President's Report

Although it was the Monday before Melbourne Cup, 82 men & 20 ladies turned up to a beautiful day with a pleasant breeze at Gordonvale. No doubt a number of members forgot & will turn up tomorrow for their usual Tuesday game!

Recent rain greened up the course slightly & it was in good condition with plenty of run on the fairways but, as expected, plenty of leaves as well to hide errant balls. The greens had also improved a lot from our previous visit & the course condition was reflected in the scores. Congratulations to the recently hired greenkeeper & volunteers.

Thanks to Kim & Justin for looking after us as usual & Cazalys for sponsoring the day. Thanks also to Colin Johannsen for running a Cup sweep. 4 blocs totalling 98 horses were sold & the results will be posted to this blog, with the cash held for the winner ($30), second & third ($10 each) available for collection next week.

The game next Tuesday is at Mareeba & is a single stableford, sponsored by TGT Hardware.

By the way, our Treasurer has reminded me that the new financial year has just started, so she is accepting membership renewals at registration over the next few games so you can avoid the leaner period after Xmas!    

Also, we are accepting nominations for committee membership & I will post the nomination forms on this blog shortly.  However, if you are eager to serve, we will have some available at registration too, or you can contact Secretary June & she will email one to you.
