A little bit of trivia!
Last Wednesday the Beerwah Golf Club held a Medley Stableford in sight of the Glasshouse Mountains. The old Bruce Highway, now called Steve Irwin Way, runs along the side of the Course. They had 198 players in their popular mid-week comp. So, with no handicapping on the comp, what was the winning stableford score for 18 holes?
Was it
(A) 56 points
(B) 46 points
(C) 36 points?
To find out the answer be at presentations tomorrow.
Yesterday we played a Single Stableford which was the last round of the Patron's Trophy, sponsored by The Reef Hotel Casino (remember to gamble responsibly). The Millaa Millaa Golf Club course was an absolute picture with Bellenden Ker Ranges clearly visible in the background and shown off by a magnificent Tableland day. The only thing warmer than the weather was the hospitality extended by the Millaa Millaa GC members.
Congratulations to the volunteer grounds staff for presenting the course at such a high standard. Although we only had 30 members, everyone enjoyed the day.
We welcomed one new member - Mark Twomey from Atherton GC.
Today's Mens winner with a great 40 points was Keith Schirmer, closely followed by Greg Dowling who carded 39 points.
The Ladies winner with 33 points was Andrina Christison and runner up with 32 points was Heather Forster.

Sponsor Hotel Reef Casino.
Our generous sponsor today was Chiropractic Works Cairns. They are firm believers that many problems have strong muscular components and massage may be useful in helping relieve spasm, tension, pain and aiding to make a full recovery. Their chiropractors and massage therapists work closely along side each other and can advise you on the best times for massage. Massage is also available in the Mareeba clinic on Wednesdays.
Special congratulations to board scribe Russ Gill who eagled No 10 with a well directed 7 Iron from well over 100m out!
Next Week we travel up the to Millaa Millaa where due to the change over to GA Connect there will be no handicapping of this competition. Tee off from 8am. Ring Les Taylor on 0437874871 to book a buggy.
