For
the “Coasties” the trip up to Atherton started off with fairly
miserable weather coming up the Range but as they got to the vicinity
of Mareeba, things changed very much for the better. However, by the
time they hit Walkamin the weather had deteriorated again to heavy
overcast and misty rain and it stayed that way for the course of the
day. The Tableland people, being used to that type of weather, turned
out in good numbers and the final count for the day was 76 players.
There
were 66 men and 10 ladies who included a new member from Peninsula
Club in Victoria, Adrian Fethers, and a visitor from Bowraville,
Darrell Hughes. A hearty welcome is extended to both of these
players.
The
event today was a Single Stableford and was played as part of our
Consistency Trophy. We give our sincere thanks to STRATFORD
PAINTING CONTRACTORS who were
our sponsors for the day and who provided Woolworths vouchers for the
Winners and Runners Up.
Whilst
the blustery and rainy conditions affected some of the scores, the
stand-out for the day was John Everall who, playing off a 16
handicap, accumulated 46 points. This included birdies on the 8th,
9th,
11th,
and 17th
holes. The 17th
was a classic with his third shot into that very strong and gusty
wind, finishing about 30 centimetres from the hole. Being
8 points ahead of second place, at
one stage we were considering giving him the vouchers for both First
and Runner Up for his effort.
Entries
for the Mirage game on Friday, 6th
July are coming in at a steady rate with 61 confirmed nominations and
7 on the “reserve” list. Remember 88 is the magic cut-off
number.
After
each game, various items of lost property are handed in to Committee
members. Some of it is collected on the day by owners whilst other
items are given to the President who, in the past, has carried them
around until they are collected or after a period of time are
dispensed with. Whilst this
can be
an inconvenience to Committee members, actually
there is no certainty that
the item belongs to one of our Members
and may
have been lost by a local Club member. A decision has been made that
in future, any items such as clubs, wood and iron covers, water
bottles, gloves, et cetera, will be held until the conclusion of the
day’s
presentation and then placed
in the Lost Property Box of the Club at which we are playing.
Obviously, anything of an extremely valuable nature will be handled
in a different, but
appropriate manner, and initially retained by the Committee. Further
inquiries and efforts will be made to ascertain the owner of such
an item, including the find
being advertised on the Blog.
At
the
present time we have on hand a “Retco 27 degree” head cover and
a “Jack Nicklaus” hybrid head cover. Both were handed in at our
last game at Cairns and as
we are playing at Cairns again
next week, unless they
are claimed beforehand, both will go into the Cairns Lost Property.
Yours
in golf,
Greg.
