Rubys Golf Society

2018 was an excellent year for us with 50 or so assorted fun and trophy games, and culminating with our Christmas dinner held at Stan and Ollie's which was attended by 54 members and their partners.

Presentation of the player of the year awards were given out during the evening with Theresa Wright being the runner up and "keeping it in the family", husband Nigel taking the top spot.

In addition our next player of the year trophy games do not commence until March. We are continuing to play competitive games every Friday.

The year started at Vistabella on the January 3 with Alex Bolten coming out on top with an excellent 40 points and an immediate handicap cut. Our next game was at the always-good Alenda, which was won by Martin Collins. The weather continued to be kind to us. Vice-Captain Dave Johnson won our next game at Altorreal.

A fun game of Texas scramble followed at Roda with the winning team of Captain George Marshall Dean, Dave Johnson,Helen Bailey and Theresa Wright taking the honours in this one. Altorreal followed, and with a very good score of 38 points, Ray Batey won this fixture.

With a variety of winners and some excellent scores so far, this year’s trophy games are looking to be very competitive.

We travel to Bonalba for our next fixture today February 15, anyone wishing to play a game with us should email
