All,

Our game next Tuesday is our Xmas breakup & is a 4BBB STABLEFORD (not Stroke as advertised in the program) at Cairns.

At Cairns request to allow them to get social players on the course early afternoon, there will be a shotgun start at 7.30am with registration from about 6.40am.

We have changed the game in response to comments received from members & in an effort to speed up play so we can finish early & enjoy our lunch after.

The cost of the comp will be the usual $10.

Cost of lunch for those wanting to enjoy some pleasant company after the game is $20ph.  It consists of prawns (subsidised by the association), ham off the bone and chicken & salad, & pudding choice of Xmas pudding or apple crumble and custard.  Lunch will be served at tables after everyone is seated.

A progressive raffle will be run in conjunction with the game at $2 a ticket or 3 for $5 with 10 prizes ranging from a golf bag to wine to vouchers.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Gordonvale 25 Nov

President's Report & Results
of the 4BBB Stableford competition
Played on 25th November
at Gordonvale Golf Club
87 Players

President's Report

A slightly disappointing field of 70 men and 17 ladies turned up on a hot day for a 4BBB stableford on a course with plenty of run on the fairways but with fluffy surrounds to the greens as a result of one of the mowers being out of commission.  The prolonged dry spell also meant there was also plenty of leaf litter in the treed areas which may have caused some problems, although the field finished in good time.

The game was preceded by our AGM, which proceeded without hitch and after it, presentation of our major  trophies for the year.

Thanks to Savannah Lifestyle Resorts for sponsoring the day, although we were sorry Melody Lucas was not able to be present at the presentations and hope she will be able to make our Xmas breakup next week.  Thanks also to Karim & Kylie for looking after us at the bar.

Next Game Gordonvale 25 Nov

All,

Our game next Tuesday is a SHOTGUN start at 08.30 4BBB stableford at Gordonvale sponsored by Savannah Lifestyle Resort.  There is plenty of run, fluffy rough in the drains & plenty of leaf litter, so keep an eye on your ball & if you are in doubt as to where it finished, hit a provisional.

If players are travelling in carts, please endeavour to organise yourselves in groups, so that carters can be allocated the holes away from the club house and the walkers those holes closest.  It will make our job a lot easier in allocating starting holes if we're presented with the groups already organised. 

As our AGM is held before the game at 8.00am, please be punctual.

Presentations will be held after the game, so if you have won & can stay for those, it would be appreciated.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 18 Nov

President's Report & Results
of the Single Stableford competition
Played on 18th November
at Half Moon Bay Golf Club
104 Players


President's Report


A reasonable field of 87 men and 17 ladies turned up on a beautiful clear, but hot, day for a single stableford on a course in good condition with plenty of run on the fairways &good greens. Congratulations to the greens staff. I expect the heat contributed to the ordinary scores as there was little breeze to cool us off & many were seeking the shade in the trees, or at least that was their excuse.


Welcome to visitor Geoff Harmer & new member Peter Opio-Otim from Gordonvale.


Thanks to Drummond Golf for sponsoring the day, the caterers for their usual great burgers & the bar staff for looking after us.


Not all the committee are back from WA & unfortunately no major trophies will be coming back either.  However, Darryl deClifford was runner up in C Grade & Allan Dwyer managed a nearest the pin.   (The NTP prize was 2 bottles of wine which Allan left with Darryl to bring back as he is motoring.  I imagine the evaporation rate across the Nullabor will be significant!)

Please note, next week is our AGM at Gordonvale starting at 8am sharp. There is a shotgun start at 8.30 after the AGM & the event is a 4BBB stableford. Presentations of annual trophies will take place after the game, so if you can, please stay on for those.
