“Activities”

President's Piece - June G’day Redcappers, To say that Pat and I had a great holiday would be an understatement. Over the past 7 weeks, we have sampled the grandeur of Dubai, the fun and beauty of Ireland, the rugged magnificence of bonnie Scotland, the gorgeous green countryside of England and its intriguing historical buildings, built hundreds of years ago, and still standing. I have crossed off a couple of bucket list items off my list – playing golf in Scotland, and flying like a bird on a zipline in Cornwall, England. There were aspects of the trip that were exhausting; the long flights, driving on strange roads with traffic going past at a furi-ous pace, lugging suitcases up flights of stairs, even the co-ordination of various modes of transport to unfamiliar destina-tions – takes a toll on stamina. Fortunately, there’s a pub on every corner and a couple along the blocks, so a pick-me-up is always available, and welcome. It’s great to do these trips, but gee, it’s great to be home, family, friends, neighbours and the dog are what it’s all about. Those things hit home when you realise that in those few weeks, we have lost one of our number, Pete Fletcher and we lost a neighbour at 72. He’d been deteriorating for a while, but it’s sad when they go. So I’ll be happy to get back to golf to make sure you old blokes are all OK, and still enjoying things, playing’ golf. Huge thanks to Peter for filling in during my absence, and Banksy did a bit too! Stay warm, Hendo

Interesting Golf Facts Golf Was Played on The Moon

Golf is one of the two only sports to be played on the moon. On February 6, 1967 Alan Bartlett “Al” Shepard, Jr. performed a one-handed swing with a six-iron, sending the ball flying through the moon’s low-gravity atmos-phere. And in case you were wondering, javelin is the other sport that was reportedly played on the moon.

It’s a Good Workout!

Golf is an excellent workout that burns calories while promoting greater muscle mass. According to the health and fitness website ShapeFit.com, a typical 190-pound golfer will burn 431 calories per hour — assuming he or she is walking across the course instead of riding a golf cart.

Tuesday June 18th The Kookaburras conducted a Go Pink Charity Day during June. 45 golfers took place which included 35 Ladies and 10 Gents (7 from Red Caps). It was a 4 ball best ball event with the winners re-ceiving a bottle of Champagne (Peter Denier, Kaye Tankard, Leah and Vicki were the winners) The conditions were bleak early on, however, the weather improved and we were able to complete our round. The ladies provided a very good luncheon which included Sandwiches, Savoury Slices, Cakes and Chocolates. They also had a trivia competition and conducted raffles. The amount raised was just over $2,200.00 which was a great result. It was a terrific day and we have been invited back for next year. The Ladies should be congratulated for a fun day.

Safety and Consideration for Others Safety and consideration are commonsense, but take note of the following: ~ Before playing a stroke or taking a practice swing, always ensure that no-one is in your line of play or near your swing path. ~ If your ball is headed towards someone else, shout “FORE”, golf’s universal warning, as loudly as possible. ~ When grounds staff are working ahead, wait until they acknowledge your intentions before hitting towards them. ~ Try not to move, talk or create any disturbance or noise while another person is about to play. ~ Ensure mobile phones or pagers are turned off, or on silent. ~ Do not stand close to or directly behind the ball, or directly behind the hole, when a player is about to play. ~ Be careful not to stand on or damage other players’ lines of putt and that your shadow does not dis-tract others. ~ Remain near the putting green until all players in your group have holed out, unless your group is a long way behind the group in front. ~ In stroke play, confirm the score of the player for whom you are marking on the way to the next tee.

Contributions raised for various charities YTD total over $1,050.00
