Re: Game at Devonport Country Club 17th November
A total of 51 Members and visitors played at Devonport Country Club last Friday 17th Nov. Great to see our visitor numbers up, with 10 players for this event . We also had two Guests from Queensland Master Builders, Tony Mapley and Brett Mooney, play on the day.
With the Tasmanian Amateur Championships being held over the weekend at the Club we were greeted with CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE CONDITIONS with the greens extremely fast running at 13 on the stimp meter. The weather and scores matched the course condition.
Our day at Devonport was also the inaugural game of the Don Mapley Memorial Shield in honour of Don who served the Master Builders Golf Club for many years. His son Tony added to the prize pool with some of Don's Hickory Clubs and a book written by Don about the Ulverstone Course.
Young member and local greenkeeper Logan Heazlewood had a great score of 40pts to win the best score by a MBTas GC member.
Grade Winners for the day:
- Craig Clark won A grade with 38 pts from the reliable Ben Smith with 35 pts.
- Trevor Johnston was successful in B grade again with 36 pts from Hanz Thogerson with 34 pts cb.
- Roger Eadie won C grade with 31 pts from Gil Bantoft on 30 pts.
Nearest the Pins were won by Michael White and Tony Wilton. Harry Skedlar won the card draw.
The day was again sponsored by Clark Windows and a big thank you to Craig Clark. Craig also announced he will continue to sponsor this day for three further years.
Also huge thanks to Devonport Country Club green staff, bar staff, Stuart and Alex in the Pro shop for ensuring we had a smoothly run day.
Our Member Jackpot was not won so it is $100 next game at Royal Hobart on 1st December.

Re: Game at Mowbray Golf Club 27th October
Hi Members, apologies but due to insufficient numbers we have to cancel the proposed game at Mowbray on the 27th October. The next game will therefore be at Devonport, as advertised above.
In looking at why, short notice to members seeking participation and the public Holiday in Hobart on the 26th plus the closeness to the Hornibrook 8-13 Oct and Devonport Nov 17 have all factored in this.
As I said previously its unfair to Mowbray, our Sponsor and you the Members to run an event with low numbers.

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.

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.

Royal Hobart Golf Club, our final game of 2021, certainly gave the 40 players a different experience from their normal game of golf at Royal. What a day! After over 30mls of rain fell in an hour on Thursday afternoon the course was like a lakes course. Players were seen removing footwear to wade into water on the fairways and into bunkers to retrieve balls. Some asked for flippers and a snorkel !!. Despite the water the course was in its usual good condition. Thanks go to Matt Docking and greens staff in supporting us to be able to play.
The scores were not reflective of the wet conditions.
The best score on the day for Master Builders Tas Golf Club Members was Gary Linton off 6 handicap with a great 38 points on countback.
Rodney Edwards won A grade with 38 points from Athol Tubb with 37 points on countback from Craig Clark.
Tony Wilton was successful in B grade with 34 pts on c/b from President Ian Mansfield also on 34.
David Walker won C grade {back-to-back wins} with 36 pts from ever consistent Roger Eadie on 34, on c/b from Peter Sharman.
The visitor prize was won by Jordan Woods with 36 points on c/back from Damien Messer with 36.
Nearest the Pins were won by Gary Linton & Martin Brown
The day was Sponsored by Carpet Court and a big thanks to Tim Bomford. Hopefully we will see Tim at more games next year, and challenge Selwyn Dalton in the bright dress stakes.

- “Sponsors - We don’t think it is wise to promote this event and not give our sponsors the best possible avenue to obtain return from their investment, also it would be extremely difficult to find additional sponsors at this time
- Players - We expect it to be extremely hard for players to commit to our event at this time, either due to health reasons or financial capacity during these coming months when a decision must be made.
- Crown plaza The hotel is being flexible with our contract and have offered us the opportunity to postpone our event until next year, subject to availability.
- Coronavirus Listening to the so called experts we are looking at a minimum 6 months shutdown of normal living conditions where one can expect to be freely able to visit restaurants and clubs , hold functions and play golf in normal operating conditions and feel 100% safe in doing these activities.

Tasmania Golf Club was in superb condition and we thank them for making the course available to us the day before their Club Championships started. The “gentle breeze” which prevailed for most of the day made the golf challenging but a number of good scores were returned.

Claremont Golf Club hosted us on Friday 23 August on a cold and windy day. Luckily the previous days of rain avoided us.
Massive thanks must go to Johnny Erends for his organisation of the day and for the sponsorship he provided from Steeline and arranged through Colorbond, BlueScope and Clennett Mitre 10.
He was suitably rewarded for his efforts by winning the voucher for best score of the day by a MBA Tas Golf Club member. 41 points is a very tidy effort even if it is on your home course.
Chris Erends and Neil Faulks playing in the same group as John finished 1st and 2nd in A Grade with 38 and 35 points respectively. Lucky their 4th player is a man of integrity, so no investigation was called for.
Other winning scores were Peter Johnson 34 and Ross Nixon 30 in B Grade, Sam Vickers 38 and Mick Miller 35 in C Grade and Gary Rowbottom 35 and Peter Lane 32 in the Visitors.

