We had a solid team of 8 out of our 12 players who represented during the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mike Robotham, Stephen Hepworth, Steve Whitmore, Mike Harris, Kevin Rule, Larry Bulgin, Richard Tebbutt and Mark Thompson played.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At 9 holes most matches were in our favour with Kevin Rule on fire 5 up. The managers on the day Doc and Rob McDonald had their chests out and strutting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At 15 holes things had changed and Bayview were grinding their way back. Doc reached for the under arm deodorant and a towel to wipe down M McDonald’s face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the next 3 holes the result ended with a win to Mona Vale 4 to 3 1\/2. We had won the Wanner-bee trophy. Winners were Whitmore, Kevin Rule 8 and 6, Mike Harris with squares to Mike Robotham at 1 and a courageous Mark Thompson at 8.<\/p>\n
The dinner and refreshments provided by our hosts Wakehurst were sweet and enjoyed by our 11 attendees.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Long Reef won the event over Cromer who were previously undefeated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Other players who represented MVGC during the year were Rob McDonald, Lance Barnes, Bruce Tait and Doc MacDougal<\/p>\n
Thanks to our manager and sponsor Ross Fleming, admin and proshop support.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We hope to again claim the title next season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
