65 Players

President's Report

There was a disappointing field of only 65 players, 56 men & 9 ladies.  This was probably the result of the dismal weather over the last couple of days, but as it turned out Mossman didn't have any rain on the day & those who didn't turn up missed a very pleasant, clear day with a cool breeze & a very well presented course.

The little rain Mossman received over the previous couple of days only served to keep the fairways green & the greens in excellent condition. In fact, the greens were better than those at any of the Cairns clubs. Congratulations to the greens staff.

Thanks to the club for sponsoring the event & for Lisa, Dixi & Trish for preparing the sandwiches & looking after us well. Thanks also to Claud Clark for devotion to duty by turning up & doing the Treasurer's job, despite not being able to play after waking with a cricked neck.

Welcome to a visitor from Tin Can Bay, Peter Liddle. He will have found the lack of sand flies compared to his home club a welcome relief, although that did not help him get amongst the prizes.

Commiserations to Harvey Blanch who declared himself a lady in order to get his name on the nearest the pin on 13 only to be knocked off by a real lady, Pris Freeman.

By the way, I forgot to mention in the last blog that the raffle winner last week was June Willmot & runner up Russ Gill – again. However, as the balls were drawn by third parties, we don't believe there was any collusion!

Our next game is at Half Moon Bay golf club on 29th May.

Look forward to seeing you there.
