PRESIDENT
REPORT – CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 03 Dec 19
Hi
Members,
Today`s
game was our final game for 2019 and was a single stableford at
Cairns Golf Club, there were 112 players today consisting of 87 men &
25 ladies. The course and weather were absolutely perfect albeit it
was a little bit hot but everyone reported back as a great final
game.
Our
sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF, their support to the Vets for
2019 has been invaluable and much appreciated by all FNQVGA members.
Darren has already agreed to back up again as a 2020 sponsor, many
thanks Darren at Drummond Golf Cairns.
The
luncheon was prepared to perfection and served by Chloe, Jo &
their team, excellent was the only feedback I received from our
members. Well done to the staff at Cairns Golf Club for providing us
with not only a great venue but a fantastic & timely lunch after
the game.
Today
also included the presentations to all of the 2019 trophy winners as
attached to the blog last week. We had a very special guest today,
Harold Gibbins who turned 100 a couple of weeks ago and was greeted
by many familiar faces as well as a reporter & photographer from
the Cairns Post, check out the Post this week. Harold drew some lucky
raffle winners out of a hat and had a ball seated alongside an old
friend and ex FNQVGA Secretary Shirley Fieldhouse as well as our
Patron Claud Clarke. Harold`s own words to me were “what a
fantastic day, I could not have imagined a better day”, likewise
from us Harold.
A
shout out to all of our sponsors, Drummond Golf, Cazaly`s, Brothers,
Reef Casino, Stack-A-Pots (Al), Cape York Accounting, Stratford
Painting Contractor (Gordo), HMBGC, Babinda GC (Capt Wal) and Golf
World who have supported us during 2019, our members thank you all.
Finally
I would like to thank our Committee who have worked tirelessly all
year to provide all FNQVGA members with a weekly game at one of our
“local” golf clubs, thanks team excellent job and all the best to
Captain Wal who is currently working on escaping from hospital to get
back to Babinda where he feels safe. Have a couple of months off team
and a Merry Christmas, safe & Happy New Year to everyone.
The
Tableland Summer of Golf commences next week and the first game is at
Atherton GC at 0830. These games are run by the clubs themselves and
we return on Tuesday 04 Feb 2020, the 2020 Program will be on the
blog in the near future as we are just waiting for responses from our prospective sponsors.
