Hornibrook 2020 ~ Postponed until 2021
The Hornibrook event scheduled for Sydney 11 to 16 Oct 2020 has been cancelled see the details below received from MBE Golf Sydney
It is proposed to hold this event next year details will be advised in due course.
Our own events schedule is on hold until further notice.
Taking into consideration all of the above points we have decided to cancel this years event and the responses already received from state captains gives us the approval to hold the event next year same time and same location and hopefully same golf courses. We will also have to advise you on any cost changes that may occur.
Some people might think we are calling this too early but our best chance of holding a successful event will be next year not this year.”

Our own events schedule is on hold until further notice.
- “Sponsors - We don’t think it is wise to promote this event and not give our sponsors the best possible avenue to obtain return from their investment, also it would be extremely difficult to find additional sponsors at this time
- Players - We expect it to be extremely hard for players to commit to our event at this time, either due to health reasons or financial capacity during these coming months when a decision must be made.
- Crown plaza The hotel is being flexible with our contract and have offered us the opportunity to postpone our event until next year, subject to availability.
- Coronavirus Listening to the so called experts we are looking at a minimum 6 months shutdown of normal living conditions where one can expect to be freely able to visit restaurants and clubs , hold functions and play golf in normal operating conditions and feel 100% safe in doing these activities.
Taking into consideration all of the above points we have decided to cancel this years event and the responses already received from state captains gives us the approval to hold the event next year same time and same location and hopefully same golf courses.

We were welcomed to Royal Hobart Golf Club with beautiful weather and fantastic conditions on course. Our field of 32 players included a number of guests and it is pleasing to see members bringing along people to swell our ranks. Welcome to Justin Smith who joined the Club on the day.
The results read a bit like a past or present Committee list with Col Heron (Life Member) having the best score of the day with 41 points. A Grade went to Roger Stokes (Secretary) from Neil Faulks (Captain). B Grade was won by Ian Mansfield (President and Life Member) from Mike Rataj, and C Grade, Peter Johnson (Committee) from Sam Vickers. Steve Frith won the visitors from Paul Read.
See the results page for the other details and check out the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy scores for a run down on the day’s performances and the overall standings.
Our next event is at Claremont Golf Club on Friday 23 August.

From: The Secretary To: The News Desk Sent: 15/05/2019 9:25:00 AM Subject: Launceston Country Club I start this report with a huge Thank You to Andrew McConnon and Bosch for the fantastic range of product they supplied as prizes for our day at Prospect Vale Golf Club (Launceston Country Club). If members are in the market for power tools remember to consider this sponsor’s products when making your selection. The overall winner for Best Score by a member of the MBA Tas Golf Club was Mike Rataj with 35 points. Mike (right) is pictured receiving a 6 piece tool kit from Andrew. Other Bosch 2 piece kits went to the winners of A grade (Gary Linton), B Grade (Selwyn Dalton) and C Grade (Gil Bantoft). The best score of the day was James Wardlaw who was a visitor to the MBA day although a local member at Prospect Vale. James shot a very respectable 40 points. |
Thanks also to Club Professional, Bryce Gorman for all his work arranging the day. Unfortunately Bryce had no control over the weather and we played in cold and sometimes wet conditions. Despite this the course was in great condition and even though most scores were on the lower side everyone appreciated the chance to take home the goods supplied by Bosch.
Our next day is at Thirlstane Golf Club on Friday 7 June. The Member Jackpot will be $200 as John Siejka was not present at Launceston when his name was drawn. I look forward to seeing you there.

