Port Macquarie Women Vets
Welcome ladies to June 2023 update
Well, the golfing year is flying by, halfway already!
Gala Day
May saw our Gala day/s of two consecutive 9 hole Stableford events take place.
The weather was kind to us and there were no delays unlike last year. Our overall winner for the 18 holes was Anne Denton and our Super Vet winner was Kay Swift. Congratulations to all winners and the players!
I would like to thank the sponsors for their continued generous support,
Nick Ratcliffe from Hastings Physiotherapy, Caramels at Cathie, Sea Salt Restaurant, Lakeside Fashion, Yvonne Heslin, Inside Out at Lighthouse, and Blossom Hair Salon.
Charity Day
Our celebration in July which incorporates our charity fundraiser is on July 4th in the Seabreeze room where we traditionally support the Hastings Palliative Care Program.
There will be a two-course menu of a main and dessert – alternate drop – with tea, coffee, juice and wine. The cost is $30/head. Your fees and raffle monies go towards subsidising this and other events throughout the year. There will be raffles and a luck door prize as well.
It is a lovely day to get together and enjoy each other’s company over a meal in a relaxing environment.
You will need to book your name on the sheet in the Locker room and give your money to Denise Latif our Treasurer or to any member of the committee.
We will have a fun game of 3 clubs and a putter, and following the game the presentation will take place in the Seabreeze room before we commence our Lunch.
Women Vets Shirts
We will be showcasing a choice of two shirts for you see and appraise before you place your vote at our Luncheon on the 4th July.
Course Changes
As you will all be aware the changing of the course format has been delayed. We will let you know as soon as the start date is confirmed.
Privacy issues
In the past your personal details such as phone/mobile, DOB and home address were available to some of the committee members. This allowed us to contact you for welfare checks, to send birthday and get-well cards. However, due to privacy changes the club has decided not to make these details public without your permission. Therefore, we are asking you to fill in your details on a sheet at the luncheon if you are willing to do so. We would not be able to award a super vet award at next year’s Gala Day if we did not have DOB for example. This information would be for the Welfare officer, Treasurer, President and Captain.

Pace of Play
Some thoughts for you
- Be ready to play 15 mins before scheduled booking time (COP)
- If it safe to do so, hit your shot if another player is taking time to assess or reach their ball
- Hit your shot before you look for a player’s lost ball
- When two members have finished putting, move off the green and tee off on the next hole.
- Write your score down after you have teed off
Communication – Directory information
Once again can I remind members to go onto the golf app and ensure that your phone numbers are made Visible and Saved at the end of the page. The APP is finally up and running again. If you need help, please contact any member of the committee to guide you through.
It is always courteous to phone and let fellow golfers know if you have to pull out of a game, and can be difficult if you don’t have their number.
Welcome
A special welcome to any new members, we hope you have fun playing with us and please make yourselves known to the committee.
Welfare
Please remember to advise any member of the committee of any of our ladies or their families who may be ill or having a difficult time and may need our help or a visit.
Thank you
Vicki and Committee