We were welcomed to Royal Hobart Golf Club with beautiful weather and fantastic conditions on course. Our field of 32 players included a number of guests and it is pleasing to see members bringing along people to swell our ranks. Welcome to Justin Smith who joined the Club on the day.
The results read a bit like a past or present Committee list with Col Heron (Life Member) having the best score of the day with 41 points. A Grade went to Roger Stokes (Secretary) from Neil Faulks (Captain). B Grade was won by Ian Mansfield (President and Life Member) from Mike Rataj, and C Grade, Peter Johnson (Committee) from Sam Vickers. Steve Frith won the visitors from Paul Read.
See the results page for the other details and check out the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy scores for a run down on the day’s performances and the overall standings.
Our next event is at Claremont Golf Club on Friday 23 August.

From: The Secretary To: The News Desk Sent: 15/05/2019 9:25:00 AM Subject: Launceston Country Club I start this report with a huge Thank You to Andrew McConnon and Bosch for the fantastic range of product they supplied as prizes for our day at Prospect Vale Golf Club (Launceston Country Club). If members are in the market for power tools remember to consider this sponsor’s products when making your selection. The overall winner for Best Score by a member of the MBA Tas Golf Club was Mike Rataj with 35 points. Mike (right) is pictured receiving a 6 piece tool kit from Andrew. Other Bosch 2 piece kits went to the winners of A grade (Gary Linton), B Grade (Selwyn Dalton) and C Grade (Gil Bantoft). The best score of the day was James Wardlaw who was a visitor to the MBA day although a local member at Prospect Vale. James shot a very respectable 40 points. |
|
Thanks also to Club Professional, Bryce Gorman for all his work arranging the day. Unfortunately Bryce had no control over the weather and we played in cold and sometimes wet conditions. Despite this the course was in great condition and even though most scores were on the lower side everyone appreciated the chance to take home the goods supplied by Bosch.
Our next day is at Thirlstane Golf Club on Friday 7 June. The Member Jackpot will be $200 as John Siejka was not present at Launceston when his name was drawn. I look forward to seeing you there.

Subject: Ulverstone Golf Day
We were presented with a fine and mild day for the Ulverstone Golf Day on April the 12th. The golf course itself was in fantastic condition and was enjoyed by the players that attended the day. Thanks must go out to the Ulverstone Golf Club for allowing us to play on the day and also to the bar and kitchen. We as a club would also like to thank Clyde Sharp from the Master Builders Tasmania for his work behind the scenes to arrange sponsorship, the fantastic prizes and the food for the day. Hopefully there will be many more Master Builders Tasmania (MBT) and Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club (MBT GC) joint days in the future. Our next joint event is as the Tasmania Golf Club on November the 1st.
Now to the golf results. We had two competitions for the day, an Individual Stableford event and a Team's Event Best Ball. As you will see it seemed the C Graders struggled a bit with the length of the Ulverstone layout, but we are sure they enjoyed the points they amassed. Congratulations to all the winners.
The Team's Event was taken out by locals Dave Walker, John Brett, Andrew Lewtas and Alex Smith with a very good team score of 49 points. Another northern team of Tony Dick, Paul Baggot, Mike Rataj and Sam Vickers came in second with a score of 47 points.
MBT/MBT GC Member Prizes
A Grade - 1st with 33 points - Martin Brown. Runner up with 31 points - Craig Clark
B Grade - 1st with 32 points on a count back - Trevor Johnson. Runner up with 32 points - Paul Baggot
C Grade - 1st with 29 points - Sam Vickers. Runner up with 26 points - Kent Bishop
The best stableford score for MBT/MBT GC Members went to Neil Faulks with 36 points. Neil successfully defending his Eddie French Memorial Shield he won last year.
The Visitors prize went to Dave Walker from Ulverstone (local knowledge!) with 37 points. Runner up with 36 points was Barry Bourke.
Novelty Prizes - NTP's on the 9th and 18th holes were won by Kent Bishop and Jamie Kay respectively. Longest Drives in A, B & C grades were taken out by Craig Clark, Clint Edwards and Glenn Johnson. Closest to the pin for the 3rd shot on the 17th went to Neil Faulks.
Hopefully we will see as many players at Prospect Vale Golf Club (Country Club Casino) on May the 10th. Bosch has come on board with some great prizes for the day. Winning the best MBT GC Member score for the day will get the winner an 18volt 6 piece Bosch kit. A great prize!!!!! Please come along and support the day and a great NEW sponsor.

