President's Report & Results Mareeba 22 Aug

Today was the first round of our Championships and as usual Mareeba put on perfect weather for the occasion, even though the locals would like to see a few good rainy days. As we have been doing for a few years we treated you to snacks and nibbles after the game and asked Gabi to put something together and she bettered even her own high standard, thank you Gabi and your 2I/C Jon.

94 men and 16 women tackled the course today and judging by the scores returned the dry conditions helped many of you.

The sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF and we thank them for the store vouchers awarded to the winners and runners up in each grade.

It is our policy to decide the grade cutoffs for our championships in a way that makes numbers in the grades about equal, so the halfway results will be available in a printout when we return for round 2 next week. In the interim the day event today was decided on nett stroke in our usual 2 men's grades & 1 ladies grade.

Next weekend is the 2 day Babinda Open so if you enjoyed the game there and the friendly atmosphere last Tuesday, you can download an entry form from the FNQ website. You can reach this from the LINKS list at the bottom of the left column on this page.
