President's Report

A beautiful cool day brought 50 men & 18 ladies to Babinda for the first round of the Patron’s Trophy. The course was in good condition, although the greens took some getting used to & the drain gobbler fed well and the scores showed it was no pushover!  Congratulations to all the volunteers who maintain the course.  It must be a herculean task in the wet, but your efforts since the recent spell of dry weather were well rewarded & appreciated today.

Thanks to Australian Independent Retirees for sponsoring the day.  Thanks also to the ladies & volunteers who made the cakes & sandwiches for us & manned the bar.

Welcome to visitor Matt Lock of Babinda & new members Barry Vining of Arrowtown NZ, Peter Meyer of Bayview & Tessa Meyer of Half Moon Bay, who being our membership for the year to 267.

Our next game is at Gordonvale & is a Consistency event as well as the 3rd round of the Grand Slam comp introduced this year (see earlier blog posts).

We are arranging another training session on the defibrillator on 28 July.  If anyone want to come along, please contact me so we can give St John Ambulance an idea of numbers.
