Well that eager young filly from the Haines stable has done it again!  This time she headed over to a very unfamiliar track at Magenta Shores.  With a hurricane blowing and  bunkers galore she passed the post  1st. She is the Champion of Champions winner for 2016 in Division 2, with a gross score of 107 off a handicap of 29.   A very impressive performance Monica, congratulations.  Another winner on the day was Anne Glance although she did represent Shelly Beach today but we won't hold that against her.  Anne is the Veterans Champ Div 2 for 2016 with a gross score of 109 off a handicap of 25, well done Anne.  Sally Hopkins and Moya Allen  won a ball each.    The Champ Monica.    Vets Champ Anne Glance.

Medal of Medals - Finish of continuous comp. 27 October 2016

The Spring Carnival continued yesterday with the best of the best competing for the Medal of Medals. This being the final round in the continuous competition for 2016 there was a big field to follow the champions including young, frisky fillies, a good field of more mature fillies complete with a few wiley old mares which can never be ruled out going by their vast experience and recent form. What a field, all biting at the bit, ready to jump out of the barriers. The eager young filly from the Haines stable didn't disappoint galloping in with her best win ever 89 off the hoof and a runaway winner in the nett stakes with 63. This great ride means the filly from the Haines stable has taken out the 2016 Medal of Medals for Breakers. Watch this space - this filly from the Haines stable is really going places! She has both the talent and the desire to achieve her goals. The investors will come running when she is put out to pasture! Her next, and final event for the Spring Carnival wil

STABLEFORD SHOOTOUT 26th October.

Image
Melbourne has its Melbourne Cup, Terrigal has its prestigious Annual Stableford Shootout! Today was the day, a brilliant starting field saw ten well bred fillies exhibit their individual significant talents. Excitement was in the air as the field was led out by the tiny blonde filly from the Muna stable closely followed by the strawberry blonde filly from the Ball stable, then came the very calm filly from the Ingle stable, the Carey-Berryman stable was well represented with their capable filly as was the Jackson stable, though the rumour was that there may be some problem with this filly's leg not that it has been evident by her recent form. Moving down the field came the very talented filly from the Adlard stable closely followed by the eager, young filly representing the Haines stable - don't rule this one out! What a field with three more quality fillies representing the Harrigan, Armbruster and Glance stables. The race for the coveted honour of Top Filly was off! A min

Stabaleford 19 October 2016

There were 48 lady golfers entered in today's competition. Conditions were perfect for golf - great course with fairways allowing lots of run, ideal weather conditions and enthusiastic competitors. The scores were amazing! 16 balls were awarded to players who scored from 41 down to 35 on a count back! Fantastic results!!! Nancy Chilman and Colleen Henry are wondering just what they have to do to win their Divisions after scoring 40 and 39 respectively today only to be pipped by Barbara Holt who scored 41 points in Division 3 and Min Corner who scored 40 points in Division 2! Jill Lavery, Min Corner and Barbara Holt were winners last week ... when you are hot there is no stopping you! Results were as follows Division 1.   Winner.  Jill Lavery (26) with 37 points                      2nd.       Kerrie McInerney (19) with 34 points Division 2.   Winner.  Min Corner (31) with 40 points                      2nd.       Colleen Henry (28) with 39 points Division 3.   Winner.  

Stableford - Shotgun start - AGM 13 October 2016

What a shock our second Shot gun start in the first two weeks of daylight saving time saw lots of the golfers freezing cold and half asleep. It was worth the early start to have plenty of time to finish the day's event before our Annual General Meeting. It's over for another year - amazing how the time has flown since the last one. It was great to see our new members winning prizes. Congratulations Jill Lavery and Michelle Hughes. Again we were all disgraced by Min Corner who keeps on playing her style of consistent golf to win Division 2 once more, proving that age is no excuse! Min's advice to us all is to keep your head down and watch the back of the ball. Secret is out now Min - maybe we can give you some competition! Division 1.  Winner.   Nareda Leary (26) with a score of 36 points                     2nd.         Jill Lavery (27) with 35 points Division 2.  Winner.   Min Corner (31) with a score of 34 on a count back                      2nd.        Elaine Cl

4BBB District Final. Guess who's off to Bonville!!!

Image
Today saw the District qualifiers for the 4BBB Par event compete at Shelly Beach with the first and second winners qualifying for the State Final at Bonville in late November. The course was beautiful, the whale watching was awesome, the wind and heat were fierce! The latter three made for some very trying conditions to compete against. However, it wasn't the home teams from Shelly that came away with these two prizes of a three night, four day all expenses paid trip to Bonville for the two winning teams! The winners with +9 from Morisset were Sheree Bamback and Gillian Mitchell and the second place getters with +7 were none other than MON and SHAZZA from Breakers!!! Our other team of Charmaine and Deanne came in with +5 in 5th position. So a great day for Breakers but an incredible day for Monica Haines and Sharon Harper. So competitive is our Mon that she had the Bonville dates entered in her diary months ago! Well done to the both of you and our very best wishes for an ama

Pink Day - Team of 4 - 2 Scores to count - 6 October 2016

What a day!! Nicky and Chas were greeted with a sea of enthusiastic 'pink ladies', 53 in all, to take part in today's special Fundraiser for Cancer day organised by them. A great day of high scores, assisted by Nicky hitting drives off the 1st and 10th for those who paid for the privilege and the course being in amazing condition. Perhaps it was the extra strength provided by the delicious quiche or that mulligan that made the difference! Kerry Moore showed her golfing prowess by outscoring everyone with a 5 pointer on the 1st, or was it the 10th. Will you be paying Nicky every week Kerry? And then there was the raffle. Jan Hoban was the lucky winner of the set of golf clubs, with the ever lucky Bev Milson winning the round of golf for two with a cart at Horizons. Congratulations to you both. Thanks Nicky and Chas for all the effort involved in organising another fun, successful Pink Day. The day raised over $1600 to assist those suffering from Cancer. Thank you also to

Pink Day, Thursday 6 October. Shot gun start 7 for 7 30

Can you believe it - a whole year has passed since this day last year when Annette McInnes won herself a brand new set of golf clubs! This day is our annual fundraiser for Cancer day. $20 is the cost for the day, this will include your golf plus breakfast/morning tea. The day's event will be a team of 4 with the best 2 scores to count. Come dressed in Pink to get your team in the mood to win. Bring along a $2 coin and Nicky will hit your drive off the tee on the 1st hole. Again this year the main raffle prize will be the very special Wilson Hope Complete set of golf clubs. Tickets will be $5 each or 3 for $10. You've got to be in it to win it! There will be no tea/coffee station so you can purchase tea and coffee from the Deck cafe. Here's to making a great contribution to this day in order that we can make a sizeable donation to assist in making someone's suffering a little more bearable. See you in the pink on Thursday!
