CAPTAIN’s REPORT<br />
Firstly I would like to thank those members of the <strong>Club</strong> who put in so much of their time to run our Representative<br />
Pennant Teams. Neil Slack (Major Pennant), Rob Wood (Masters Pennant), Geoff Bunker (Junior Pennant), George<br />
Tilling (Super Senior Pennant), Michael and Robyn Rolls (Mixed Pennant) and also the Managers of our 3 Encourage<br />
Shield Teams, Brett Cripps, Mark Sullivan and Jackie Parton. Thank you to all the caddies and supporters who went<br />
to those games.<br />
Our Pennant teams performed well again this year, with our Major Pennant side finishing just short of making it<br />
to the finals series. Our Junior Pennant team had a solid season and also missed out on the quarter finals by 1<br />
game. With a majority of the side remaining eligible for the <strong>2011</strong> season <strong>Cronulla</strong> will once again be in contention.<br />
Our Mixed Pennant team was competitive again and both our Masters and Super Senior sides advanced to the<br />
quarter finals.<br />
This winter the employment of a Course Marshal, Roger Woolcock, has proven very successful. It has enabled us<br />
to increase the field on Saturdays and Thursdays during the winter months. I would like to thank all those members<br />
who endeavour to keep play moving.<br />
Congratulations to all our <strong>Club</strong> Champions: A Grade - Rob Wood, A Reserve - Thomas Geraghty, B Grade - Lloyd<br />
Elphick and C Grade Leonard O’Riordan. The Veterans Trophy was won by Rob Wood, Foursomes Championship<br />
by Jye McFarlane & Dean Van Kampen and the Mixed Foursomes by Jillian Convoy & Ben Hodgson.<br />
We have 3 interclub challenges each year with Nowra , Shellcove Links and Woolooware <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong>s. Unfortunately<br />
we lost narrowly to Woolooware at Woolooware and also lost to Shellcove at Shellcove. The Nowra trip is<br />
scheduled for the 19th and 20th August in Nowra. Good luck to those players involved.<br />
The Match committee, after requests from various members have decided that the Foursomes Championship will<br />
be played over 2 weekends to encourage more members to participate in the event.<br />
The <strong>Club</strong> Championship this year is two qualifying rounds of stroke play after which match play will commence.<br />
This year the match play rounds will be played on Saturdays instead of Sundays to try and ease the amount of<br />
disruption to already very busy Sunday Mornings and also to try and encourage more interest within the club and<br />
its members.<br />
The Match committee are currently looking at revising the Singles knockout format. A suggestion to be considered<br />
is going back to the way it was played several years ago.<br />
Finally I would like to thank Colin and his staff in the Pro Shop, Steve Liversidge for volunteering to continue<br />
as handicapper (even though he has great pleasure in taking shots from us all), Greg and the course staff for<br />
continuing to present the course in such good condition in often difficult times, and finally to Jenny, Sue, Kylie and<br />
Kelly for making my job easier.<br />
