May 2003
WELCOME to NEIL WINTERTON'S PRESIDENT'S DAY - the day heralds the beginning
of the end of another enjoyable year - with the president himself choreographing
a good slab of the proceedings. A Lizard year includes a dozen Donor
driven monthly events, as well as an array of 13 or more competitions for
the perennial spit, polish and engraved trophies, some entailing travel
to Port Macquarie, Jamberoo, Calderwood, Mangrove Mountain and where ever.
At this late stage there are still 5 annual trophies up for grabs
and the AGM is taking shape on the drawing board.
The AGM is set down for Tue. 1 July at the DY RSL - more details as they
come to light.
POSTIE DAY, with 15 members and 2 visitors, produced the following results:
LIZARDS 1st Jim Small 44 points off 16 handicap
LIZARDS 2nd Michael Harrison 42 points off 7 handicap

LM
BRADMAN Lizards Colin Lacey 30 points off 21 handicap
Visitors John Surplice 35 points off 10 handicap
JIM SMALL, one of the top 4 for attendance and keenness on the field, bagged
his 3rd win in exactly 4 years! - so don't be too dejected if you have not
scooped the pool in the past 12 months.
MICHAEL HARRISON (7), who was not tipped to beat Garry Bird LM (22) as
he would have to par the course to have a chance, fired a round of 1 over
the card while Garry finished 2 over his handicap, which left too much space
for Michael to score on the right holes in the Lindenberg. Well played
Michael.
JOHN SURPLICE (10) was pleased with his 35 points and visitors prize,
however, with only 2 visitors competing, John had to don the Bradmans hat
for the rest of the day.
FINES, some were:
John Surplice & spending the morning telling
each other about their holes in one
Garry Bird
Michael Harrison & inviting a visitor and making him drive them
to Lizards
