CHAIRMAN’S <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

<strong>2011</strong> was a very successful year<br />

The MCC <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong> continued to grow with another 34 new members joining during<br />

the year. The numbers of players at our golf days was again down on the halcyon<br />

years of 2007 and 2008 but in <strong>2011</strong>the numbers of players generally were greater<br />

than 2010. Members definitely prefer to play the prestigious sandbelt courses despite<br />

the more expensive green fees because the attendances at those courses were<br />

greater when compared to previous years. During the year 2 courses, namely 13 th<br />

Beach and Kew were added to the calendar again after an absence of some years to<br />

provide some variation for our members.<br />

The club was very competently served by the Committee, and I would like to thank<br />

our Captain, Pat Considine, our Secretary/Treasurer, John Webster, Assistant<br />

Secretary/Treasurer, Carol Bates and Committee members Peter Evans and Val<br />

Mitchell. The liaison staff at the MCC, especially Phoebe McWilliams, were outstanding<br />

in their efforts in helping arranging dinners in the Hans Ebeling Room during the<br />

cricket and football seasons.<br />

Peter Mitchell, our liaison man from the MCC General Committee, again provided<br />

invaluable input into the affairs of the <strong>Section</strong> and assistance in ensuring the <strong>Golf</strong><br />

<strong>Section</strong> was able to promote golf as an integral part of the sporting culture of the<br />

<strong>Melbourne</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. Peter retired from the MCC General Committee in June <strong>2011</strong><br />

and we thank Peter for his valuable contribution to the <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong>. The <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong><br />

arranged for all Sporting <strong>Section</strong>s to contribute to a retirement present of a set of<br />

Callaway golf clubs for Peter with the <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong> contributing over half of the<br />

amount.<br />

The <strong>Club</strong> Championships were again held at Commonwealth <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. The Men’s<br />

Champion for <strong>2011</strong> was Geoff Cosgriff who played off a handicap of 19 with a score of<br />

34 stableford points. It was two years in a row that Geoff has won the event and third<br />

time overall. The Women’s event was won by Hana Kadera who won the day with a<br />

score of 37 points. Hana’s victory was well earned considering that she had left her<br />

handbag in a coffee shop in Hampton and had to be cajoled into playing because she<br />

wanted to go back to retrieve her bag. Arrangements were made for the bag to be<br />

picked later in the day.<br />

The Hong Kong <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> Society visited us in Jan/Feb and played in golf days<br />

at Yarra Yarra, The National, Keysborough and Long Island and played an official<br />

match at Victoria which MCC <strong>Golf</strong> won comfortably 6 matches to 2 with one match<br />

drawn.<br />

The <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong> also had a team visit the Hong Kong <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Golf</strong> Society to help<br />

celebrate the <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s 160 th anniversary and we are looking forward to their<br />

return visit in November 2012.<br />

SECRETARY’S <strong>REPORT</strong><br />

The MCC <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong> has completed another very successful and player numbers<br />

were up on the 2010 year. All up we had 15 golf days for the year which included the<br />

special extra day at Yarra Yarra for the Hong Kong players visit and the official match<br />

between the two teams at Victoria.<br />

The <strong>Section</strong> has relied on subscriptions from new members at $55 per new member<br />

and, for the first time, an annual renewal subscription of $40 was levied on members to<br />

trade profitably. There were 34 new members who joined throughout the year and 288<br />

members out of a database list of 647 who paid the initial $40 renewal subscription<br />

making a total of 322 financial members. With <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong>s forever increasing their green<br />

fees and catering charges it is a constant battle to obtain reasonable rates for our<br />

members. <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong>s are used to dealing with corporate days where large Companies<br />

just pay the asking price. However, we are in constant negotiations to treat the MCC<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong> as a social group akin to the Veteran <strong>Golf</strong>ers group which seem to be able<br />

to obtain very cheap fees.<br />

The year was also marked by the several social events the <strong>Section</strong> arranged in the<br />

Hans Ebeling Room in conjunction with other Sporting <strong>Section</strong>s for football and cricket<br />

matches.<br />

The finances of the <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong> are in a very sound position with cash in the bank at<br />

31 st December <strong>2011</strong> of $36,442 and stocks of balls and prizes totalling $5,143 and<br />

outstanding invoices of $9,552.<br />

In April a group of 31 visited Hong Kong <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Club</strong> to help celebrate their 160 th<br />

anniversary and a number of golf games were arranged in Hong Kong and China in<br />

addition to the official match which was drawn at 3 matches each and one halved<br />

match.<br />

A few of the MCC <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong> members also added a few days to the visit to go and<br />

play golf at the Mission Hills complex.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> day at The National on Tues 1 st Feb<br />

38 players played the Ocean Course at The National <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong> with 17 Hong Kong golfers.<br />

Again the weather was kind except for the wind which made playing conditions a bit tough.<br />

The usual National muster menu was enjoyed after the game and there was much<br />

conviviality on the bus on the way home from the National to the player’s hotel in<br />

Southbank.<br />

Official Match at Victoria <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong> on Weds 2 nd Feb<br />

Two teams of 18 competed in a shotgun start in fine weather conditions and the MCC team<br />

won 6 matches to 2 with one match halved. A few after golf drinks were enjoyed by the<br />

early finishers prior to proceeding to the MCG for the official tour dinner in the MCC<br />

