President's Report & Results Babinda 15 Aug

Babinda failed miserably to live up to its reputation as one of the wettest towns in the country when it turned on a beautiful sunny day for us today. We had 82 players (66 men and 16 ladies) for the second round of the Patrons Trophy. 

82 players on a 9 hole course makes the round a little slow but I must say that I have come to regard vets as much as a social outing as a golf event and when we were waiting on a tee there was always fun and laughter with some of the great friends I have made through our club.

I must say that I was very remiss in my after the game speech for not properly thanking the members and helpers of the Babinda club for their efforts in making the day a success. Many will not realize that the club only have around 15 or so members and so on a day such as today it is ”all hands on deck”.  The result was a warm welcome,great food and a course that was a credit to the club.

The sponsor today was WAL ANTHONY proprietor of HERETAGE CABINETS, and also our vice captain who made two beautiful occasional tables for the winners and supplied a box of balls each for the runners up. Because there was a large field today there were 2 grades of men but as Wal himself won Div 1 the 2 prizes were enough.