Llanherne Golf Club put on a fine cloudy day to start, but it ended up being very nice day indeed. The golf course was in fantastic condition (if you stayed on the fairways). The greens were exceptional and congratulations must go out to the club on their presentation. I would also like to thank Dennis and Graeme at the club for being so easy to deal with.
As to the golf, well a few warmed to the challenge and scored well. Others just came for the walk and scenery. Ian Mansfield wasn't there at all and missed out on the Member Jackpot of $200.
A Grade was won by Neil Faulks with 40 points, B Grade by Trevor Johnston with 41 points and C Grade by Gilbert Bantoft with 35 points. The winners list can be viewed on the Llanherne results page or the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy scores for the day.
Our next fixture is Ulverstone Golf Club. Great prizes will be available and a BBQ provided. Please come along and support this day as I know they will welcome a big field and a little extra patronage.

Subject: Continental Cup played at Launceston Golf Club
Many thanks to John Siejka for continuing the tradition started by his father as Continental Builders again hosted the Regional Teams event, the Continental Cup, at Launceston Golf Club.
Congratulations to the North West, taking the trophy with an average score of 29.22 from South on 27.11. Numbers were a little disappointing with the North unable to field enough players to qualify.
The best individual score on the day was Neville Smith with 37 points. Unfortunately for Gil Bantoft, he and his travelling partners left early and he was not there when his name was drawn for the Member Jackpot. This means it will be $200 at Llanherne on 22 March.

Subject: To our Members, Sponsors and regular Visitors,
Thanks for your participation through 2018. We have had good numbers at most events and look forward to making the 2019 season an even better year.
Last Friday was our final round and Devonport Golf Club looked after us very well. Best Golf Club Member score was John Erends with 37 points. Matt Marston had the best score of the day with 38 and won the visitor prize. Check out the website at mbatasgolf.org for the full list of winners.
The 2018 winner of the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy is Selwyn Dalton on 167 points from Sam Vickers on 151 and Neil Faulks on 133. See how you went in the attached result list. How much closer would it have been if Sam had been able to play last Friday?
And speaking of people who didn't get to the last game, Greg Treweek was drawn out for the $400 member jackpot but was not there. Unlucky Treeks! Tony Bennett didn't mind though as he collected $100 in a consolation draw for the last game of the year. Our member jackpot will start again at $100 next year.
2019 will start with a game at Kingston Beach Golf Club in early February. We have not held a day there for a while, so it is a good opportunity to play a different layout.
The Master Builders National Championships are in South Australia in October 2019. Tasmania took a team of 24 to Brisbane in 2018 and would like to increase that number for 2019. We might not have won the event last year (we came 4th) but we did have the biggest group and even out numberer the host State. Don't be the one saying "I'll go if you go", say "Come on, let’s go and have a week of fun"! Have a look at the invitation.
Enjoy your Christmas and may Santa bring you that golf swing you have always wanted.

Good afternoon fellow golfers
Just a bit of news to share with you all. The Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club Team recently competed in the Master Builders Australia Golf Tournament (MR Hornibrook Trophy) in Brisbane Queensland. Our Tasmanian team finished a creditable 4th out of the 7 teams competing. Great job team! As usual it was great to catch up with friends from interstate and also to meet new fellow Master Builders golfers. Also the hospitality provided by the Queensland Master Builders Golf Club fantastic. Best valued tournament in Australia I think!
Next year we are off to South Australia and we will be doing it all again based at the Lakes Resort Hotel. Please see attached flyer or go to www.mbagolf.org/next-tournament.html and scroll down to see all current information available.

Subject: Master Builders Golf Day at Ulverstone on the 20th April 2018
A fine and mild day greeted all players at the picturesque Ulverstone Golf Club (UGC). The day was a joint effort between the Master Builders Tasmania (MBT) and the Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club (MBTGC) and being the first such event most of our planning went well. There appeared to be only one thing we could improve on which we will endeavour to iron out before our next event. A big thank you goes out to Clyde Sharp from the MBT who pulled together some great sponsors for the day and provided some food and refreshment. Thank you to Dial Before You Dig, Becks Home Timber & Hardware and Cbus for their generous sponsorship and we hope their representatives enjoyed their day on the course with our Members. Also thank you to Mark Johnson, General Manager of the Ulverstone Golf Club, for his assistance in arranging this day.
Now to golf. In brief the winners of the Best Ball Team Competition for the day were Peter Johnson, Terry Commane, Darris Burrill and Paul DeGroot. Winning scores for MBTGC Members were A Grade -Terry Commane, B Grade - Trevor Johnston, C Grade – David Walker.

