29-3-2026: CALDERWOOD GC – STABLEFORD

OUTRIGHT WINNER: JAYDEN MALLIA [23] 40 PTS C/B

Today’s event was played at Calderwood Golf Club which in previous years has been a favorite with the members.

This morning however, we had a disappointing turnout of only 18 players. Maybe the fuel prices and cost of living a starting to bite and people are trying to tighten the belt a little. Let’s hope that our numbers increase a little after the Easter break, to the levels we were getting earlier in the year.

The course had been affected by the storms earlier in the week, and it played longer than usual due to the long fairway grass and heavy and wet rough. The greens were a little slower than usual and finding balls was also a problem.

The outright winner today was Jayden Mallia [23] with 40 pts on a countback from Manny Petris. This is Jayden’s first outright victory and I’m sure I won’t be his last.

A grade was won by Manny Petris [8] with 40 pts

B Grade winner was Steve Vaughn [18] with 38 pts

C Grade winner was Mick McCarney [21] with 36 pts

The Guzzler’s Cup was won by Joy Mesuria [13] with 37pts

The Bradmans today were……………….

A – Michael Kabalan 30pts

B – Mark McSwiney 30pts

C- Roberto Sammarco 21pts

There is no game next week, and I hope that you all have a great Easter Break.

Please note that there are 6 spots still available for the Nelson Bay trip in August. For further details please visit our website and let me know if you would like to attend.

22-3-2026: BARDWELL VALLEY GC-STABLEFORD + FINAL MATCHPLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

2026 MATCHPLAY CHAMPION – BRIAN CRAVEN

In my absence today due to a family commitment, thanks must go to our secretary Santo for the information provided. Apparently, the course was in ok condition, but the greens were a bit slow and finding balls in the longish rough was tough.

The weather was torrential at times, but we managed to finish the round. The young new members are finding their feet and starting to manage scoring and socializing very well.

Some highlights mentioned were that Seb couldn’t stop hitting balls into the houses, Santo hurt his knee, and Steve Floyd went for a muddy slide down a hill.

The outright winner today was Michael Kabalan who played off 14 hcp for an almighty score of 41 points.

The A grade winner was Santo Sammarco [7] with 31 points on countback.

B Grade was won by Joy Mesuria [13] with 35 points on countback

C Grade was won by Brad Kennedy [23] with 33 points

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Jay Krishna [13] with 35 points on countback.

The Bradmans today were………………………….

A – Mark Krause 28 points

B- -Craig Franklin 28 points

The final of the 2026 Single Matchplay Championship was also played today and the combatants were Patrick Collins and Brian Craven. I was told that it was a walkover with Brian defeating Patrick 6 up with 5 holes to play. Congratulations Brian for a well-played championship.

15-3-2026: CABRAMATTA GC - STABLEFORD + MATCHPLAY SEMIS

OUTRIGHT WINNER: SANTO SAMMARCO [8] 39PTS

Today’s event was held at Cabramatta Golf Club, known for its impressive yet demanding course. However, the recent coring of the greens resulted in slower and uneven surfaces, affecting play conditions. Additionally, the rough remained lengthy and wet due to morning dew, making ball retrieval and shots more challenging. Despite these circumstances, several participants submitted commendable scores.

The outright winner was the man of the moment Santo Sammarco. This man has been on the podium all year. Santo’s corrected score was 39 points playing off a handicap off 8. Well done.

The A Grade winner on countback was Mark Krause [8] with the surprising score of 33 points.

B Grade was won by Joy Mesuria [13] with 38 points

C Grade winner was won by won of the club’s Life Members who is playing a few more games with us these days That man is Jeff Hilder [25] and he shot an impressive 37 points.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Mr. Consistent, Dean Heffernan [17] 38 points.

The Bradmans today were……………..

A Grade – Jim Gardner 25pts

B Grade – Cliff Bourquin 27 pts

C Grade – Brad Kennedy 24 pts.

The semi finals of the 2026 Single Matchplay Championship were also played today and the results were………………….

Pat Collin defeated John Varrica – 1 up

Brain Craven defeated Cliff Bourquin – 7&5

The final will now be played at Bardwell Valley GC next weekend. Good luck to both.

1-3-2026: PENRITH GOLF CLUB – 2ND RND MATCHPLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

WINNER: BRAD KENNEDY [26] 43PTS C/B

Today’s event was held at a course that our club has not visited for a few years.

Penrith golf club is quite a long course and a challenge for most players. It was a little tamer today because of the recent wet weather and drizzle this morning which called for a softening of the day’s rules. Preferred lies through the green and bunkers out of play and playing from the social tees, made for an easier task than normal.

This was very evident with the amount of high scores that were submitted.

The Outright winner on a countback was Brad Kennedy [27] with a cintillating score of 43 points. Brad is making a habit of the occasional big score and the handicapper is making a habit of chopping his handicap severely. Another 4 shots gone and now down to 23 hcp.

The A grade winner was unlucky to lose the top gong on countback, but you can’t take away the fact that he had an amazing round. That player was Santo Sammarco [9] who also shot 43 pts for a 2 over round of golf. Mind you he has been sick all week.

The B Grade winner was the man I like to call BP (The quiet achiever). Jay Krishna [15] goes about his business with a minimum off fuss and in the process scored 40 pts. Well done, Jay.

C Grade was won by another sneaky golfer who doesn’t play that much but seams to on the podium when he does. Jason Christie [23] also shot a fine score of 40 pts today.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Jayden Mallia {23] with the score of 37 pts. Jayden is grinding away and we are sure that he won’t be at that handicap for much longer.

