Played on 30th June
at Cairns Golf Club
127 Players


President's Report

94 men & 33 ladies made the most of a lovely cool day to play on a course in great condition.  Works being carried out on the course to repair some of the ravages caused by continual wet weather, which has only just cleared up, did not seem to interfere with play.  Congratulations to the greens staff & thanks to all who played for hitting off on time without being called.  It makes things simpler for the committee & assists the game to flow smoothly.

Welcome to our visitors Michael & Joy Banning, Michael Stone, Peter Edwards, Diane van Eldik, Charlie Brkic, John Eddy, Tony Plant, Henry Kubacki, Ted Taylor, Dave Patrick, Neil Bannerman, Brian & Mick Adams, Graham Hampton, Graham & Trish George, Max Bignell, Marion Thomas & Peter Hansen.  We hope you enjoyed the day, will continue to do so tomorrow & will come & play with us on our usual Tuesday games whilst you are in the area.

Thanks to Drummond Golf for sponsoring the day.  Thanks also to Jess on the bar & the caterers for producing the sandwich platter for the day. Tomorrow there is a lunch provided, so please look out the tickets you were given today for your chosen dish & keep them handy or you may miss out!

The Open continues tomorrow & we have a slightly larger field so please continue to hit off on time as you did today.

There are still tickets available in the progressive raffle for a golf bag, 5 Drummond Golf vouchers & a box of balls, so even if you did not do too well today, why not have a punt in your group tomorrow?.

Draw for FNQ Veterans Open 30 Jun/1 Jul Cairns

CAPTAIN'S WELCOME

I would like to welcome all entrants and their partners to the Far North Queensland Veteran Golfers Association's 36 Hole Open Tournament being held at the Cairns Golf Club. This welcome is especially extended to those of you who have travelled long distances to participate and it is the hope of the FNQVGA that everybody has a great couple of days.

Attached is the draw for the event to played next Monday and Tuesday. You will find that in most cases, you will be playing at approximately the same time on both days. The majority of players who commence on the 1st hole on the Monday will commence play from the 10th on the Tuesday and vice versa. Whilst every endeavour has been made to accommodate your playing requests, please check the time sheets for any variations in your tee-times. Please collect your cards from the Registration desk which will be located inside the Club House.

HANDICAPS. It is essential that all players are aware of their EXACT Golf Link Handicap and use the available Look Up Charts to determine their DAILY handicap. IT IS THE DAILY HANDICAP THAT MUST BE ENTERED ON THE PLAYER'S SCORECARD TO COMPLY WITH RULE 6-2(b). To allow pre-printing of scorecards, all players have been entered into the computer system at Cairns Golf Club using the handicaps supplied by each of you in the Entry Forms you submitted. Every endeavour will be made to check your handicaps prior to you receiving the card. It is the player's responsibility to ensure that they are playing off the correct Daily Handicap on the day and this should be checked as soon as practical prior to the Tournament commencing. If a player's handicap has been increased or decreased, they are required to make a note of that fact on their scorecard prior to its return after the first round. ALL HANDICAPS WILL BE FROZEN FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE TOURNAMENT.

It is requested that, at the conclusion of your round, prior to handing in your card, you enter your score into the computer kiosk in the Clubhouse. All that will be required to be entered is your total Stableford score and the score you had for the last nine holes. Whilst a great many Clubs are now using some form of computer system to process their competitions, there are others that are not. If you have any difficulty or reluctance whatsoever in entering your card, please let one of the people processing the cards know and you will receive assistance. By entering your cards, a live up-to-date Leader Board will be displayed on a T.V. set in the main Bar area.

There will be two Grades for the men and one Grade for women. The Men's Grades will be Division 1, 0-19, Division 2, 20-36. The Committee reserves the right to alter these Divisions on the first day. All ties will be decided by a count-back, last 9, last 6, last 3, and then individual holes back from Hole 18.

Any protests must be submitted to the Match Committee, as soon as practical after the completion of the round.
A full list of CONDITIONS of PLAY will be available at the Registration Desk.

I trust that everyone will have a great time, play great golf and enjoy the company of each other during their rounds and afterwards.

Thanks,
Captain Greg.

FNQVGA.
