President's Report

A beautiful day brought out 96 men & 28 ladies to play in our second Consistency event. The course was in good condition with the two temporary greens playing almost as well as the regular ones. The new greens look nearly ready to play on & should be an interesting challenge next time we are at Mareeba. Well done to the volunteers who have maintained the course so well pending the arrival of the new greenkeeper last week. He will have a job ahead of him preparing for the Mareeba Mitsubishi Classic on the 13/14 April, followed by the Mareeba Open on 20/21 April. If anyone is interested in playing in either of those events, contact the club for entry forms on 4092 1528.

Thanks to the new Manager Warren & his staff for looking after us & keeping everyone fed. It must have been a bit more hectic than normal, as there was a 2 day juniors coaching clinic on as well, which will be followed by an juniors Open event.   (I just wish such clinics had been available when I started 56 years ago.)

Thanks to TGT Hardware for sponsoring the day & also to Bruce Gilmour for taking on Col McDowall's jobs whilst he is swanning around down south, no doubt sampling plenty of the wines!

We are now back to playing weekly & our next game is at Mossman on 9th April sponsored by Norm Lockwood, so see you there.

PS I have a Ping Nanotech putter cover which was found on the course today which I will bring to Mossman.