Subject: Ulverstone Golf Day
We were presented with a fine and mild day for the Ulverstone Golf Day on April the 12th. The golf course itself was in fantastic condition and was enjoyed by the players that attended the day. Thanks must go out to the Ulverstone Golf Club for allowing us to play on the day and also to the bar and kitchen. We as a club would also like to thank Clyde Sharp from the Master Builders Tasmania for his work behind the scenes to arrange sponsorship, the fantastic prizes and the food for the day. Hopefully there will be many more Master Builders Tasmania (MBT) and Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club (MBT GC) joint days in the future. Our next joint event is as the Tasmania Golf Club on November the 1st.
Now to the golf results. We had two competitions for the day, an Individual Stableford event and a Team's Event Best Ball. As you will see it seemed the C Graders struggled a bit with the length of the Ulverstone layout, but we are sure they enjoyed the points they amassed. Congratulations to all the winners.
The Team's Event was taken out by locals Dave Walker, John Brett, Andrew Lewtas and Alex Smith with a very good team score of 49 points. Another northern team of Tony Dick, Paul Baggot, Mike Rataj and Sam Vickers came in second with a score of 47 points.
MBT/MBT GC Member Prizes
A Grade - 1st with 33 points - Martin Brown. Runner up with 31 points - Craig Clark
B Grade - 1st with 32 points on a count back - Trevor Johnson. Runner up with 32 points - Paul Baggot
C Grade - 1st with 29 points - Sam Vickers. Runner up with 26 points - Kent Bishop
The best stableford score for MBT/MBT GC Members went to Neil Faulks with 36 points. Neil successfully defending his Eddie French Memorial Shield he won last year.
The Visitors prize went to Dave Walker from Ulverstone (local knowledge!) with 37 points. Runner up with 36 points was Barry Bourke.
Novelty Prizes - NTP's on the 9th and 18th holes were won by Kent Bishop and Jamie Kay respectively. Longest Drives in A, B & C grades were taken out by Craig Clark, Clint Edwards and Glenn Johnson. Closest to the pin for the 3rd shot on the 17th went to Neil Faulks.
Hopefully we will see as many players at Prospect Vale Golf Club (Country Club Casino) on May the 10th. Bosch has come on board with some great prizes for the day. Winning the best MBT GC Member score for the day will get the winner an 18volt 6 piece Bosch kit. A great prize!!!!! Please come along and support the day and a great NEW sponsor.

Llanherne Golf Club put on a fine cloudy day to start, but it ended up being very nice day indeed. The golf course was in fantastic condition (if you stayed on the fairways). The greens were exceptional and congratulations must go out to the club on their presentation. I would also like to thank Dennis and Graeme at the club for being so easy to deal with.
As to the golf, well a few warmed to the challenge and scored well. Others just came for the walk and scenery. Ian Mansfield wasn't there at all and missed out on the Member Jackpot of $200.
A Grade was won by Neil Faulks with 40 points, B Grade by Trevor Johnston with 41 points and C Grade by Gilbert Bantoft with 35 points. The winners list can be viewed on the Llanherne results page or the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy scores for the day.
Our next fixture is Ulverstone Golf Club. Great prizes will be available and a BBQ provided. Please come along and support this day as I know they will welcome a big field and a little extra patronage.

Subject: Continental Cup played at Launceston Golf Club
Many thanks to John Siejka for continuing the tradition started by his father as Continental Builders again hosted the Regional Teams event, the Continental Cup, at Launceston Golf Club.
Congratulations to the North West, taking the trophy with an average score of 29.22 from South on 27.11. Numbers were a little disappointing with the North unable to field enough players to qualify.
The best individual score on the day was Neville Smith with 37 points. Unfortunately for Gil Bantoft, he and his travelling partners left early and he was not there when his name was drawn for the Member Jackpot. This means it will be $200 at Llanherne on 22 March.

