Kingston Beach Golf Club event.
Kingston Beach hosted our MBTGC golf day on 30th September. A cool sunny day greeted the 37 players. The golf course was in good conditions but the recent rain made it heavy in some areas. Scores reflected the conditions with only one player playing to handicap.
Thanks go to the KBGC Professionals Dan and Christian, greenkeepers, bar staff and catering staff for ensuring we had a great day. A huge thanks to Glen Johnson from Master Builders Insurance Brokers for sponsoring the day.
Winners for the day were as follows:
MBT GC Member Prizes:
The best stableford score for MBT GC Members went to Ross Nixon with a solid 36 points.
A Grade – Winner with 35 points was Ben Smith. Runner up Craig Johnson 33 pts c/b
B Grade - Winner with 33 points was Tony Wilton from Matt Pedler on 31pts
C Grade - Winner with 35 points was Sam Vickers from Gilbert Bantoft with 34 points
Visitors - Winner Patrick Walker with 33 points and his score could have been better if he had not hit a tee marker on his first hole tee shot which I might add had other players scattering.
NTP's 7th Hole – Eddie Saville, 18th Hole – Mark Johnson.
It was an eventful day on the course with one of our long-time members remote-controlled buggy ending up in the large dam. It didn’t float!!!. Neville Smith provided SES water support in its retrieval and John Erends and Gil Bantoft provided some additional transport required to continue play. Funny game golf !!!!!
Finally, our $100 Member draw was not won and Jackpots to $150 next game at Devonport on 18th November.

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.....

The 62nd National Tournament has, as a result of the Covid pandemic, been cancelled both in 2020 and 2021 and the club is now supporting the M R Hornibrook Cup in October 2022, to be played on the Gold Coast, SE Queensland. Courses selected are Coolangatta Tweed (West & River courses) and The Glades at Robina. Full details are on the National website ... here
