REUNION

Murray Thom, John McCready and Michael Glading

On our return to Auckland Gillian and Dale Wrightson hosted a dinner and among the guests were Murray Thom and Michael Glading with their lovely wives Anne and Lynley.

John set up CBS Records in New Zealand in 1978 and soon after Murray was Sales Manager and Michael the Finance Manager. John was appointed MD of CBS Australia in 1982 and Murray took over as New Zealand MD. When Murray moved on to begin his highly successful independent business career Michael was appointed MD. The company eventually (during Michael's leadership) became Sony Music and so the three of us were the only MD's CBS Records New Zealand ever had.

MATCH PLAY

Since our arrival on The Sunshine Coast Barry and Robyn Robertson have been the most helpful and social of all the many wonderful people we have met here. We regularly play matchplay as a foursome, ladies vs guys. To date the ladies have been well in command winning two and halving one of the first three matches.

On Thursday October 5 the fourth match took place at Noosa Springs. The match was tight with the ladies going into the turn 1 up. Soon the lads were three down and looking out for the count with both Robyn and JT having excellent games.

The determined Barry then won 16 with a par 3 to bring the boys back to 2 behind. On 16 both ladies found the water: Barry hit the green for two and calmly 2 putted for the win to make the boys one down, one to go.
JT putts for a 6 for 3 on the par 5, 18th: the putt slides by the hole and JT ends up with 2 points.

Barry then sinks a ten footer for a birdie to win the hole and square the match.

We now look forward to match 5 which we hope will be played at Hyatt Coolum.
