 HUNTER VALLEY GOLF CLUB VISIT. A group of Breakers finest travelled to the Hunter Valley during the week to compete in a friendly but hotly contested 18-hole Stableford competition. Not a 100% sure why but we hit off the blue markers, as we needed a cut lunch to get to the tees that were so far back. Paul Pascoe with a respectable 36 points was the winner on the day also hitting the longest drive. Mystery team winners were Darren Reeves and Chillie, Darren also got NTP which was not far off going in, for a hole in one. What a difference 48 hours makes wooden spoon, went to Stephen Adlard who sometimes was so far in the bush that he had the wildlife as his spectators. A great day was had by all!

 BREAKERS MEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP 2025 Sunday saw a field of four players per division with the match play format. Players were evenly matched with three of the groups going to the 18th hole for a result. There was some exciting tussles, no more so than Greg Swanson and Glenn Bainbridge , going down the 18th all square, Greg pushed his tee shot right, into the trees, Glenn a great drive down the middle, advantage Glenn, Greg took the penalty only to hit a magnificent 3rd shot to within 3 metres of the pin, Glenn came up short to the right for 2, his 3rd shot, a chip landed on the ridge in the middle of the green but did not roll out to the pin, which was located at the back of the green, thus was still short for 4. Greg sank a great putt for a par 4 and took the match. A special mention has got to go to our one and only terrier, Stephen Adlard down by 2 at the 12 to fight his way back to win 4 holes in a row and take the match 2 and 1. Results: A Grade:      Greg Swanson ...

NEW SUNDAY COMPETITION  

BREAKERS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP 2025 This weekend saw 52 players compete in our club, championship qualifier over two days in fine weather. The course was in great condition, and the pin placements were fair but challenging especially on our new 9 th / 18 th green where I believe even our “A” grades managed some triple bogies. A special thanks to Craig who added some nice touches around the course like mown aprons at the front of the greens and overall presentation of the course. Although there were plenty of stories about missed opportunities, bad bounces and if only, at the end of the day winners are grinners and in this case, there are eight players in each division go through to next week’s match play format well done to you all. Your Tee Booking times have now been set refer to Tee Times on our simple golf app.
