WHAT'S COMING UP NEXT

SATURDAY 9th AUGUST
NEWTOWN JETS REUNION DAY

Newtown's final home game of the Knock-On Effect Cup season against the Penrith Panthers doubles as the Jets (and Bluebags) official reunion day.  A dwindling number of the 1. stars from the 60's, 70's and 80's will be there - or at least those who:

• reside in a nursing home with a courtesy bus;
• are waiting on a judicial verdict in a high profile murder case;
• nearing the end of their custodial sentence, have been granted weekend release; and/or
• are still on the run from law enforcement agencies.

The ESG&EC is always well represented at this annual gathering, meeting at the low key, adjacent Marrickville Hardcourt Tennis Club for a pre-game aperitif and watching the match (3.00pm kick-off) from the Lee Harvey Oswald grassy knoll adjacent to the 2. King George V Memorial Grandstand and kiosk.

2. Access to Henson Park is through the Woodland Street or Sydneham Road gates.  The Centennial Road gates are closed during the grandstand upgrade.

OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER
MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Dating back to 1989, The Championship is the ESG&EC's second major tournament.  Once famously described in Federal Parliament as ".. combining the pomp, ceremony and tradition of a British royal coronation with the appalling drunken behaviour of Munich's Ocktoberfest patrons ..", the tournament continues to attract record fields and boisterous crowds.

The Royal & Ancient Marrickville Old Course has won the Match Play Championship hosting bid for a record 37th consecutive year.  This internationally renowned public links course, featuring the toughest and most picturesque holes on the Cooks Peninsula, provides competitors with the ultimate golfing challenge.

The tournament is a handicap match play event spanning 2 or 3 consecutive weekends and, with the possible exception of the semi-finals on the Friday before the final, competitors must 3. walk the course and comply with the Tournament Competition Committee's (TCC) nominated playing schedule.

Unless we end up with exact match play numbers e.g. 8, 16 or remembering the glory days 32, all members are welcome to play socially in the tournament's stableford qualifying round even if they are unable to participate in the following matches.

3. A medical exemption to play in a cart is available for eligible members
