President's Report

This was the game swapped with Mareeba because the course was unplayably wet on 17^th April, and recent excellent weather resulted in a good turnout of 94 men & 24 ladies.

The course was in good condition with some run returning to the fairways & the bunkers with soft sand in them. Although the greens still had not fully recovered from scarification, they should be back to near perfect in a couple of weeks. Several remarks were made about the amount of work being done on the gardens, which were looking beautiful, particularly to those of us who managed to stay out of them!

Whilst we were there, work started on levelling the site of the new Pro's Shop & clearing was continuing along the road in preparation for the Cairns access road upgrades. It will be interesting to watch developments in the lead-up to our Open in June.

Many thanks to Complete Health & Fitness Solutions for sponsoring the game & to their representative Scott Payne who played & presented the trophies after saying a few words about what they offered. We have some cards available for those who want to discuss a program with them.

Thanks also to the Club caterers who did well in keeping the sandwiches up to the numbers participating & looking after us generally.

Welcome to visitors Ian Watson of Cabramatta, NSW, & Keith Dudgeon of Ashgrove, Brisbane. We hope you enjoyed the game & that we will see you again.

Our next game is at Gordonvale golf club on 15^th May, where the greens are responding well to a rehabilitation program. The drains are also drying out, at least in places!

Look forward to seeing you there.
