Beechworth Correctional service

Last Monday, 4 boys from the prison worked on our course and the fifteen fairway looks fantastic along the creek. They also cleaned up around the dam.

Their next project is to lay the pavers at the gateway, followed by building the skillion over the course toilet.

Course

Please put in your diary, working bee on the 22^nd May.

If you have a spare hour, there are always sticks and bark to pick up.

100^th Celebrations

Tickets are now on sale for our Celebration dinner, May 28^th, 6.30pm, Myrtleford Football Club, $50.00 per head. I can not stress enough how important it is for every member to buy 2 tickets and invite other couples. There are over 200 contacts on my email address book, so please support this night.

We have a great guest Speaker in David Schwarz, born in the Ovens Valley, ex AFL player, but more importantly, great advocate for Mental Heath and non gambling. David and Gus Rigoni will be playing golf on our course on the Saturday.

Our Club is on show in our Community, it will not reflect well if we only had 50 guests there.

If you wish to purchase a table of 8, then please purchase 8 tickets and get the money off your friends.

Book tickets through Eventbrite

As our Centennial date is June 22^nd,1922, when we will be having centennial golf events on:

Thursday 9^th June,- Members (Men) vs. Associates(Ladies) -Ebe Schlapp trophy. This event was held in the 60’s and 70’s.

Saturday 11^th June, Dress up in your centennial gear and play stableford, be great to have a shotgun start - Men and Ladies.

A 4 page spread in the Myrtleford Times is in the planning stages.

Tickets are selling slowly!!. Only one male member has purchased a ticket for the dinner, we have 70 male members, if you all purchased 2 tickets, the night would be a roaring success.

This week I have received great photos of Charlie Heather, Marg Rowan, Ian O’May, Gilbert Thompson and Nancy Abbott. From a photo from the Myrtleford museum, I have been able to crop Linda Robertson, Mary Heather and Jim Disher.

I am now chasing photos of Club Champions in both ladies and men - do you have one or know of someone who could help?

Next Centenary meeting, next Tuesday, 2.30 at the Clubhouse, all welcome.

This morning I have just done a radio intervies with 3NE, played this afternoon and next Friday morning, I’m doing on on the ABC.

New Software

Last Saturday and Tuesday, John was showing members how to enter their scores - all were impressed. John is thinking that the entering of scores will take place in the main room, not in the office. Please do practice runs over the next couple of weeks

Ladies Pennant

Great win by the Ladies to reach the finals. They defeated Yarrawonga at Wodonga and final is next Monday. We will be cheering you all the way, lets make it two flags.

Men’s Pennant

Our pennant team the Wannabees are off to the Grand Final, defeating Yarrawonga 3/2 at Beechworth. Great effort from Paul, Brad,Tristan, David and Pieter

Wodonga Bowl

Last Friday, 6 ladies played in the Wodonga Bowl. Carolyn Prowse had best score (33) and Marg Curtis won longest drive for A grade. You have to admire the ladies for travelling to tournaments, I believe they have nearly a 100 coming to their Bowl. Yesterday 4 ladies played in the Benalla bowl.
