Devonport Golf Club 15 November 2024
41 players teed off at Devonport Golf Club competing for the Don Mapley Memorial Trophy in ideal golfing conditions. The course was in excellent condition. Thanks go to our sponsors of the day Clark Windows represented by Jamie Kaye and Zac House. Please support our Sponsors as they are great support to our Club each year.
Thanks to Devonport Golf Club for supporting the day and both Golf shop and Alissa and bar staff for ensuring the day went well.
As you will see in the results, scores were pretty good with most winners beating handicap.
Winners for the day were as follows:
The best stableford score for the day and winner of the Don Mapley Trophy was Simon Direen of Direen Homes with a great round of 1 over par 37 pts.
Div 1 – Michael White 36 pts. R/up with 34 pts – Mike Rataj
Div 2 – Selwyn Dalton with 34 pts on cb from R/up Trevor Johnston on 34 pts.
Div 3 – Tony Dick 32 pts David Walker R/up with 31 pts
Nearest the pins were Eddie Saville on 9 and Shane Cleary on 10, both showing that a blind chook will find the wheat once in a while!!
Finally, our $100 Member draw was not won.
Hopefully, we will see a good turnout of Members and Visitors at our last game at Royal Hobart Golf Club on December 6th.

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.
