President's Report

 Although there were some overnight showers on the coast, a beautiful morning on the Tablelands greeted 73 men & 17 ladies who turned up to a course that was in fine condition with fast greens ready for their Open at the weekend.  Congratulations to the greens staff and Kevin Moore & his volunteers who have obviously worked hard, although the pin placements on the slippery front slopes of the greens showed a warped sense of humour on someone's part!  All those from the coastal clubs clearly relished the opportunity to walk around a firm, dry course.

Thanks to Jon & Raylene for looking after us well as usual at the bar & with catering.  Thanks also to Col McDowall for picking up the prizes from our sponsor TGT Hardware & putting out the NTPs.

We are now back to weekly games & the game next Tuesday is a single stableford Consistency event at Gordonvale, so fingers crossed for some more decent weather to dry the course out a bit more & let the mowers at the rough.
