6th October 2008
Hi everybody, Gary Hart here.
Well,
we are a step closer to the open. 4 days left before
registration closes, so if you have not done so already,
I suggest you get your entry forms in.
I would like to start off with a
thought for Jesse Aungles (junior member). Jesse will be
going into hospital on Tuesday for an operation. On
behalf of the members and your friends at the First
Swing Golf Clinics, we wish you well and a speedy
recovery. We hope to see you back on the golf course
soon. Good luck.
On another note, I would like to
welcome back our very successful Paralympians from
Beijing. Matt Cowdrey, Jay Dohnt - you did yourselves
and your country proud, lads. On behalf of your
fellow members of the First Swing Golf Clinics, we
congratulate you. Now you have another big
milestone to conquer, which of course is the First South
Australian Amputee Golf Open in November.
I would also at this point like to
mention to all participants of the First Swing Golf
Clinics, how proud I am of you all for your
determination and support. You have all improved vastly,
and it makes me proud and privileged to be associated
with you all, juniors included.
If you have looked in the News
Flash section, you will see there is an announcement
regarding the 18th and 25th of October, where we will be
going out onto the main championship golf course. This,
of course, is in readiness of the First South Australian
Amputee Golf Open in November. I wish you all good luck;
remember everything that you have learnt. Please just go
out and enjoy yourselves, because you will be in the
company of a lot of very nice, understanding people.
If I may remind all committee
members the final committee meeting will not be our
usual Monday evening, but Tuesday the 21st of October at
6:30 at the Comfort Inn, Haven Marina. I look forward to
catching up with you all.
For our volunteers, Chris Crichton
and Rodney Coombe will shortly be in touch with you
regarding the First South Australian Amputee Golf Open.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for
you support and I look forward to meeting up with you
all on the first tee.
For our overseas and interstate
competitors, we welcome you with open arms and
friendship, and hope you enjoy our tournament.
In closing, I would again like to
congratulate you all on your efforts and the vast
improvement you have made. Again., Jesse, our thoughts
are with you; we look forward to your return.
See you all next week at the
Shores.
Regards,
Gary Hart
President
SA Amputee Golf
Association
