Vale Chris Mitchell

Long time Shelly Beach member and representative player for the Association, Chris Mitchell, passed away today, Sunday 14 May after a long fight against illness.

Chris was a greatly admired golfer, not only within the District but across the State who had a mischievous sense of humour. On one occasion playing foursomes at Everglades Chris and his partner had not played all that well and were somewhat relieved to come to the 18th hole. Chris played a nice shot to about 6 feet below the hole. Bruce attacked the short uphill putt but missed and the ball finished a foot or two past the hole. Chris casually walked to the ball, a tap in any day for Chris, and knocked it straight back to Bruce with the comment "have another go" much to the delight of playing partners and local spectators gathered around the green.

Our deepest sympathy is extended to Chris' family at this sad time. Vale Chris Mitchell.
