MBA Golf Day
Ulverstone Golf Club 12 May 2017
Who said MBA golfers don’t play in the rain?
Ulverstone turned on some pretty heavy showers for the field of 40 dedicated players. Fortunately, they didn’t last long, (the showers not players) and the course was in magnificent condition.
Local member John Brett returned the best score of the day with 35 points.
Col Heron became the inaugural winner of the Eddie French Memorial Shield for the best score by a MBA Builder Member (or retired member) with 31 points. Col is pictured with the shield.
Full results and Fletcher Insulation Consistency points can be found on the link on the 2017 program page.
Our next event is at Thirlstane on Friday 9 June.

A field of 30 for the third round of the year was a little disappointing but some good golf was reflected in the scores. Congratulations to Eddie Turner for the best score of the day with 40 points.
We are very appreciative of the support given to the Club by Launceston Mazda who provided trophies for the day and are on board for the next event at Ulverstone and Devonport later in the year.
Our next outing is at Ulverstone on Friday 12 May which is the 50th year we have held this Annual Golf Day at this Club. We look forward to a great day and trust as many members as possible will attend.
Remember that guests are welcome so if you want to bring a group along we would be happy to see you there.
Good Golfing.

Numbers were down for the day at Tasmania with only 24 starters. Unfortunately the date clashed with the Pro-am at Ulverstone and others away on golfing tours. Despite perfect conditions no one returned a score better than handicap. The best score of the day went to Selwyn Dalton with 33 on a countback from Scott Richards.
The Visitors were rewarded for even lower scores with winner and runner up shooting 26 points.

The Cup goes North West
Rodney Edwards returned the best score of the day with a fine 41 points and led the way for the North West to carry off the Continental Cup with an average score of 31.9 from North on 31.5 and South on 30.6. South had the most players but unfortunately their scores gravitated to the lower end.
Once again we are very grateful to the support given to this event by John Siejka from Continental Builders as well as Selwyn Dalton of Newstead Plaster and to Bunnings North Launceston.

It was perfect conditions for the final game of 2016 at Royal Hobart and, once again, Hanson made a significant contribution to the success of the day through their generous sponsorship. The full lists of results can be found on the link on the fixtures page.
As predicted, Selwyn Dalton continued his run-away form in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy winning with a year total of 73 points. Tony Wilton came in second with 58.5 from Dennis French on 56.5. Thanks to Gary Linton from Fletcher Insulation for this support.
Our thanks too go out to John Siejka of Continental Builders for his support of the Continental Cup won by the Southern region this year. We also played another two days under Hornibrook scoring with North West winning convincingly at Devonport and just ahead at Royal Hobart. They secured Regional bragging rights over the 3 rounds. North need to work on increasing participant numbers!
Best wishes to all for the festive season and I look forward to catching up at our first game for 2017. Our roster is still in draft for next year but it looks like round 1 will be at Launceston in mid February.

Devonport Golf Club was in magnificent condition and this reflected in the scores of a few of the 31 players.
John Brett won A Grade with 38 points from Ian Mansfield 37, Kevin Casey took out B Grade with 34 from Terry Commane on 31.
Eddie Turner won C Grade with the best score of the day being 42 points and Tony Dick was a distant second on 34 while the Visitor prize was won by Maureen Walton on 40 from Paul DeGroot on 36.
Mike Webster sacrificed his game of golf to look after the field and collate the scores which ensured the day ran very smoothly and results were done quickly. Thanks Mike. Also thanks to Craig Clark from Clark Windows for his contribution to the trophies.
The final round for 2016 is at Royal Hobart on Friday 2 December

MBA Golf Club News ~ 2016 Hornibrook Report!
MBA Tasmania Golf Club was represented by 18 players at the National Championship in the Hunter Valley. Unfortunately one did not get out of the starting gates, still recovering from a broken wrist and one only managed the first round before being unable to continue.
The remaining 16 battled on bravely but we could only manage a close 5th on an average of 28.7692 points. John Erends was the best of our team winning the Eddie French Medal with a 99 point total.
Sadly, Frank Pedler passed away upon returning from the tournament. He had just completed his 15th Hornibrook and will be missed greatly by both our local membership and fellow players nationally.

The onset of winter conditions across the State has seen a drop in numbers at our last two events. Those brave enough to venture out have been rewarded with quite reasonable weather considering.
Ulverstone on 19 May had a field of 27 and Tasmania on 25 June a disappointing 21.
The Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy standings have moved somewhat with Selwyn Dalton taking the lead from Darren Pybus and Dennis French. Check out the 2016 program page for full results.

