Golf August 2021
Four Probians golfers set a new club record during a round of golf on Tuesday, 14 September, 2021 at the Indian Wells Golf Course.
92 keepable golf balls were found as a group while playing. Players included Garry Jenkins, Joe Reid, John Mark and Tony Hart, who lead the group with 36 found balls.
Our next challenge to all Probians is to recover more than 100. We stopped because we couldn't carry anymore.

After a delayed start with golf courses closed, we are finally in “FULL SWING” alternating between Lakeview and Indian Wells. Even with the on-line booking policy and frustration, we are able to secure some reasonable starting times with the help of some members.
Under the circumstances we are still getting 20-30 golfers each week and that says a lot about our passion for the game. Unlike past years, when we had starting times and we were able to go out as a group, and socialize afterwards for conversation and connecting has been difficult.
With the present situation and inconsistent starting times we are unable to do this on a regular basis and we miss it!
Sometimes we do meet afterwards for a drink and get together with some members and are looking forward to the rest of the summer and fall.

The golf group has been alternating again this year between Lakeview and Mount Nemo golf courses. John Spence, the golf coordinator this year has been managing the bookings at Lakeview while his assistant Garry Jenkins has managed the Mount Nemo bookings.
Both courses have been well attended this year, although Lakeview is still only a 9 hole course.
New golfers are always encouraged to join us. No need to worry about how good (or not) you are. We have fun and enjoy a day out on the golf course.

LEFT: Les Mayer was this close to a hole in one on the 17th hole at Mount Nemo recently. Naturally he missed thus avoiding having to pay for the first round.

Members play once per week , normally on a Tuesday, with Tee-Off times generally scheduled for a 9:30am start. The average number of players range from 4-6 foursomes. Players are rotated each week to different foursomes. Some members golf on a bi-weekly basis only, or only on a part time basis.
The mission statement for PROBUS Golf is as follows:
“If you can bend over and pick up a ball you are qualified for acceptance into the group. Hitting is secondary.”