Committee Room.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Day at Keysborough on Thurs 3 rd Feb<br />

This day was arranged by the HKCCGS and was attended by 5 MCC <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong><br />

members one of whom donated some bottles of wine as prizes for the day.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> day at Long Island on Friday 4 th February<br />

This day was the last golf function with our visitors from HK and 58 players enjoyed the<br />

Long Island Country <strong>Club</strong> layout. The weather was very kind to us while <strong>Melbourne</strong> was<br />

being drenched with tropical down pours which saw play suspended at the Australian<br />

Women’s Open at Commonwealth all our players except about 6 finished before lightning<br />

forced them off the course. Our visitors supplied the prizes for this day and nearly every<br />

player ended up with a prize of some sort.<br />

Asked over dinner to rate the courses that they had played on the President of the HKCC,<br />

Tony Melloy, who played in every golf game during the week rated Yarra Yarra as the best<br />

followed in order by Long Island, Victoria and The National. He thought the National Ocean<br />

course was too hard for hacker golfers, as he called himself, even though he plays to a<br />

handicap of 2.<br />

A couple of the HK players returned early to <strong>Melbourne</strong> to play in a social squash match<br />

and about 30 minutes after leaving phoned in to say they were delayed by flooded roads.<br />

Those of us still at Long Island thought they were joking but soon discovered they were not<br />

as we journeyed back the city.<br />

Unfortunately in the race from the clubhouse to the carpark in the wind and torrential rain to<br />

get to our car the result sheet was blown/washed away never to be seen again.<br />

The road home was flooded at the back of Mordialloc and Braeside and traffic was diverted<br />

to Nepean Highway.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> day at Royal <strong>Melbourne</strong> on Monday 4 th April<br />

The <strong>Golf</strong> day at Royal <strong>Melbourne</strong> was played in ideal conditions and 5 players broke or equalled<br />

their handicaps. The West course was in excellent condition although the greens were still a bit<br />

thin in condition given that the Presidents Cup was being played on 12 of the West course holes in<br />

Nov 2012. A record 132 players turned out for the day. However the day took far too long to play<br />

and in future field will be limited to 112 players. Royal <strong>Melbourne</strong> treated the players to a<br />

sumptuous meal after golf to cap off a brilliant day at one of <strong>Melbourne</strong>’s best golfing venues.<br />

The results of the competitions on the day were:<br />

Winner A Grade John Fanning (7) 36 points (countback)<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> day at 13 th Beach on Friday 26 th August<br />

Only 37 players entered at 13 th Beach despite the cheap green fee rates available to MCC<br />

members. It was decided that would be only one individual competition given the very poor<br />

numbers for this event. The course was in excellent condition weather about 22 degrees, rain<br />

threatening but umbrellas required only for the last two holes. The food after golf was excellent and<br />

very much enjoyed by the small group who played.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Day at Peninsula on Monday 19 th September<br />

A beautiful spring day greeted 64 players at Peninsula for our day on the Peninsula South course.<br />

The meal in the clubhouse afterwards was very enjoyable despite the table arrangement not being<br />

arranged in tables of 8 as requested. The highlight of the day was a Hole in one on the par 3 14 th<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Day at Commonwealth <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong> on Monday 10 th October<br />

Commonwealth <strong>Golf</strong> club was again the venue for the playing of the <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Section</strong>’s <strong>Club</strong><br />

Championship with 26 men and 9 women qualifying to play in the event by winning one of the golf<br />

days or grades in the case of the men. Eighty two players took part in the golf day and the men’s<br />

<strong>Club</strong> Championship event was won by Geoff Cosgriff for the third time and the women’s champion<br />

was Hana Kadera. Hana’s win was even more meritorious given that she had to be talked into<br />

playing, having left her handbag in a coffee shop in Hampton and was very anxious to pull out of<br />

the day and go back and get her bag. Arrangements were hastily made to collect her bag later that<br />

day or the next day so that she could take her place in the field. Hana also won the women’s event<br />

on the day beating all the qualifiers and non-qualifiers..<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> Day at Gisborne on Friday 11 th November<br />

Gisborne <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong> was the venue for our last traditional individual stableford and 4 Ball Better Ball event<br />

for the year and 64 players turned out for the event in glorious spring weather. The lunch and dinner<br />

afterwards were both excellent with dinner comprising a comprehensive 3 course menu with steaks,<br />

seafood and other meats in plentiful supply. The Gisborne <strong>Golf</strong> <strong>Club</strong> catering put on a splendid meal.<br />

The day was sponsored again by our MCC <strong>Golf</strong> Captain Pat Considine and Peter O’Connor but<br />

unfortunately, (fortunately for Pat), the $1000 voucher for an eagle on the short par 5 13 th hole did not<br />

eventuate this year and there were no birdies on the hole. All the women received a beauty pack<br />

compliments of Peter O’Connor and Peter provided a women’s only prize for one of the nearest the pins.<br />

<strong>Golf</strong> day at The Dunes on Friday 2 nd December<br />

There were 55 players at The Dunes with a brilliant day weather wise, temperature about 28° with<br />

just a gentle breeze at the start but getting stronger as the day progressed. The course was in its<br />

usual tip top condition and the food at the barbecue dinner afterwards was excellent as was the<br />

service from the golf and catering staff. All up a fantastic day was enjoyed by the players at our<br />