Our 2016 season kicked off very well with 48 players at Orford Golf Club. Recent dry conditions followed by flash flooding tested the course's ability to recover but apart from a few patches where preferred lies were used the course was very good.
Once again we were generously supported by Walkers Coaches with Dave Walker providing crayfish for the grade winner's prizes and supplying the meat for the BBQ.
A big thank you to Walkers Coaches who also run the Airport Undercover Parking in Hobart. (Members take note when travelling).
41 points was the popular score for winners in all grades with John Erends winning A Grade, Gil Bantoft B Grade and Dave Walker C Grade. The Visitors was won by David Nunn on 37 points.

We are very grateful to Hanson for their continued support of the Royal Hobart day.

With the last round came the final points in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy. Trevor Johnston came from the clouds to overtake myself and Mike Rataj and win with a total for the year of 68 points. I believe this has been a very worthwhile event and has prompted a few to make sure they do not miss games. Thanks to Gary Linton from Fletcher Insulation for this support.

Greens Beach Golf Club hosted 40 players for the second game in our 2015 roster which was sponsored by SPT Security. What started as showers cleared away to a fine day and enjoyable conditions. Trevor Johnston from Ulverstone Golf Club returned the best score of the day with a fine 42 points.
A Grade was won by Jason Cochrane with 39 points from Tony Wilton 38. B Grade was Mike Rataj on 41 from Dennis Montiero on 40. C Grade went to David Walker 31 on a countback from Mike Webster. The Visitors was won by D Johnstone 39 from R Lee 35.
Nearest to the pins were won by Paul Almond, Tom Bishop and D Johnstone. It was interesting to see that the leaders in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy came back to the field somewhat (or did the field catch up?) and results can be found on the bottom of the 2015 program page.
Thank you to Jason and Dennis from SPT Security for their continued support of the MBA Tas Golf Club and good to see they finished amongst the winners. Also thanks to Greens Beach Golf Club for making us welcome and presenting the course in such good condition.
Finally thanks to the 17 players from Thirlstane Golf Club who turned up on mass to boost our numbers. I hope you enjoyed your day and look forward to your support qat our next event at Oatlands Golf Club on 17 April.

The final MBA Tas Golf Day for 2014 looked like it was going to be a wet affair with drizzle greeting players as they arrived at Tasmania Golf Club. We had a field of 47 players including 17 visitors. Luckily umbrellas and wet weather gear were only required briefly and the weather turned out quite pleasant.
We have been very fortunate to again have Clennett’s Mitre 10 as a major sponsor of the day providing most of the trophies and the post game meal. Harvey Norman Hobart also chipped in with two great prizes. All players should greatly appreciate the contribution these companies have made in making the day a success. Please consider them when you are looking for products they can offer.
Best score of the day went to Selwyn Dalton with 40 points. The full list of results can be found here.
We are finalising our fixtures list for 2015 and this will be posted on the web site shortly however we can confirm the first game will be at Claremont Golf Club on Friday 20 February 2015.
On behalf of our President Ian Mansfield and the rest of the Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club Committee I wish you a happy and safe Christmas and look forward to seeing you at our events next year.
Good Golfing.

Oatlands Golf Club rolled out the welcome mat for our day on Friday 7 November and even had Danny Davis out mowing greens before we arrived.
Our numbers were down on last year and while it was disappointing to have just 28 players, those who did make the trip had a good day with sunny conditions and a breeze (wind) keeping the temperature down to something comfortable.
The BBQ on the day was hosted by SPT Security and our thanks also go to Roger and Danny from Oatlands Golf Club for being our BBQ chefs as well as Jamie for manning the bar.
Terry Commane shot the score of the day with a fine 41 points. Congratulations Terry. From there scores dropped away considerably with visitors outscoring members as can be seen from the results found here.
Our final golf day for 2014 is at Tasmania Golf Club on Friday 5 December 2014. This will be a day well worth attending with Clennetts Mitre 10 putting up in excess of $1000 in prizes. Remember guests are most welcome so invite some mates to come along.

