President's Report
On Tuesday 14th May we held our 7th annual THA President’s Cup golf tournament at Barnbougle Dunes at Bridport. With a number of interstate challengers missing from this year’s event due to prior commitments, we had a solid field of 21 teams to take on the course of Barnbougle Dunes in windy conditions in the quest to get their name on the coveted President’s Cup. With a motorised cart full of sponsor products, our THA Ambassador David Foster OAM along with his Barnbougle ‘driver’ headed off around the course to keep all the players fully hydrated during a long afternoon on the course. As well as David, it was great to have another of Tasmania’s great sportsmen join us on the day, that being cricketer James Faulkner. We also had the new CUB State Manager and former AFL player Sean Rusling take part in his first ‘official’ gig in Tassie. The slightly windy conditions seemed to bring everyone closer in scores this year and it made for a possible ‘long shot’ winner. At the completion of the round, players enjoyed a few drinks at the Barnbougle bar before sitting down to the ‘official dinner’ in the restaurant. As always, the food offering from the staff at Barnbougle was sensational. We once again thank our beverage partners who provided a range of amazing options for dinner (and after dinner). In what some described as a surprise result, the CUB team, led by Sean Rusling and Mark Weaver took out the title for the winning team. Congratulations to team CUB!!! A big thanks goes to the following teams who entered and made the day and night such an enjoyable occasion:
-TABCORP -TAS HOTEL AND CATERING SUPPLIES -TWE -SALTERS HIRE -WESTPAC -ALM -GALLAGHER (NORTH & SOUTH) -LION (TAS & VIC)
