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.

Secretary.

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.