Subject: To our Members, Sponsors and regular Visitors,
Thanks for your participation through 2018. We have had good numbers at most events and look forward to making the 2019 season an even better year.
Last Friday was our final round and Devonport Golf Club looked after us very well. Best Golf Club Member score was John Erends with 37 points. Matt Marston had the best score of the day with 38 and won the visitor prize. Check out the website at mbatasgolf.org for the full list of winners.
The 2018 winner of the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy is Selwyn Dalton on 167 points from Sam Vickers on 151 and Neil Faulks on 133. See how you went in the attached result list. How much closer would it have been if Sam had been able to play last Friday?
And speaking of people who didn't get to the last game, Greg Treweek was drawn out for the $400 member jackpot but was not there. Unlucky Treeks! Tony Bennett didn't mind though as he collected $100 in a consolation draw for the last game of the year. Our member jackpot will start again at $100 next year.
2019 will start with a game at Kingston Beach Golf Club in early February. We have not held a day there for a while, so it is a good opportunity to play a different layout.
The Master Builders National Championships are in South Australia in October 2019. Tasmania took a team of 24 to Brisbane in 2018 and would like to increase that number for 2019. We might not have won the event last year (we came 4th) but we did have the biggest group and even out numberer the host State. Don't be the one saying "I'll go if you go", say "Come on, let’s go and have a week of fun"! Have a look at the invitation.
Enjoy your Christmas and may Santa bring you that golf swing you have always wanted.

Good afternoon fellow golfers
Just a bit of news to share with you all. The Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club Team recently competed in the Master Builders Australia Golf Tournament (MR Hornibrook Trophy) in Brisbane Queensland. Our Tasmanian team finished a creditable 4th out of the 7 teams competing. Great job team! As usual it was great to catch up with friends from interstate and also to meet new fellow Master Builders golfers. Also the hospitality provided by the Queensland Master Builders Golf Club fantastic. Best valued tournament in Australia I think!
Next year we are off to South Australia and we will be doing it all again based at the Lakes Resort Hotel. Please see attached flyer or go to www.mbagolf.org/next-tournament.html and scroll down to see all current information available.

Michael Capsanis from Bluescope Lysaght came to our assistance with generous sponsorship of the day and our sincere thanks go to him for that.
We held our first Member Draw for $100 following the presentations and the lucky (or unlucky) member drawn was Athol Tubb. With Athol not present, the kitty jackpots to $200 to be drawn at our next event which is at Thirlstane Golf Club on 15 June.

Subject: Master Builders Golf Day at Ulverstone on the 20th April 2018
A fine and mild day greeted all players at the picturesque Ulverstone Golf Club (UGC). The day was a joint effort between the Master Builders Tasmania (MBT) and the Master Builders Tasmania Golf Club (MBTGC) and being the first such event most of our planning went well. There appeared to be only one thing we could improve on which we will endeavour to iron out before our next event. A big thank you goes out to Clyde Sharp from the MBT who pulled together some great sponsors for the day and provided some food and refreshment. Thank you to Dial Before You Dig, Becks Home Timber & Hardware and Cbus for their generous sponsorship and we hope their representatives enjoyed their day on the course with our Members. Also thank you to Mark Johnson, General Manager of the Ulverstone Golf Club, for his assistance in arranging this day.
Now to golf. In brief the winners of the Best Ball Team Competition for the day were Peter Johnson, Terry Commane, Darris Burrill and Paul DeGroot. Winning scores for MBTGC Members were A Grade -Terry Commane, B Grade - Trevor Johnston, C Grade – David Walker. The best overall MBTGC Member score and winning the Eddie French Memorial Trophy was Neil Faulks. Nearest the pins were won by Neil Faulks on the 9th and Dan Smith on the 18th. The full set of results (click here) and the updated Fletcher Insulation Leader Board (click here) can be viewed on our Webpage. For all information relating to previous events and upcoming events please go to www.mbatasgolf.org We continue to build our Webpage to make it easier for our Members to use so please have a look. It makes our days far easier to organise if all our players register through our Webpage.

A disappointing turn out for the day at Tasmania with only 18 players.
Thanks to Betta Home Living at Rosny Park for assistance with the vouchers as prizes.
The low numbers meant everyone was well fed with the snacks provided by the Golf Club and by the time we got through balls down the line no-one went home without a prize.

Ulverstone turned on some pretty heavy showers for the field of 40 dedicated players. Fortunately, they didn’t last long, (the showers not players) and the course was in magnificent condition.
Local member John Brett returned the best score of the day with 35 points.
Col Heron became the inaugural winner of the Eddie French Memorial Shield for the best score by a MBA Builder Member (or retired member) with 31 points. Col is pictured with the shield.

