PARKING
There is designated parking for Club Officials,
if you are not one of those people please do not
park there. Cart people are not to gather around
the concrete strip outside the office with your
carts unless you are collecting beer & drinks
eskies. It has been quite congested in that area
lately so please remember if you are not a
designated official go to the public parking area
or to the cart parking area.
I have received both these little
Buddhas one is for wealth &
happiness & the other for rain!
Together they brought us rain, so
I am passing it onto you to see if
you too can get rain. If you get
the wealth, remember who sent
it, ok!
Whoa be careful what you ask
for! The rain has been tum-
bling down! Heard nothing about
wealth though!

DAMN DAM
It would be quicker to say who didn’t go into the
dams but here we go!
Marilyn went in from the 4th, Bushy went in from
the 3rd, Tony went in from the 9th, Kerry from the
14th. There were others but they were so grouped
it was hard to discern who was in & who was not!
The Johnsons both had a turn on the 5/14th.
I meself went in from the 6th. Why not, nothing
else was happening. Did it again today at Vets too!
John Short went in from the 15th.
Mac Adlam went in from the 4th
The bunkers on the other hand were kind to most
of us!
Les Bennett didn’t get past the ladies on 5.
One of our ladies had some tree trouble….no not
with a tree but with her cart. She run into the tree
near the 2nd tee & couldn’t work out why it
wasn’t moving the cart that is. She soon got the
drift so to speak!
Well people it has finally
happened, grab a mask, wear it
when in the Club House.
That is the rule for now, as we
know, it can change anytime.
Please be Covid aware it is in your best interest as
well as ours, distancing, washing of hands using
sanitiser & registering when you enter the club
house.
Inside and Out
Jan Leader threw a shoe on course. Her sole (soul)
was flapping she said, we hunted around & found
an elastic band & she was back together again! We
had such a lot of fun.
Chris Bush was having a good time with 4 out of
bounds, he did spread it out a bit though. He also
had a good hit from just off the 6th green to the 5th
green…...show off!
I was having a good game too until the 9th when I
got inside the pin shot but it was so close & I didn't
have a flat marker that I thought it be best to
continue on. Lost that one eh! The truth is I didn’t
want to take it from Barb Brian! Yep, yep!
Chris Fenn decided her ball needed a rest so she
gave it a hit & it landed in the back of my cart, how
she managed it we are still at a loss to know!
Kerry Styles wasn’t sure whether to raise ‘em or
lower ‘em! Talking about his pants, he was adjust-
ing his apparel & we thought he was going to drop
his daks! He gave us a cheeky grin & said I will if
you want. No thanks seen one seen them all!
I played with Les, John Short & Peter Hughes at
the Carnival & we had a great time even though the
golf left a lot to be desired. A lot of good shots
went amiss mainly because the grass was to
plentiful owing to the wonderful rain. The men on
the other hand very rarely touched the grass except
to land their ball near the green, some pretty
impressive shots there.
The Carnival was a great success everyone had a
great time it was fantastic to see so many of our
former members there.
There was one incident that was noted by someone
who will not be named. It concerned someone who
had trouble with the cart trailer, it seems this person
forgot to put the ramps up & didn’t notice it till
someone let this person know by phone! We are
still trying to work out how she reversed out of her
parking spot.

