ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAIRWAY CLUB
Captains Corner 2018 Summer Edition
Welcome back to our 71st year of the Fairway Club, still the oldest social golf club in Victoria & maybe Australia, established in 1947!
At the end of last year, the committee for 2018 was elected by members and are:
President – Neville Clements
Captain – Paul Wilson
Secretary – Mike Hedge
Treasurer – Warren Moore
Handicapper – Barry Long
Assistant Handicapper – Andrew Erskine
Committee – Ray Cook, Matt Dobson, Keith Seabrook
Web Master – John Blackman
A huge thank you to outgoing President Warren Hannah & Secretary Ron Spratt for their time & effort over the last 10-12 years, words can’t describe how much it’s been great working with you both.
This year the committee is working together on respecting each other & the courses we play.
It’s fair to say there isn’t to many social clubs that can play on the best courses in Melbourne & the Mornington Peninsula.
MERCEDES-BENZ BERWICK
The club also has again been sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, Berwick for the 5th year, a big thanks to all the members & friends who purchased vehicles from Craig Howard & his team.
GUEST DAY 2018
This was held at Yarra Yarra recently with 16 guests enjoying there day as potential members, (remember any new members must play with the President & Captain at least once for approval).
