RESULTS: XMAS DAY AMBROSE & PRESENTATION FUNCTION 15-12-24.
Today was the last game of the year and our 2024 Presentation Day function.
The venue was Georges River GC for the customary 2 Ball ambrose followed by the presentation lunch at Gsaparo’s.
Georges River GC was a real surprise today. It was probably in the best condition that we’ve seen it in a long time. Fairways were lush and the greens were amazingly good. Play was from the white markers and, preferred lies through the green. Each player in the team must register 6 drives which did bring a few groups undone.
Play got under way at 6:15am and by 11:30, all the groups had finished, and it was time to announce the winners.
Captain Joy Mesuria conducted the presentation, and the outright winners today were the team of Manny Petris & Phil Heaton with the score of 60 nett.
Runners up were Michael Kabalan & Rossco Hamer with the score od 60.5 nett.
The Guzzlers were Mark McSwiney & Pat Collins with 60.75 nett.
The Bradmans today were Phil White & Jayden Mallia on 67 nett.
All of the other winners on the day are pictured below.
With the ambrose preso finished, it was time to open the bar and kick start the party.
As usual, Gasparos didn’t disappoint, and the food and service was amazing.
I’m not going to mention all the award winners as there are too many, but they are pictured in the photos.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the people involved in today’s organising starting with Michael Kabalan for organising the function side of the day, Joy Mesuria for the golf , Mark McSwiney for trophy engraving, Roscco Hamer for the raffle and membership collection and Peter Davis for the innovative fundraising effort which raised quite a bit of money on the day.
Also, a big thanks to all the people that sponsored trophies or donated items to the raffle.
I can honestly say that in my 13 years as president, this year has been one of the best years at the club. We have a great group of people that enjoy each other’s company and are willing to lend a hand whenever it is needed.
I would like to wish all the members and their families and incredible Christmas and a safe and prosperous new year.