Subject: Master Builders Golf Day at Ulverstone on the 20th April 2018
A fine and mild day greeted all players at the picturesque Ulverstone Golf Club (UGC). The day was a joint effort between the Master Builders Tasmania (MBT) and the Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club (MBTGC) and being the first such event most of our planning went well. There appeared to be only one thing we could improve on which we will endeavour to iron out before our next event. A big thank you goes out to Clyde Sharp from the MBT who pulled together some great sponsors for the day and provided some food and refreshment. Thank you to Dial Before You Dig, Becks Home Timber & Hardware and Cbus for their generous sponsorship and we hope their representatives enjoyed their day on the course with our Members. Also thank you to Mark Johnson, General Manager of the Ulverstone Golf Club, for his assistance in arranging this day.
Now to golf. In brief the winners of the Best Ball Team Competition for the day were Peter Johnson, Terry Commane, Darris Burrill and Paul DeGroot. Winning scores for MBTGC Members were A Grade -Terry Commane, B Grade - Trevor Johnston, C Grade – David Walker. The best overall MBTGC Member score and winning the Eddie French Memorial Trophy was Neil Faulks. Nearest the pins were won by Neil Faulks on the 9th and Dan Smith on the 18th.

A disappointing turn out for the day at Tasmania with only 18 players.
Thanks to Betta Home Living at Rosny Park for assistance with the vouchers as prizes.
The low numbers meant everyone was well fed with the snacks provided by the Golf Club and by the time we got through balls down the line no-one went home without a prize.

Top scores for the day went to two Northern players in Eric Marshall and Steve Button both on 40 points. North finished on an average score (for the best 75% of their players) of 35.857 followed by North West on 33.25 and South on 31.0

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Best wishes to all for the festive season and I look forward to catching up at our first game for 2016 at Orford on 19 February.
Good Golfing.

MBA Golf Day ~ Tasmania Golf Club 25 September 2015
Bunnings came on board as sponsor of the trophies for our event at Tasmania Golf Club. I thank Darren Grainger for his contribution and participation of the Bunnings team in the day.
Best MBAGC member score was yours truly with 39 points. Andrew McConnon from Bunnings had the best score of the day with 40 and won the visitors trophy.
All results from the day and standings in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy can be found on the links attached to the fixtures page.
The Tasmania course was very well presented and the greens have come back very well from recent renovations. Thank you to the staff for looking after us so well.
Our next event is not until 13 November as the National Championships are on in Melbourne in October. 17 members are heading off to represent Tasmania and we are looking to improve on our 4th place in last year's tournament.

The visitors was won by Andrew Lewtas on 41 points while Judy Webster was in a class of her own in the ladies.

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.

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.
The next MBA Golf Club event is at Port Sorell on Friday 4 July. Anyone wanting to play is most welcome.

MBA Golf Club News
Riverside Golf Club 11 April 2014. We had 33 members and 7 visitors at our 3rd event for 2014. The day was hosted by SPT Security and our thanks go to Tim Vimpany and Jason Cochrane from SPT for stepping in with their support at fairly short notice. Thanks also to Tim Cocker from Becks Home Hardware Launceston for providing some of the prizes and to Michael Howard who is the chef at Riverside Golf Club for his donation of after game snacks.
Riverside Golf Course was in fine condition although the greens were a little slow. The rain stayed in southern Tasmania so we only had to contend with cool winds which proved no problem for Tim Vimpany shooting the best score of the day with a fine 41 points. Click here for a full list of results.
Our next outing is at Ulverstone on Thursday 15 May. Remember that guests are welcome so if you want to bring a group along we would be happy to see you there.

MBA Golf Club News
Orford turned on the hospitality and held off the rain for our second game of the year. We had 35 players with 11 of those being visitors. 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.
It is only 3 weeks to our next game at Riverside Golf Club on 11 April. Anyone interested in playing in this or any of our golf days is most welcome. You can get more information on the MBA Golf Club from Roger Stokes on 0407 657178 or have a look at the website at mbagolf.org .

MBA Social Golf Club News
In ideal conditions, twenty two members and 3 visitors enjoyed the first round of the 2014 calendar at Claremont Golf Club on Friday 21 February. The day was sponsored by Steeline Roofing and our thanks go to John Erends for the generous support his company has provided.
The winner of A grade was Tony Wilton with 35 points and runner up was Gary Linton on 33. B grade was a close battle with Bob Barry winning on a countback from Frank Pedler, both on 37 points. In C grade it was a continuation of the Orford onslaught when Michael Kent won with 34 points and David Walker second on 33. The Visitors went to Danny Barrow on a countback from Carl Steedman on 35 points. The nearest the pins were taken out by players in the last group of the day (nothing suspicious there) with Roger Stokes winning the 4th and 11th and Chris Gribble the 6th.
Our next outing is at Orford Golf Club on Friday 21 March. This is always a good day with morning tea and a BBQ lunch provided as part of your entry. Anyone interested in playing in this or any of our golf days is most welcome.

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.
