03/10/2026 - Woolooware Golf Course - Club Championships - ROUND 1 - Individual Stableford - 5:20am

 28 players teed off on a drizzly overcast morning that required many to get the umbrellas out and/or don their wet weather gear as the rain had been forecast up to 15mm during the day. However by 8:30am the rain had eased to the point where the wet weather gear came off and ten umbrellas were put away although the sky was still overcast.  

The 17th Hole was back in play with the previously seen patchy areas filled with new turf and roped off to protect the new turf from damage by motorized carts or inconsiderate golfers.

The 18th Tee was back in play making the 18th Hole more challenging than in previous months.

The fairways were generally in good condition with a thick covering of grass. The Greens staff have been busy filling the patchy areas that we have seen in previous games with new turf.

The course is much tidier.

The Greens had a good thick cover of grass albeit a bit wet from the recent rain/drizzle that made Putting more challenging.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Sean Hamilton

1st Place:                         Sean Hamilton (38 points)

2nd Place:                        Tim Tillbrook (34 points)

Peter Bull is the first member who over the past 71 years since the Miranda Golf Club was established in 1955 to win the Saturday competition on 50 occasions. Some say that this feat may never be achieved again but we shall have to wait and see.

19/09/2026 - Woolooware Golf Course - Individual Stableford - 5:39am

24 players teed off on a cool morning with clear skies and a slight breeze. The weather forecast was for the temperature to reach 28 degrees and the forecast was 100% correct. 

The fairways were generally in good condition with a thick covering of grass and the patchy areas that we have seen in previous games were filled with new grass.

The course surrounds were well manicured and work has been done to improve the aesthetics of the course. Much of the timber from fallen trees that have accumulated around the course has been cut up and used as borders around the course and the smaller branches and leaves removed. The course is much tidier.

The Greens had a good thick cover of grass in preparation for the Woolooware GC Club Championships later in the month when the greens will undoubtedly be more closely mowed. The length of the grass on the greens made Putting more challenging.

The Guzzlers Cup was won by Tony Bedingfield

1st Place:                         Tony Bedingfield (34 points)  on a count back from J. Werrett

2nd Place:                        Julian Werrett (34 points)

3rd Place:                         Denis Daniels (33 points) on a count back from B.Crebbin & M.Saunders

Pink Ball:                         Moz Huertas (20 points)

The Shot-Gun Start began promptly at 6am. Tee-off was from the Blue tees.

The greens were in good condition but still had dew on them making putting challenging.

The games were played in good spirits and many of the games were very close with CH winning by only 1 shot.

The players from MGC are looking forward to next years challenge where we hope to be more successful and take home the trophy.
