The winners had 8 players tee up with the (for the best 75% of their players) avg. 31.33 to win from South with 16 players with the avg. 30.47. North did not qualify this year.
Top scores for the day went to Rodney Edwards from N West with a great score of 39 points and Selwyn Dalton from North. All other winners are on our Website Home MBT GC,
Members' jackpot of $100 won by Eddie Saville.
We are again very grateful to the support given to this event by John Siejka from Continental Builders as well as Selwyn Dalton of Newstead Plaster/Insulation

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 2020 we had 11 events scheduled across the State. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic, a number of those fixtures have been cancelled or rescheduled (see current program here). So too has the 2020 National Tournament and the club is now supporting the M R Hornibrook Cup in October 2021, to be played at the NSW courses of New South Wales, St Michael's and Bonnie Doon.
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. Thanks to Fletcher Insulation for this 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.
