PRESIDENT REPORT – GORDONVALE GOLF CLUB 26 Nov 19

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a 4BBB stableford event at Gordonvale Golf Club, there were 93 players today consisting of 72 men & 21 ladies. There were two visitors, Nick & Rhonda Bannerman from Belmont NSW. Today we had two new members, Keith Winstanley from Cairns GC and Vince Agius from Gordonvale GC welcome to the Vets gents. The weather was sensational and the course was in great condition albeit very hard off the fairways, however, the greens were in very good shape and it showed that the greens staff have been working hard to get the course back into shape, well done guys. Thanks to Kim for getting us going on time and for looking after the multitude of players immediately after the game as it was a shotgun start as most players finished simultaneously and flooded the bar.

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO which was their final sponsored game for this year and their support throughout 2019 has been invaluable and much appreciated by all FNQVGA members. REEF CASINO “the only place to play”.

The 2019 FNQVGA AGM was conducted prior to the game with all committee members being returned for 2020 except for the outgoing Secretary Louis Siedle who has been a pillar of strength for over 10 years on the committee, we thank you Louis from the bottom of our hearts and wish you well for the future in particular the current medical issues facing you. Our new Secretary is Liz Edmonds aka “the sheriff”, welcome Liz and I know you will fit in with the committee perfectly. Congratulations to all committee members for electing to serve another year, a great team to work with. The membership fee of $10 will remain for 2020 however, weekly green fees will go up to $17 next year as some clubs have lifted their fees.

Next weeks game will be our final game for 2019 and it will be our Xmas break up and Presentation day, a 0730 shotgun start, single stableford game at CAIRNS GC and our sponsor will be Drummond Golf, hope to see you all there. The cost for the day will be $25 per head which includes a very nice Xmas luncheon immediately after the game. This is our opportunity to thank our sponsors in person as we should have some of them attending the lunch. Please ensure that you have registered and are ready to play by 0715 so the shotgun start of 0730 can be achieved, lunch has been ordered for 1200 ish. The registration desk will be manned by 0630.

The Tableland Summer of Golf schedule is now on our website and all golfers are welcome as these games are managed by the clubs themselves until the Vets return early Feb.