Despite perfect conditions no one returned a score better than handicap. The best score of the day went to Selwyn Dalton with 33 on a countback from Scott Richards.

As predicted, Selwyn Dalton continued his run-away form in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy winning with a year total of 73 points. Tony Wilton came in second with 58.5 from Dennis French on 56.5. Thanks to Gary Linton from Fletcher Insulation for this support.
Our thanks too go out to John Siejka of Continental Builders for his support of the Continental Cup won by the Southern region this year. We also played another two days under Hornibrook scoring with North West winning convincingly at Devonport and just ahead at Royal Hobart. They secured Regional bragging rights over the 3 rounds. North need to work on increasing participant numbers!
Best wishes to all for the festive season and I look forward to catching up at our first game for 2017. Our roster is still in draft for next year but it looks like round 1 will be at Launceston in mid February.

Subject: Orford Report
Our 2016 season kicked off very well with 48 players at Orford Golf Club. Recent dry conditions followed by flash flooding tested the course's ability to recover but apart from a few patches where preferred lies were used the course was very good.
Once again we were generously supported by Walkers Coaches with Dave Walker providing crayfish for the grade winner's prizes and supplying the meat for the BBQ.
A big thank you to Walkers Coaches who also run the Airport Undercover Parking in Hobart. (Members take note when travelling).
41 points was the popular score for winners in all grades with John Erends winning A Grade, Gil Bantoft B Grade and Dave Walker C Grade. The Visitors was won by David Nunn on 37 points.
For a full wrap up of the results and the standings in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy see the links on the fixtures page.
Good Golfing.

Subject: End of year wrapup
The final two rounds of the year were held at Launceston Golf Club on 13 November and Royal Hobart Golf Club on 4 December. Both rounds were played in perfect weather and both courses in magnificent condition.
We are very grateful to Hanson for their continued support of the Royal Hobart day.
The full lists of results can be found on the link on the fixtures page.
With the last round came the final points in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy. Trevor Johnston came from the clouds to overtake myself and Mike Rataj and win with a total for the year of 68 points. I believe this has been a very worthwhile event and has prompted a few to make sure they do not miss games. Thanks to Gary Linton from Fletcher Insulation for this support.
Best wishes to all for the festive season and I look forward to catching up at our first game for 2016 at Orford on 19 February.
Good Golfing.

MBA Golf Day ~ Tasmania Golf Club 25 September 2015
Bunnings came on board as sponsor of the trophies for our event at Tasmania Golf Club. I thank Darren Grainger for his contribution and participation of the Bunnings team in the day.
Best MBAGC member score was yours truly with 39 points. Andrew McConnon from Bunnings had the best score of the day with 40 and won the visitors trophy.
All results from the day and standings in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy can be found on the links attached to the fixtures page.
The Tasmania course was very well presented and the greens have come back very well from recent renovations. Thank you to the staff for looking after us so well.
Our next event is not until 13 November as the National Championships are on in Melbourne in October. 17 members are heading off to represent Tasmania and we are looking to improve on our 4th place in last year's tournament.

The top score of the day was 45 points shot by Orford member Matt Pedler who won the B Grade with another local Graeme Bellette winning C grade with 38 points. The visitors was won by Andrew Lewtas on 41 points while Judy Webster was in a class of her own in the ladies.

Nearest to the pins were won by Paul Almond, Tom Bishop and D Johnstone. It was interesting to see that the leaders in the Fletcher Insulation Consistency Trophy came back to the field somewhat (or did the field catch up?) and results can be found on the bottom of the 2015 program page.
Thank you to Jason and Dennis from SPT Security for their continued support of the MBA Tas Golf Club and good to see they finished amongst the winners. Also thanks to Greens Beach Golf Club for making us welcome and presenting the course in such good condition.

