President's Message 9th August 2011


Veterans, 

Mareeba Golf Club presented us with an excellent golf course for the first round of the Championships. The course is in excellent condition as is the hospitality given to the Vets. Thank you very much.

Savannah Lifestyle Resort,  Mareeba sponsored the day with great prizes. At the presentation Melody Lucas from Savannah Lifestyle Resort told us of the exciting things happening at the Resort and invited all our members to come in and have a look at what is available. Thank you, Melody and Savannah lifestyle Resort for your support and sponsorship of the FNQ Veteran Golfers.

Thank you to the 164 golfers who played today, this is a record for the FNQ Veteran Golfers Assoc. While the large number and stroke round did result in a fairly slow day, it gave us a chance to enjoy the weather  and the kangaroos.

Welcome to visitors: Bill & Di Miller from Howlong, Bev Hosie from Wodonga, Colin Hands from W.A., Mike Wilke from Melbourne and Dieter Culenburgh from Melbourne.

Also welcome to our new members David Jackson from Half Moon Bay G.C., Des Kenny from Paradise Palms, Elso Iuretigh from Mareeba G.C., that takes our membership to 310 equalling last years number.

Next Tuesday 16th August the Championships move to Half Moon Bay Golf Club, requiring a complete different set of skills to Mareeba. 23rd August is the third stroke round, it is at Atherton Golf Club.

Good luck to all the players contesting the Championships.

Regards
Ross Bird
