afternoons, you might notice men walking around the clubhouse with a small bag
of coins - specifically twenty-cent pieces. After finishing a round of golf and
returning to the clubhouse, many men move around the tables comparing scores
with theirs. If you score better, you receive two-bob (20 cents), and if
someone else scores higher, you pay them. This simple exchange is now a social
ritual, giving everyone a chance to chat, share laughs, and sometimes roast
each other over a bad round. Curious
about origins of the this? It
traces back to the 1960s, and to Warwick Paynter and Tom Allen who at the time
lived in Grafton and were part of a two-bob club at Grafton GC. When both
families moved to Coffs Harbour and joined CHGC in the mid-1960s, they brought
the Two-Bob Club tradition with them. It didn’t take long
for the majority of men to embrace the fun custom. This
tradition not only added a playful element to the game but also fostered
camaraderie among players. It’s a charming reminder of how simple
gestures can create lasting social bonds on and off the course. Warm Regards, The Centenary Planning Committee |
