President's Report & Results Cairns 10 May

Today 77 men and 18 women played in the first round of the Ted Thomasson Memorial Shield at the Cairns golf Club and found the course in excellent condition after the weekend open tournament, and the autumn day was also a joy for those out on the fairways.

The Ted Thomasson Memorial Shield is awarded at the presentation day to the player having the best three aggregate stableford scores from the five nominated rounds.

The sponsor today is DEBORAH DUFFY ESTATE AGENT and I wish to thank Deb for the support she gives to our association. The prizes today were vouchers from the Cairns club proshop.

We are pleased to welcome two new members to our ranks. They are Gordon Noble and Timothy Hollman who are both from Half Moon Bay club.

Just a reminder that next week we play a 4 ball aggregate at Mareeba. This means that although you are playing with a partner, both scores count on every hole and you will still be handicapped on your individual performance.
