President's Report

Despite the forecast for the weather to mirror yesterday, ie clear in the morning with rain coming in later in the afternoon, a considerable number of wimps must have disbelieved it, expected to get wet & stayed away today!

This resulted in a poor field of 8 ladies & 50 men who enjoyed a pleasant day with no rain on a course in good condition, especially considering the amount of rain that had fallen there yesterday. Well done the greens staff. As a result of the low numbers, prizes were awarded in only 2 divisions.

Thanks to Owen & Debbie for looking after us & keeping up with the sandwiches. Thanks also to the club for sponsoring the event.

Welcome to 10 renewing members & to one new one, Barry Shaw of Half Moon Bay. Our membership so far for this year stands at 181.

Our next game is at Half Moon Bay golf club on 19^th March, but if you can't wait that long, the next Tablelands Summer of Golf game is at Millaa Millaa on 12^th March.
