President's Message 31st October 2011

Veteran Golfers,

Once again we had a perfect day for golf, with Half Moon Bay golf course in great condition.  Thank you to all those who prepared the course, to the club for sponsoring the event, and to the caterers who looked after us well as usual.

The day was the Cancer Council Event postponed from the washed out Cairns game on 18th October.  Entry fees were $10 with $3 of that going to the Cancer Council.  A total of $389 was raised from the 104 players who attended, which was a good turnout considering it was moved from our usual Tuesday because of the Melbourne Cup.

Welcome to our 9 visitors, Robyn Harper, Barry Foxover, Bernie Dalton, Brian Miller, David Mulcahy & Toli Lisecki all of Half Moon Bay, Andy Lloyd from Gordonvale & Trevor Freeman from Lakelands, WA.

The year is drawing to a close, with our AGM at Gordonvale on 22nd November & final event & Xmas breakup on 6th December at Cairns GC.  For those interested in nominating for the management committee, a form is included below - just copy & paste into your notepad, complete & hand it in at the sign in desk at Mareeba next Tuesday.


For those members interested in attending the 2012 National Championships at Mornington Penisula, Vic, between 11th & 16th November, the application forms are on http://www.mpvetsgolf.com.au/program_2012.html.. This Championship will be very popular as the courses being played are Rosebud, The Dunes, The Legends Course at Moonah Links and the Ocean Course at The National Golf Club.

I look forward to seeing you at Mareeba on 31st October, where I am advised that the greens are FAST.