“A day in Memory of Tom”
Greens Beach turned on great weather for our event which was the first MBA golf day since the passing of Tom Vimpany and so it was played in his honour. We had 33 members and guests make the trip.
The day was hosted by SPT Security and our thanks go to Tim Vimpany and Jason Cochrane from SPT for sponsoring a second day for the year.
It was clear that there had been some pretty wet weather in the lead up to our day as the top of the course was quite wet with a ‘tee up’ rule on the 4th and preferred lies on other parts of the course. Despite this, Greens Beach was in good condition and the greens were excellent.
The scores perhaps reflected the lack of run or maybe we just didn’t bring our A game with us. Except for Trevor Johnston that is who was the only player to shoot better than his handicap. Congratulations Trevor. The full list of results can be found here.
Our thanks go to Greens Beach Golf Club for making us so welcome, to SPT Security for the donation of trophies and the food and to our BBQ chef John? (sorry, fading memory).
We look forward to greeting as many as possible at our next golf day at Royal Hobart Golf Club on 19 September. Remember guests are most welcome so invite some mates to come along.

Our first game in the North West region this year certainly brought out the locals. Of the 59 entrants, 38 were members of Ulverstone Golf Club. The Visitors also well outnumbered the MBA Golf Club Members which reflected in some of the scores. Some may have been surprised to be counted in the visitors having been members in the past but with 2014 membership due by 31 March, only the financial members were eligible for the grade prizes. Rodney Edwards was the winner of the MBA Builder Member trophy with 37 points while Trevor Johnston captured the MBA Golf Club Member trophy with a fine 41 points.
This was the 47th year this event has been run at Ulverstone and it’s success is due to the generous contributions made by our sponsors of the day. I would like to acknowledge Wells Home Timber and Hardware Latrobe, Fairbrother P/L, Harvey Norman, T&G Glass, Polished Concrete Creations, Graham Elliott & Associates, IGA Spreyton, Laminex Industries and Grant Matson. Members should consider these businesses when in need of the services they can provide. A full list of the day’s results and our sponsors can be accessed here. Thanks also to Tony Mills and his staff at Ulverstone Golf Club who made us most welcome and turned the course out in splendid condition.

It was another very successful day thanks to the kind generosity of sponsor Walkers Coaches who not only arranged the trophies but also provided the melt in the mouth steaks for the BBQ at the finish of play. When presenting prizes to the winners David Walker was proud to mention that the major prizes were sourced from local business so that the community benefited from the trophies provided.
Tony Rowell won the A grade on a countback from Neil Faulks on 39 points with Tim Elmer one point back on 38. It was equally close in B grade with Ross Nixon getting up on a countback from Bob Barry on 40 points and Frank Pedler third on 36. C grade went to E Harvey with the best score of the day, 42 points. Bob Walker was second on 40 and David Walker on 38.The winners in each grade received a Maria Island voucher for 2 adults. The visitors prize went to T Knight on 39 with Leigh Batchelor and Danny Barrow on 37.
Longest drives were won by D Maine (who also won nearest for 2 on the 4th), Ross Nixon and E Harvey. Each received 2 bottles of wine and a wine rack from local vineyard Darlington Wines. Nearest to the pins were won by I Picone and John Erends.

Subject: Golf Day at Tasmania
Hi all,
On a sunny day (albeit Friday 13th Dec) at the Tasmania Golf Club a total of 58 golfers took on the testing layout. The hole/pin positions were set for the next day’s Monthly Medal so it set up for a tough day. I would like to thank Clennett’s Mitre 10 for the fantastic sponsorship for the day. The prizes provided by Clennett’s Mitre 10 were of exceptional quality and all players enjoyed the food provided by our sponsor as well. Thanks must also go to the Tasmania Golf Club staff for their assistance in arranging the day and the use of the course.
MBT Golf Club Members Results
The C grade players struggled somewhat on the course with veteran Leon Cahir (Young Leon) coming out on top with a score of 29 stableford points from David Walker on a count back on the same score. B grade was hotly contested with the old stager Bobby Barry coming in with 34 points to out-shine Shane Painter also on a count back. In A Grade one of the early players on the course Gary Linton returned a great score of 42 points only to be overrun by one of the players in the last group of the day with a greater score of 43 points (4 under par) by Paul Faulks.
The Visitors Results
Jacob Gillbee carded the best score for the visitors with a fine score of 39 points followed by David Jones with 36.
A full list of the other novelty prizes can be seen by following the link to the day’s full results or on our webpage located at www.mbagolf.org States Regions/Tasmania. Once again a big thank you to Clennett’s Mitre 10 for their contribution and assisting in making the day a great success.
Next year’s golf calendar will be posted on our webpage in early January. The first day will be held in late February. New members are welcome. Enquiries can be sent to [email protected] or by contacting your nearest MBT office.
Kind Regards