The Bradmans were…………………….

A – Mark Krouse 29pts

B – Joy Mesuria 28 pts

C – luke Iacona 19pts.

In the 2026 Matchplay Championship, there were 4 matches played and the results are…….

Pat Collins defeated Mark McSwiney in a play off

John Varrica defeated Joy Mesuria 2&1

Cliff Bourquin defeated Mark McDonald 3&2

Brian Craven defeated Michael Kabalan 2up

Please note that there is a committee meeting tomorrow night at Revesby Workers Club at 8pm. If you want to get there a little earlier, most of the members have a drink in the sports bar prior to the meeting proper.

Thank you and we look forward to the next round in a couple of weeks at Cabramatta Golf Club .

22-2-2026: RND 1 MATCHPLAY CHAMPIONSHIP + STABLEFORD

WINNER: MARK McSWINEY [15] 38 PTS

It’s the start of the first lot of championships for the year, and this week we commenced the Single Matchplay, also known as The Cock of the Walk. This event is contested by the top 16 players from last season and is played over 4 weeks until there is one player remaining.

Today’s round was at the picturesque Links Shell Cove which is always a favourite. The PGA of Australis had played the regional qualifying on the course last week, so the course was in tip top shape. It was also at it’s most dangerous with lightning quick greens and diabolical pin positions. If that wasn’t enough, the strong wind and hot and humid conditions made for a real test of golf.

The outright winner today was Mark McSwiney [15] with the score of 38 points. Fresh from 5 games in 4 days in the Murray region, he must have found some of his form from last year earning him top spot.

The A grade winner was wrongly awarded to Mitch Floyd on a countback for his 36 points, but after being alerted by phone, it was discovered that John Varrica who also shot 36 points had in fact won the countback with his 25 points back nine holes which included three birdies.

The B Grade winner was Dean Heffernan [17] with 33 points on countback. Not much to say about Dean except that when he attends, he is usually on the podium. Well done again.

The C Grade winner is Brayden Harys who is on a bit of a roll at the moment having also won at the last event. Brayden [26] shot 36 points.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Santo Sammarco [9] with 36 points on countback. Santo is also continuing from his victorious week at the Murray River trip which saw him clean everyone up.

The Bradmans were……………………..

A Grade – Manny Petris 29 points

B Grade – Mark McDonald 20pts

C Grade – Peter Macaulay 18 pts

Thank you to Joy and his helpers today for running a great event.

Until next week, keep swinging and keep happy.

8-2-2026: WOOLLOOWARE GC – 2 MAN AMBROSE

WINNERS: BRAYDEN HARYS & JOHN VARRICA 60 NETT

Today’s event was a great deal of fun for all involved. The day started however, with messages of rain flooding through on the group chat early in the morning. Our secretary made the necessary calls to the pro shop and the go ahead for the game was given.

The rain was a light drizzle throughout the round and nobody got too wet. Play started from the first hole and the rules were preferred lies through the green, white markers and 6 tee shots minimum from both team members.

The winners today with a mighty round of even par off the stick for a score of 60 nett, were John Varrica [10] and Brayden Harys [26]. What we witnessed today was an up a coming fine player in Brayden. He is by far the longest hitter in the club and today his drives were not only long (one was measured at 280 metres), but very accurate as well. If he ever gets his short game in order,

Brayden will be a very dangerous golfer. Johnny V was like Pepe Le Piu just quietly tagging on and enjoying the ride. Contrary to popular opinion, Johnny did also contribute a few good shots.

The runners up were Jay Krishna and Dean Heffernan with a nett score of 60.5. Well played fellas.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Santo Sammarco and Phil Heaton with the score of 62. They would have done much better but with Phil still needing to get one shot more in, he put it in the water on the last. They had no choice but to take the penalty and play from there. That cost them the victory, possibly.

The Bradmans today were Steve Vaughn and Troy Young with the score of 71.5.

We have a 2-week break before we travel to Links Shell Cove for the first round of the single matchplay championship. A reminder that only the top 16 available players from the final leaderboard of 2025 are qualified to play. Everyone else will play in the day’s event which will be stableford. Keep an eye out for the booking notification later in the week.

The leaderboard will be published when ready.

Keep smiling and keep swinging,

The Prez.

1-2-2026: INTERNATIONAL CUP + STABLEFORD

2026 INTERNATIONAL CUP CHAMPIONS – TEAM AUSTRALIA

The International Cup is one of the most anticipated events on our calendar. It pits members of Australian origin against those of International origin. The format is matchplay, and this year we had 15 matches to decide the champions for 2026.

Preparations for this match were a little complicated due to the huge numbers wanting to play, managing matches by handicap and managing carts. The groups were sorted earlier in the week and the course rules for the day were preferred lies through the green and from the yellow tees.

Play was completed by 11.30am, an the members and guests were treated to a free BBQ and open bar put on by the social committee. A big thanks to Rossco, Pete M, Pete D, Mick M, Steve F and Bob M, for preparing a great feed for us all.

Joy Mesuria and Mark McSwiney tabulated the results and the presentation was commenced.

Joy announced that for the first time in 4 years, the victorious team was TEAM AUSTRALIA. The Aussies comprehensibly thrashed the Internationals 10.5 pts to 4.5pts. Congratulations to the Aussies on a well deserved victory.

The stableford competition was held in conjunction with the cup, and the results are as follows.
