3 Person Ambrose Event

On Sunday October 14th we had a full field of 84

players contest our 3 Person Ambrose Event at

Jubilee, all vying for a host of great prizes and that

elusive $10 000 hole-in-one that was on offer. The

sun was shining and, as usual the course was

presented beautifully by our ground staff and their

team of volunteers. A special mention to Simon for

the extra duties that he carried out without any fuss.

Our club raised close to $3,500, which will help

off-set the cost of our recently purchased fertilizer.

A special thanks to the following gentlemen who

gave up their day, and a chance to participate in the

tournament, to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Alan Bell and Kevin Elliott spent several hours

manning the BBQ and assisting in the kitchen,

whilst Lawrie Godfrey, Kevin O’Shea and Simon

Godfrey ensured nobody went thirsty. Up on the

13th hole Alan Sands, Brian Luxford and Rob

Lowe kept a close eye on the $10 000 hole-in-one

proceedings and provided some additional

entertainment for the punters in our field.

Thanks to Ash Neave, Bill O’Brien, Alan White

and Fraser Jeffery for their support and to all those

who helped in the kitchen.

Not only did we feast on Alan & Kevin’s sausages

but, thanks to the generosity of Brian Luxford and

Jim D’Arcy, we also enjoyed delicious pulled pork

rolls with coleslaw for lunch.

Congratulations to Steve Gulbin for scoring a hole-

in-one on the day but, unfortunately it was on the

4th hole and not the 13th!

businesses who provided a wide range of

magnificent prizes (see attached list of sponsors).

Board Nominations

Nominations for now invited for the 2018/2019

Jubilee Golf Club Board. Nomination forms will be

available in the clubhouse. Think seriously about

whether you can contribute in a more active way at

Jubilee Golf Club.

Community Raffle 250 books were handed out.

Only 150 books have been returned so far

It is now getting very close to when all raffle books

should be returned. The co-ordinator has to collate

all the books and organise the money before

handing everything on to the organising group.

So if your book is still at home (at the office, in the

car, etc etc.) return it to the Proshop as soon as

possible. 110 books still need to be returned.

100 outstanding books means a lot of emails, phone

calls and time spent trying to get them returned on

time.

Last year Jubilee GC was the organisation which

sold the most tickets and we also won some

significant prizes. Let’s hope that happens again.

Urgent attention required.

10 best Caddy Replies: If it's important for caddies to be honest in their

expressions to help the golfer for whom they are

caddying, then this guy is good at his job.

# 10 -- Golfer: "Think I'm going to drown myself in

the lake."

Caddy: "Think you can keep your head down that

long?"

# 9 -- Golfer: "I'd move heaven and earth to break

100 on this course."

Caddy: "Try heaven, you've already moved most of

the earth."

# 8 -- Golfer: "Do you think my game is

improving?"

Caddy: "Yes sir, you miss the ball much closer

now."

# 7 -- Golfer: "Do you think I can get there with a 5

iron?"

Caddy: "Eventually."

# 6 -- Golfer: "You've got to be the worst caddy in

the world."

Caddy: "I don't think so sir. That would be too

much of a coincidence."
