President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 26 Sep

PRESIDENT''S REPORT AND RESULTS – HALF MOON BAY – 26^th September

Hi All,

I am writing this on behalf of President Roger who was tied up on “Poppy” duties today and although he was at HMB at Registration, could not stay.

We had an average field for Half Moon Bay of 89 members and visitors, consisting of 72 men and 17 ladies. We had 4 new members join today, Maurie Smith and Bill Matthews from Cairns, Tony Neilson from HMB and Arthur Buckley from Paradise Palms. Dick Underwood from HMB played as a visitor. The new members bring our total membership to 237, consisting of 184 men and 53 ladies.

Today's event was sponsored by COMPLETE HEALTH AND FITNESS SOLUTIONS and we were lucky to have one of the principals of the company, Scott Payne, play with us. It is always a pleasure to have any of our sponsors join us for a game, so we can gain some rapport rather than them being just a faceless entity. Scott was called away prior to presentation and although he tried to return to present the trophies could not get back in time. When he did return, he added three additional trophies to his sponsorship. These consisted of vouchers for the winners in the three Divisions and entitle the recipient to an Initial Assessment and a One month Exercise Studio Membership. Scott was saying he has a new laser machine that treats muscles tears, etc., and Captain Russ, who has had the treatment used on his hamstring which he injured at Millaa Millaa, swears by it.

The course was in excellent condition and is a credit to the Grant, the Course Superintendent and his staff. Again our thanks go to Greg Ferry, the Manager for donating a case of beer for our free raffle. The staff in the Golf Shop were very efficient in looking after the influx of our members from 6.30am on. Thanks also go to Mike McManus and Gordon Noble for the preparation of those succulent hamburgers. It's hard to comprehend why we are not getting the numbers at HMB that we used to get a year or so go. Perhaps when the Members' Survey goes out later in the year we may get some answers.

The tickets in the Beer Raffle were handed out by one of our Committee, Andrina Wilson, who then tore the remaining butts out, placed them in the ice bucket for the draw and then drew out the winning ticket who was (Drum Roooollllll), ANDRINA WILSON !! Although there were a number of disbelieving catcalls I can vouch that everything was above board. Trust me, I'm a former Police Officer.

Next game will be at at Royal Babinda and will be the final Round of the Patron's Trophy which is for the best aggregate Stableford score returned over the four rounds held at the two 9 Hole courses, Babinda and Millaa Millaa.

See you there,

GRG

Next Game Half Moon Bay 26 Sep

All,

 Our game next week is a single stableford Consistency event at Half Moon Bay.

I'm told the greens have recently been renovated & are in great condition.  The course is too after the rain this week, which has all drained well.

The game is sponsored by Complete Health & Fitness Solutions & Scott will be there for you to discuss about what he can offer to get you in peak condition.

See you there.

Results Cairns 19 Sep

Rained off.

With fairways awash, it seemed no-one had brought their wellies or felt like venturing out!

Next Game Cairns 19 Sep

All,

Our next game is a single stableford Consistency event at Cairns.

The game is sponsored as usual at Cairns by Deb Duffy Estate Agent.

Hopefully, the forecast wet weather will not eventuate before then & we can almost guarantee fast greens.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Gordonvale 12 Sep

Today was a single stableford at Gordonvale Golf Club. The dry weather has taken its toll on the fairways so there was plenty of run to be had and many of us oldies felt young again when we saw how far some of our shots went. Despite the dryness there is a good mat of grass to play from so it was win,win. The greens continue to improve every time we visit so congratulations to the geeenskeeper for his great work. Thanks also to Tom Bryce for preparing the whiteboard and Belinda for her work behind the bar and in the clubhouse.

We had a field of 69 men and 21 ladies competing in what was the final round of the Ted Thomasson Trophy so, as always, time marches on!!

The sponsor today was one of our own members Allan Dredge and his wife Carmelina who are the proprietors of STACK-A-POTS VERTICAL GARDENS NQ . The winners today received a MIDI PLANTER, which is a stack of 3 planters (sure to have gladdened my wifes heart if only I was a better golfer). Runners up got a voucher from Gordonvale bakery, famous for their pies and sausage rolls.

Anyone interested in seeing the whole range of Stack-A-Pots can visit Allan and Carmelina at 17-19 Stanley street Gordonvale.

Next Game Gordonvale 12 Sep

All,

Our game next week is a single stableford round at Gordonvale.  It is the last round for the Ted Thomasson trophy.

The game is sponsored by Stackapots Vertical Gardens NQ, owned by one of our members, Allan Dredge & the prizes last time were very much appreciated.

The course is in fine condition with plenty of run & greens looking the best for years.  However, as usual, beware the drains, which have been mowed, but still have some thick rough in them affording some innocent amusement for your partners if you go in!

See you there.

Louis

PS For those of you looking for a game at a more exotic location during our quiet time early next year, check out the Norfolk Island Golf Club’s annual Veterans Golf tournament running from 12 to 16 February 2018, 3 age groups over 3 days.  Details can be found at www.norfolkislandtravelcentre.com.

President's Report & Results Millaa Millaa 5 Sep

It was another magnificent day for golf at Millaa Millaa so it was a great disappointment that only 38 men and 8 ladies turned up for a game. The course was still quite green but there was plenty of run on the fairways and downhill putts were a thing to be feared. 

For those of you who missed out on a game today the Millaa Millaa Open is to be held on the weekend of 16/17^th September so I suggest you contact the club for a spot on the timesheet.

Today was the third round of the Patrons Trophy with the final round being at Babinda on 3^rd October.

Next week we play Gordonvale and the sponsor will be Stack a Pots Vertical Gardens which was a popular and sought after prize earlier in the year & owned by Allan Dredge, one of our members.

The sponsor today was CAPE YORK ACCOUNTING and I want to thank them for the Golf World vouchers presented to the winners and runners up.

RESULTS.
