be on the National website ... here
​
This year sees the continuation of a Consistency Trophy with points allocated from each event according to relative position in the field in each grade. We thank Newstead Plaster and Insulation as ongoing sponsors of this event, and convey our gratitude for their past support.

The Club continues to look to build numbers and is keen to include members of Allied Trades. Anyone wishing to play in an event is most welcome and can find more information from the Secretary at admin@mbtgolfclub.com.au or from the next event page of this site.
