Presidents Report We have our Annual General Meeting on Sunday 31 st at 10am. It would be good to see as many of our members there as possible. The committee has had been very busy this year so come along to find out what has been happening and what may be happening in the future. The club has had a great month with our first Trivia night at the clubhouse with over a hundred people coming along. I would like to thank Adam Jackson for volunteering to run the trivia, it was a great night except, I didn t know many answers not even the golf bracket, and my table wasn t impressed. The Social Committee was very impressed with the turn out. The bar was extra busy throughout the night. Thanks Alan, a great job again. We had a very good Business Challenge Day, having Forty one teams playing 3 Ball Ambrose giving us a total of One Hundred and Twenty Three golfers the most golfer for a number of years on our golf course. The winners were Michael Love, Shaun Maxfield and Ken Anderson, Nathan Maxfield representing Sale City Holden our major Sponsor presented the winners with Jeremy Fleming Jewellers watches, thanks Jeremy. Thanks to Bruce Carter and Mark Durrant for organising, it ran very smoothly. Thanks to Matt Portelli for running the 3 rd hole challenge with Robert Kennedy winner the Voucher.

We had a small working bee finishing off the second rental house painting, laying of pavers in the course men s toilet and cleaning up the area behind kitchen. The Golf Course is in great condition thanks to all the Course staff and volunteers. If you haven t been out for a while come out and have a look, fairway are very good and the greens a running very well. They are continuing to get our bunkers better; as this is one area your questionnaire showed need improving. I would like to thank Greg Meldrum for giving up his time to train us on the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). He explained how it worked and how to use it. We need more Members to get familiar with it. It is in the Clubhouse to help us, hopefully we won t need to use it. Thanks to Greg for the training it was very useful. Our corporate committee continues to get more sponsors. The new tee signs will be installed in about a month, they will give our course a huge lift. If anyone knows a business or wants to sponsor our golf club please contact our corporate committee. We had our first Holden Golf Day during the month with a shotgun start with ninety seven players. Nathan Maxfield from Holden presented the winning prizes. We thank Sale City Holden for their sponsorship; it has helped us bring a few projects forward. The Sale Golf Club Holden Scramble date is now finalised, it is on the Sunday the 20 th September. Get your teams organised they are teams of four playing Ambrose. We had our monthly meeting this week, our last for this committee. We talked about the leasing equipment as compared to buying second-hand; we are following up to see what is best. The Veteran Golfers have donated money to go towards the fixing up the eaves of the club house, thanks vets. The corporate committee is in talks with the Sale Greyhound Club, it look very good for them to become one of our sponsors. The new storage shed for our course equipment will

Pro Report Hello Members and Visitors, During the months of April and May I have conducted the five session long "give golf a go" clinics. We had a total of twenty seven participants which were divided into three groups (Junior, Beginner and Intermediate levels). The five week program included basic fundamentals, short game, full swing, etiquette and finished with us playing some holes out on the course on Sunday. Congratulations to all Participants. There is certainly some golfing talent amongst the groups and I hope to see the Students practicing their new skills on the range and course. A special thank you to Peter Neligan, Pam Schaper, Liz P-C and Helen Wood who volunteered with the organisation and successful implementation of the program. The "give golf a go" program will be run again over the coming Spring. Until then I will be running a clinic every Sunday starting from the 14th June from 10am for those that are new to the game or have completed the recent program. Bookings are essential and can be made via the Pro-Shop prior to each Sunday. Cost is $20 per person per clinic. I will be including a small column in future newsletters which will include teaching updates and tips. Stay tuned! Until next time I look forward to seeing you at Sale Golf Club. Keep swinging, Matt Portelli