The final MBA Tas Golf Day for 2014 looked like it was going to be a wet affair with drizzle greeting players as they arrived at Tasmania Golf Club. We had a field of 47 players including 17 visitors. Luckily umbrellas and wet weather gear were only required briefly and the weather turned out quite pleasant.
We have been very fortunate to again have Clennett’s Mitre 10 as a major sponsor of the day providing most of the trophies and the post game meal. Harvey Norman Hobart also chipped in with two great prizes. All players should greatly appreciate the contribution these companies have made in making the day a success. Please consider them when you are looking for products they can offer.
Best score of the day went to Selwyn Dalton with 40 points. The full list of results can be found here.
We are finalising our fixtures list for 2015 and this will be posted on the web site shortly however we can confirm the first game will be at Claremont Golf Club on Friday 20 February 2015.

“A day in Memory of Tom”
Greens Beach turned on great weather for our event which was the first MBA golf day since the passing of Tom Vimpany and so it was played in his honour. We had 33 members and guests make the trip.
The day was hosted by SPT Security and our thanks go to Tim Vimpany and Jason Cochrane from SPT for sponsoring a second day for the year.
It was clear that there had been some pretty wet weather in the lead up to our day as the top of the course was quite wet with a ‘tee up’ rule on the 4th and preferred lies on other parts of the course. Despite this, Greens Beach was in good condition and the greens were excellent.
The scores perhaps reflected the lack of run or maybe we just didn’t bring our A game with us. Except for Trevor Johnston that is who was the only player to shoot better than his handicap. Congratulations Trevor. The full list of results can be found here.
Our thanks go to Greens Beach Golf Club for making us so welcome, to SPT Security for the donation of trophies and the food and to our BBQ chef John? (sorry, fading memory).
We look forward to greeting as many as possible at our next golf day at Royal Hobart Golf Club on 19 September. Remember guests are most welcome so invite some mates to come along.

Our first game in the North West region this year certainly brought out the locals. Of the 59 entrants, 38 were members of Ulverstone Golf Club. The Visitors also well outnumbered the MBA Golf Club Members which reflected in some of the scores. Some may have been surprised to be counted in the visitors having been members in the past but with 2014 membership due by 31 March, only the financial members were eligible for the grade prizes. Rodney Edwards was the winner of the MBA Builder Member trophy with 37 points while Trevor Johnston captured the MBA Golf Club Member trophy with a fine 41 points.
This was the 47th year this event has been run at Ulverstone and it’s success is due to the generous contributions made by our sponsors of the day. I would like to acknowledge Wells Home Timber and Hardware Latrobe, Fairbrother P/L, Harvey Norman, T&G Glass, Polished Concrete Creations, Graham Elliott & Associates, IGA Spreyton, Laminex Industries and Grant Matson. Members should consider these businesses when in need of the services they can provide. A full list of the day’s results and our sponsors can be accessed here. Thanks also to Tony Mills and his staff at Ulverstone Golf Club who made us most welcome and turned the course out in splendid condition.
The next MBA Golf Club event is at Port Sorell on Friday 4 July. Anyone wanting to play is most welcome.

Riverside Golf Club 11 April 2014. We had 33 members and 7 visitors at our 3rd event for 2014. The day was hosted by SPT Security and our thanks go to Tim Vimpany and Jason Cochrane from SPT for stepping in with their support at fairly short notice. Thanks also to Tim Cocker from Becks Home Hardware Launceston for providing some of the prizes and to Michael Howard who is the chef at Riverside Golf Club for his donation of after game snacks.
Riverside Golf Course was in fine condition although the greens were a little slow. The rain stayed in southern Tasmania so we only had to contend with cool winds which proved no problem for Tim Vimpany shooting the best score of the day with a fine 41 points. Click here for a full list of results.
Our next outing is at Ulverstone on Thursday 15 May. Remember that guests are welcome so if you want to bring a group along we would be happy to see you there.

