G’Day everyone

 

Many thanks to Mick Macadams and Peter Lyon who sponsored the November BAMBI and congratulations to the winner, Shane Busing who shot a fantastic 66.

John Rigo and Gary Brocket both had 67 which would normally be a winning score – bad luck gents!!

Klaus Fast won the gross award with a 77 off the bat – well played Klaus!!

Many thanks to Mick Hayes and Brendan Caccamo for arranging the evening BBQ.

 

Next BAMBI is the Annual Xmas BAMBI, to be held on Wednesday the 6^th December 2023. This event will be sponsored by Brian Eames and Murray Brown. Many thanks to these 2 long term supporters of BAMBI and the WGC. It is also the final round of the BAMBI Championships, and the prestigious Consistency Award.

It is proposed to hold the event in the Alfresco Area and there will be a variety of food on offer. The cost to attend this event will be $10 and it is requested that all BAMBI members attend as there will be a number of presentations during the evening.

As tradition dictates, the 2024 committee will be “elected”, with the results announced on the night.

 

BAMBI CHAMPIONSHIPS

The BAMBI championships will be held over 3 rounds – October, November & December. The final results will be a combination of your Best Round in October or November with the December round to count. Past history reveals that despite the leaders being in a comfortable position, anything can happen on the day (and usually does)!! Good luck to all.

BAMBI CALCUTTA

President Tony conducted the annual Calcutta.

Second Place                                                      $1230

Third Place                                                          $740

 

Despite Shane holding a 4 shot advantage over the field, the overall result is still wide open. Historically a score of 143/144 usually results in a monetary return!!!

2023 CONSISTENCY AWARD

Challenge Settlements (Jack Boyle) and Four Wall Investments (Phil Wall) have agreed to sponsor the Consistency Award for 2023. These long standing and extremely well respected members of the golf club & BAMBI, are strong supporters of the club and we appreciate having them onboard for the 2023 season.

The competition is very tight, with any number of players in contention to receive some of Jack & Phil’s “hard earned” – who wants it!!!

BAMBI GOLF @ EL CABALLO

A great day was enjoyed by all – President Tony shot a highly respectable 35 points to win the day, with most struggling on a very tight track.

Many thanks to Tony and Terry for driving the bus to allow the participants to remain hydrated, both before and after the game. The BBQ back at the club was a fantastic way to end the day.

We won’t mention the people who forgot to bring home their keys, hearing aids and GPS, however I am sure the 2024 fines master will remember!!
