Current News.....
Oatlands Golf Club 3rd March 2023
Oatlands Golf Club hosted our second Master Builders Tas Golf Club game of 2023.
A total of 31 players teed it up for the day. It has been a few years since we have played at Oatlands.
After a chilly Midlands morning players were treated to perfect weather and the course was in excellent condition. Not sure how the Golf Tas people can rate this course so low at 109 slope rating. This course is not that easy!!!!!!!
John Erends had a day out on the par 3’s by winning the 2 Nearest The Pins.
$200 member Jackpot did not go off so remains at $200 for our next game at Thirlstane Golf Club on 31st March.
A huge thanks to David Thomas and helpers from the club who provided excellent hospitality and a great BBQ.

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