MBA Golf Club News
Orford turned on the hospitality and held off the rain for our second game of the year. We had 35 players with 11 of those being visitors. It was another very successful day thanks to the kind generosity of sponsor Walkers Coaches who not only arranged the trophies but also provided the melt in the mouth steaks for the BBQ at the finish of play. When presenting prizes to the winners David Walker was proud to mention that the major prizes were sourced from local business so that the community benefited from the trophies provided.
Tony Rowell won the A grade on a countback from Neil Faulks on 39 points with Tim Elmer one point back on 38. It was equally close in B grade with Ross Nixon getting up on a countback from Bob Barry on 40 points and Frank Pedler third on 36. C grade went to E Harvey with the best score of the day, 42 points. Bob Walker was second on 40 and David Walker on 38.The winners in each grade received a Maria Island voucher for 2 adults. The visitors prize went to T Knight on 39 with Leigh Batchelor and Danny Barrow on 37.
Longest drives were won by D Maine (who also won nearest for 2 on the 4th), Ross Nixon and E Harvey. Each received 2 bottles of wine and a wine rack from local vineyard Darlington Wines. Nearest to the pins were won by I Picone and John Erends.
It is only 3 weeks to our next game at Riverside Golf Club on 11 April. Anyone interested in playing in this or any of our golf days is most welcome. You can get more information on the MBA Golf Club from Roger Stokes on 0407 657178 or have a look at the website at mbagolf.org .

MBA Social Golf Club News
In ideal conditions, twenty two members and 3 visitors enjoyed the first round of the 2014 calendar at Claremont Golf Club on Friday 21 February. The day was sponsored by Steeline Roofing and our thanks go to John Erends for the generous support his company has provided.
The winner of A grade was Tony Wilton with 35 points and runner up was Gary Linton on 33. B grade was a close battle with Bob Barry winning on a countback from Frank Pedler, both on 37 points. In C grade it was a continuation of the Orford onslaught when Michael Kent won with 34 points and David Walker second on 33. The Visitors went to Danny Barrow on a countback from Carl Steedman on 35 points. The nearest the pins were taken out by players in the last group of the day (nothing suspicious there) with Roger Stokes winning the 4th and 11th and Chris Gribble the 6th.
Our next outing is at Orford Golf Club on Friday 21 March. This is always a good day with morning tea and a BBQ lunch provided as part of your entry. Anyone interested in playing in this or any of our golf days is most welcome.

Subject: Golf Day at Tasmania
Hi all,
On a sunny day (albeit Friday 13th Dec) at the Tasmania Golf Club a total of 58 golfers took on the testing layout. The hole/pin positions were set for the next day’s Monthly Medal so it set up for a tough day. I would like to thank Clennett’s Mitre 10 for the fantastic sponsorship for the day. The prizes provided by Clennett’s Mitre 10 were of exceptional quality and all players enjoyed the food provided by our sponsor as well. Thanks must also go to the Tasmania Golf Club staff for their assistance in arranging the day and the use of the course.
MBT Golf Club Members Results
The C grade players struggled somewhat on the course with veteran Leon Cahir (Young Leon) coming out on top with a score of 29 stableford points from David Walker on a count back on the same score. B grade was hotly contested with the old stager Bobby Barry coming in with 34 points to out-shine Shane Painter also on a count back. In A Grade one of the early players on the course Gary Linton returned a great score of 42 points only to be overrun by one of the players in the last group of the day with a greater score of 43 points (4 under par) by Paul Faulks.
The Visitors Results
Jacob Gillbee carded the best score for the visitors with a fine score of 39 points followed by David Jones with 36.
A full list of the other novelty prizes can be seen by following the link to the day’s full results or on our webpage located at www.mbagolf.org States Regions/Tasmania. Once again a big thank you to Clennett’s Mitre 10 for their contribution and assisting in making the day a great success.
Next year’s golf calendar will be posted on our webpage in early January. The first day will be held in late February. New members are welcome. Enquiries can be sent to [email protected] or by contacting your nearest MBT office.