GAMES DAYS & STARTING TIMES
PREFERRED LIE - BUNKERS
At the moment there is a preferred lie in the bunkers,
place, not drop, within a card length, the ball must
not be placed forward! Must be back or to the side
no closer to hole! This has been passed as a local
rule by the Match Committee.
The Vets got into the
mess at the back of
the 5/14 green & the
paddock side garden.
A great job it looks
great, thank you to
Greig, Kevin &
Stretch for doing a
good job of planting
& mulching the
gardens
The Vets tended to the Geoff Macklin gardens at
the back & side of the 5/14th green. It was mulched
& some lovely desert roses were planted. It looks
lovely. Kevin said he felt a chill during the planting,
he was told of Geoff’s funeral later & Kev said I
think he had approved of the work. Nice work men!
There are people who are members of our club who
do things, little things that we don’t see, but none-
theless they are doing stuff not wanting accolades
just getting it done. I happened to see one such
person on a Sunday who had emptied the bins on
the verandah, his name is Greig Pullinger, it’s not a
biggy I know, but he did a service. Another is John
Horwood who is taking our bottles & cans to the
depot, without any big deal. In my book they are the
spine of the club. No fuss just get in there & do it!
Thanks fellas!
Ian Anderson, ‘Stretch’ for the uninitiated has been
making sure the gardens have been watered, the
desert roses have come up a treat. Nice job Stretch!
AFTER
BEFORE It is still out there people so be careful in your
distancing & use of sanitiser at all times. Log in at
the Club House & no handshaking. We have
become a bit complacent of late so we need to
revisit the rules once more. 1.5metre distancing, &
no crowding at the bar. We have done well so far
so lets not blot our copybook!
I saw something that was pretty unsettling on a
Vets day recently. I could hardly believe my eyes
when there he was driving Tony Borg’s cart. Yes,
it was Ray Suter! I asked Tony what had possessed
him & he replied I don’t know but it won’t happen
again!
These boys were happy with their win, it didn’t have to be a first place. Captain Andrew said they
needed an extra in their team to pull off the first place, he said he was volunteering, too late they
cried! The boys were happy with a second!
Greig wanted this photo to
send to Tex!
Could there be a reason?
Most definitely!
SOAP BOX - YOUR OPINIONS
Whilst on the subject of thank you’s some get more than others and I would like to
mention some of the others that do a great job with no accolades what so ever.
Namely; Ian Brady, Kevin Bird & John Short who are out there mowing, watering &
doing whatever else is needed. Then there is Andy Pearce and Dennis Miller who have
been doing the pin shot holes & tees for such a long time, no one knows of these people
but they should, because they are doing a great job with no thanks at all. There are
many more too like Stretch, Kevin & Greig who just come in & do what is necessary without a
fuss. John Horwood is another who goes about cleaning up getting rid of bottles and cans as well
as Craig who helps out 2 days a week. So remember there are many people who make this Club
such a success.
So that is my opinion…...what is yours?
These two young men were once our little juniors some years
ago. Jack Day & Dylan Beusel Now they are all growed up! Jack
is turning pro next year & Dylan has a family. It was so great to
see them at our Carnival.
BURRUM MIXED CARNIVAL Sponsored by HERVEY BAY GOLF DRIVING RANGE
Wow what a great day had by all at the Carnival. We had the pleasure of
having Howard Smith the Wide Bay Secretary there as well as other
forward thinkers of the community. It was so good to see so many of our
ex players there too & for me the highlight of the day was to see two of our
juniors turn up now all grown up & in the case of Dylan Beusel he is a
regular skyscraper! Jack Day was there also, he is turning professional next
year. So proud of both those boys or should I say men! Both Dylan & Jack
said to me the last time we were here we couldn’t drink! Also there were Merv Howells & Allan
McGeorge who were long standing members of old, steady on not too old now! Len Stallard, John Knight,
sorry if I have missed any out, it was a great friendly crowd! The above picture is of the huge TV in the
club house. Many thanks to Neil on getting the grant for it & the glass washer which will be installed as
soon as it arrives.
Dylan & Jack, & in the corner outside the window, is Merv
Howells. Both he & Alan had to abandon the cart after some
trouble but they stayed around for the end. Always a stayer
the pair of them. They used to look good in pink too just a
little dress up & a dare! We have missed you.
There is one sad note we are losing Ray Maskell to Macleay
Island in a couple of weeks. Not sure if we should be happy
or sad. No, we are happy! Best of luck to you & yours.

HOW TO RUN A COUNTRY GOLF CLUB
1. Don’t come to the committee meeting, but, if you do come, come late. If the weather doesn’t
suit you, don’t even think of coming.
2. If you do attend a meeting, find fault with the committee and other members.
3. Another good plan is to talk loudly to your friends whilst the chairman is speaking. This
helps him and stimulates his thoughts.
4. Never accept an office, as it is easier to criticise than to do things.
5. Nevertheless get sore if you are not appointed on the committee but if you are, attend the
meetings very rarely.
6. If asked by the chairman to give your opinion regarding some important matter, tell him you
have nothing to say.
7. After the meeting tell everyone how things ought to be done.
8. Do nothing more than absolutely necessary, but when other members roll their sleeves up
and do everything in their power to help things along howl that the club is run by a clique.
9. Hold back your subscription or better still don’t pay it at all.
10. Don’t trouble about getting newcomers to join the club, let the secretary do it, he does
bugger-all & has plenty of time.
WORKING BEE AT GARDEN
NEAR CLUB HOUSE
The following people cleaned up
the garden beds around the club
house, Ian aka Stretch Anderson,
Kevin Leader & Greig Pullinger,
they weeded mulched & cleaned
up in general it sure has spruced
the area up. A new garden bed has
been made at the back of the club
house too. Rae McCliskie also
donated some plants too.
Very nice job, thank you.
