The Bob Withers Memorial Sportsmanship Award
In April 2006, many of us all too suddenly lost a dear
friend in Bob Withers. Bob is remembered for his kindness,
model sportsmanship, and dedication to the Club.
In his memory, the Board has created an annual award, to be
given to a player who exemplifies the qualities that made Bob
so special to so many of us. The award will be presented at
the Club Championships Tournament Dinner on April 26, 2008.

A little about Bob
For those of you who didn't know Bob well, or won't mind a
little reminder, Maclean's
had a well written look at who Bob was.
Past and Current Recipients
And for those who don't remember, Henry Tregillas was the
first recipient of the Bob Withers Memorial Sportsmanship Award,
in 2007. A 39 year member of the Club, Henry is a friend and
role model to us all.
I wonder how Bob, a Kiwi, would think about me, an Aussie, winning this award.
Come to think of it, I think that he'd be okay with that.

The 2008 award recipient is Richard Martin.
