President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 27 May

President's Report & Results
of the Single Stableford Competition
Played on 27th May
at Half Moon Bay Golf Club
115 Players


President's Report


89 men & 26 ladies turned up at Half Moon Bay to a fine morning for a change, with the course in excellent condition after hosting the Holden Scramble over the weekend.  It was great to be able to play without getting one’s feet wet, as even though there were a few minor showers during the day, they were not enough to leave puddles or do more than cause some inconvenience.  Congratulations to the greens staff.


Congratulations to Ruth Yelland who took out the Ladies Qld Veteran’s Championship at Mt Coolum.  Congratulations also to Mike George who scored a 5 pointer on the 5th today.


Welcome to visitors Peter Buckman from Yallourn, Vic. & Shirley Luhrman & Paul Harbers both of Sandy Gallop, Ipswich.


Welcome also to new members Jim Smith of Half Moon Bay,Peter Johnston of Mareeba & Regina Lawson of Gove, who bring our membership for the year up to 227.


Thanks to the caterer for looking after us - the bacon & egg rolls looked tasty.  Thanks also to our sponsor for the day, Brothers Leagues Club


An order for club shirts is going to be placed after next week’s game, so if you would like to order one, please see Lois Tait at registration or call her before.


Our next game is at Mareeba & is a stableford round sponsored byTGT Hardware.


Also, a reminder that our Open is fast approaching & entries close on 17th June, so if you intend to play on either or both days, you need to get your entry forms from June at registration, or print one off from this blog (see entry dated 31 Mar), or click on the link in the right column of the blog under the Program.

Next Game Half Moon Bay 27 May

All,

Our game next week is a single stableford at Half Moon Bay, sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.

The course is hosting the Holden Scramble on Saturday, so should be in fine condition for us, weather permitting.

Assuming we do not get any heavy rain between now & Tuesday, the full course will be in play, so fingers crossed.  (The synoptic weather map does not look too bad.)

See you there.

Louis Siedle

PS IMPORTANTPlayers need to know their exact Golflink handicap and they are required use that handicap to peruse the Look-up Charts of the course at which they are playing to determine their Daily Handicap.  It is the Daily Handicap that MUST go on the player's scorecard, not their exact handicap. Failure to enter the Daily Handicap on the scorecard, will, unfortunately, result in disqualification.  There is no requirement to put the exact Golflink Handicap on the card, but entering the player's Daily Handicap is mandatory.

President's Report & Results Atherton 20 May

President's Report & Results
of the Single Stroke Competition
Played on 20th May
at Atherton Golf Club
51 Players


President's Report

With the current bout of lousy wet weather persisting many members must have decided to roll over & go back to sleep!  However, 38 men & 13 ladies braved the conditions & found the course in surprisingly good condition, although preferred lies were the order of the day in the soaking conditions.  The greens were also in good order & tracking well.  Congratulations to the greens staff.  As numbers playing were under 60, there was only one men’s division.

Thanks to Owen & Debbie for looking after us well as usual.

Welcome to new member Marg Mee of Paradise Palms & to visitor Ross Ellen of Gordonvale..  Membership to date stands at 224.  

An order for club shirts is going to be placed in 2 weeks, so if you would like to order one, please see Lois Tait at reception.

Our next game is at Half Moon Bay & is a stableford round sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.

Also, a reminder that our Open is fast approaching & entries close on 17th June, so if you intend to play on either or both days, you need to get your entry forms from June at registration, or print one off from this blog (see entry dated 31 Mar).

President's Report & Results
of the Single Stableford Competition
Played on 13th May
at Gordonvale Golf Club
92 Players


President's Report


After a heavy predawn shower, the day cleared up to a large extent, although there were some showers & wind gusts later on.  However, 69 men & 23 ladies braved the conditions & found the course well mowed and the rough in the drains poisoned but still long lower down where the mowers couldn’t reach yet.  The greens are still a work in progress & the club has received advice from the Half Moon Bay greenkeeper on what is needed to bring them up to scratch.  Congratulations to the greens staff & volunteers who have worked hard.


Thanks to Manager Phil for running a drinks cart for us & for Jason for looking after the bar.


Welcome to new members Julie Wallace of Gordonvale, Jaqui Marat of Cairns & Michael Scott of Port Moresby.  Membership to date stands at 216.  However, I have some 250 member email addresses!  If any members have changed their address since last year, please let Di Diversi or myself know your new one so we can keep our mailing list up to date.


An order for club shirts is going to be placed in 2 weeks, so if you would like to order one, please see Lois Tait at registration.


Our next game is at Atherton & is a stroke round being the first game for the Stanton Baliey trophy.

96 Players


President's Report

A beautiful day saw a field of 78 men & 18 ladies turn up to a course in excellent condition with some pins in positions that had tricky breaks.  How pleasant to play a course with a bit of run again – we'd almost forgotten what it was!  Congratulations to Kevin Moore, the greens staff & volunteers.

We had another new sponsor for the day, Claud Caters Menswear, so if you are looking for some new gear, pop in & have a look at what they have on offer.

Thanks to Raelene for looking after us as usual with sandwiches & drinks.  Welcome to visitor Wally Alston of Tambo Valley, Vic & to new members Eric Toombs of Paradise Palms, John English of Half Moor Bay, Kevin Collins of Mareeba & Rosalie Rhodes & Bryan Guest of Sandy Gallop, Ipswich.  Our membership stands at 205 to date.

Congratulations to Wal Anthony for a very well deserved Certificate of Appreciation for Services to Golf volunteer award presented by Peter Castrisos, Chairman of Golf Qld recently.

We were sorry to hear that Hiroshi Hosaka had had a stroke whilst playing golf recently & is now in rehab at Cairns Base Hospital & send him our best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Our next game is at Gordonvale & is a Ted Thomasson single stableford, sponsored by Cairns Total Physio.
