Presidents Report

This report is brought to you via Patron Claud who kindly filled in for me whilst I'm toiling in WA with the bulk of the committee, (unfortunately not very effectively in my case).  Thanks Claud, Col, Noel & others for seeing things ran smoothly in our absence.

A field of 76 men and 14 ladies played on a dry Mareeba course with plenty of run and players were delighted with the length of their drives. Some of the greens were disappointing but the new greenkeeper is working on it and they should improve quickly.

Thanks to TGT Hardware for their ongoing sponsorship of our games at Mareeba. Thanks also to Raylene Bradley for providing a range of quality food for hungry players.

Welcome to visitors Charlie Berwick and Tony Lovatt of Mareeba and Ross Ellen of Gordonvale. Our membership stands at 299.

Unfortunately another good score failed to win a prize when Captain Greg had no option but to disqualify a player for failing to sign his card.

Our next game is at Half Moon Bay on Tuesday 18^th November and with the course in first class condition we expect a large field of players.
