Strap yourselves in folks as we wrap up the biggest weekend in golf and no I’m not talking about the Open Championship.
The Cunderdin Open Weekend, McIntosh 4BBB on Saturday and Stewart Cup on the Sunday (no its not named after our fifth favourite Mussared).
On Saturday 104 (that’s not a typo) want to be golfers graced the course on a beautiful day. With the beverages flowing freely thanks to our wonderful cart ladies Holly and Jamie a fantastic day was had by all. Great golf was played by the winning pair of Tristan Beaton and Tim Madigan.
A special thankyou to all of our great sponsors over the weekend.

Saturday night concluded with a cup of tea and a cucumber sandwich and everyone went home early to watch the golf on tv.
68 golfers fronted up again on Sunday to fight it out for the Stewart Cup and it was an absolutely magical day for golf. Special thanks to the Cunderdin guys who cooked the bacon and eggs on Saturday and Sunday morning and it is definitely not true that someone had a bottle of red wine with their bacon and egg sandwich at 8am on Sunday morning.

As you can see Tim Madigan had a great weekend, the only thing more outlandish than his golf was the outfit that he was wearing. The last time a woollen knitted mustard polo was in fashion Don Buegge had long hair. That shirt was last seen with Professor Plum in the Library with a candle stick.
Now that the golfing awards are done, we can get down to business. Best off course this weekend had several contenders. On any normal weekend the all night effort of Jack Jasper and Cameron Moses would have put them over the top. Cameron was even a winner on Sunday, it’s very hard to get 14 points. But an extra special effort from one of our long standing (or sitting and sometimes sleeping) visitors was especially outstanding this year. To protect his identity he will remain nameless, so don’t worry Macca.
These days do not happen without a huge amount of help. Captain
Ben and Vice Captain Vic did a power of work in the lead up to ensure everything went smoothly on the day. Also thanks very much to Carol Bridge and Marilyn Scarlett who did a fantastic job in the office all weekend. It definitely helps when your wife is doing the countback, doesn’t it Vic.
Our favourite Mussared Julie and her catering team did a great job on Saturday and Sunday keeping everyone extremely well fed. Although don’t try and buy a sausage roll or party pie in Cunderdin after we had 170 golfers over the weekend.
Bar Staff of Jack Jasper (Saturday), Dee Hobley and others did a great job keeping everyone hydrated. Special thanks to Holly and Jamie being the course cart ladies on Saturday.
A fantastic group of Cunderdin golfers put in a mountain of work in the lead up to the event to ensure the course was in great condition. It is a credit to our dedicated group of volunteers and their leader Darren Jasper (Puff).
Puff however wasn’t in attendance and is swanning around Europe. Particularly bad timing by Puff (or Donna because I doubt Puff had anything to do with booking the trip). It was mentioned in certain corners that maybe Donna could be up for a particular trophy at the end of the year for dragging the course manager away before the Open Weekend. And no, I’m not afraid of Doanna as she is several thousand kms away and won’t be back for a couple of months.
Next week (now last weekend because the notes are late) was the Kellerberrin Open Weekend on Saturday and Sunday and we had a good turnout. Rumour has it that Robert Fulwood is looking for a partner and after his back to back NAGA’s you are almost guaranteed to be in the winner’s circle.
Once again thankyou to everyone who made this a great weekend.
