Next Game Babinda 4 Oct

All,

Our game next week is a single stableford at Babinda.

This is the final round of the Patron's Trophy, which has already had 2 rounds washed out & one truncated, so let's hope for decent weather!

The day is sponsored by Cape York Accounting.

See you there.

Secretary's Report

In the absence of Pres. Roger, below is my report. Thanks to Sue for acting at presentations in his place & to the club for catering & bar service.

Despite the great weather we had a disappointing field of 67 men & 16 ladies for the last of our Consistency events. Captain Russ should have the full trophy results out shortly & we live in hope of decent weather for the final round of the Patron's trophy at Babinda next week.

The course was in great condition with decent run, the greens fast & some pins in tricky positions to keep us on our toes. Welcome to visitor Phil Thompson from Balgal golf club.

The day was sponsored by Deb Duffy Real Estate & we thank her for her support.

Our next game is a single stableford at Babinda & no doubt the club will have a cheat sheet with the distances to the various drains as usual. Also, if anyone is taking a buggy & will have a spare seat, please let us know, as we have someone interested in playing who is unable to walk & the club only has one buggy available.

President's Report & Results Mareeba 20 Sep

Todays’ event was a single stableford with the results counting toward the Consistency Trophy. The field was a disappointing 64 men and 19 women. 

The Mareeba course is beginning to dry out on the fairways so there was plenty of distance to be gained on drives which is pleasing for us oldies.

Our sponsor today is SAVANNAH LIFESTYLE RESORTS and I would like to thank them for the vouchers the winners and runners up received as well as the presentations to the interim winners of the Savannah Cup.

Next Game Mareeba 20 Sep

All,

Our game next week is a single stableford Consistency event at Mareeba.  I'm told the course is fine with no unusual hazards.  (The final round for the Consistency trophy will be held at Cairns the week after.)

The game is sponsored by Savannah Lifestyle Resorts & the winners & runners up of the second quarter ending in August of the Savannah Cup will also be presented on that day.  That will leave two months for you to sprint to the finish of that particular event, which concludes at the end of October.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Gordonvale 13 Sep

Today we played a stableford event at the Gordonvale club and it was the penultimate round of the Consistency Trophy, with the last round being at Mareeba next week.

The rain yesterday and overnight was obviously enough to give the less dedicated golfers cold feet, but they were the losers as the rain eased around 7.00 AM and those more robust individuals who decided to play were treated to an excellent day for golf. The numbers were 55 men and 9 women.

The sponsor for today was BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB and I remind the lucky winners that the vouchers can be used at either Brothers or Fuller Sports.

I also remind members that the season is nearing its end and as usual our AGM is in early November so if you enjoy being involved in our club you may like to consider a position on our committee. When one looks at the average age of our current committee it is obvious that some younger “blood” would be an advantage for the long term health of our club.

RESULTS

MENS DIV1 WINNER; Garry Long 35 points c/b.

RUNNER UP; Garry Castle 35 points.

MENS DIV2 WINNER; Graham Real 39 points.

Next Game Gordonvale 13 Sep

All,

Our next game is a single stableford event & the last qualifying for the Ted Thommasson trophy.

It is sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.

The course is in good condition, but drains still have plenty of rough at the bottom & some water by the bridges.

See you there.

Secretary's Report

In the absence of Pres Roger, who is getting another eye op, below is my report. I'm sure all will wish him well & a speedy return, especially Greg Gibb to whom he gave all his Presidential stuff.

Perhaps because of the late change of venue after lousy weather reports from Millaa Millaa, we had a poor field of only 37 players at Gordonvale, 29 men & 8 ladies, so only one grade was awarded for the men.

Thanks to Gordonvale for hosting us at such short notice. The course was in good condition with the greens improving gradually.

The day was sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club & we thank them for their support.

Our next game is a single stableford, again at Gordonvale, so those playing today should have an advantage!

Millaa Millaa Game CANCELLED, Gordonvale Instead

All,

We've been advised the weather at Millaa is atrocious today, with the forecast for more of the same tomorrow, so the game there is cancelled.

We have arranged a game at GORDONVALE instead, as it is in good condition with the drains clear of water (at this stage anyway) except around the bridges.  However, there is rough at the bottom of them, so they are best avoided!  The greens are also improving.

See you there.

Next Game Millaa Millaa 6 Sep

All,

Our game next week is at Millaa Millaa, so hopefully the weather will be kind for a change.

It is a Patron's Trophy round & a single stableford.  (You will no doubt be glad to hear we have no more stroke rounds this year!)

Sponsor for the day is Brothers Leagues Club, but Bob Billingham has kindly added some further interest by donating balls to be awarded for:
-  half doz balls to NTP from off the green on the 3^rd /12^th, 
-  least putts for the round, 
-  longest putt holed on 9^th/18^th, 
-  the NAGA.

See you there.
