President Report & results for Atherton GC 17 Mar 20


PRESIDENT REPORT – ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 17 Mar 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Atherton Golf Club, there were 86 players today consisting of 69 men & 17 ladies. There were five new members, Joe Cox from Atherton, Bruce Hunter from Millaa Millaa, Junju Lee & Suki Jung from Cairns and John Queneau from Bellconnen, welcome to the Vets and good golfing to you all.

The course was in very good condition and the greens were as fast as ever, congrats to the grounds staff. The weather was excellent except for the final couple of holes however, most players finished just in time. Many thanks to Cheryl, Irish & Bob for getting us going on time as well as the refreshments provided throughout the day.

Our sponsor today was BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB, who have once again backed up in 2020 to sponsor the FNQVGA, your sponsorship is much appreciated and many thanks from our members.

It is extremely important that all golfers adhere to the policies from the “experts” regarding the Coronavirus, in particular, no handshaking, no high 5s, no cuddling etc etc, basically no transference of germs to others. We will be able to continue playing golf by being responsible individuals and not letting our guard down as we do our part in containing this horrific disease whilst the world is in lockdown. I noticed many players today doing the elbow jolt and fist pump after the game, lets keep it up people until normality returns.

Advice from Mareeba GC is that they will be holding the Mitsubishi Classic this weekend, Sat 21 & Sun 22 March. Also the Mareeba Open is on 4 & 5th April so call the club to book your tee times for both events.

Bob Billingham will commence taking nominations and fees ($35 per head incl cart) at our next Vets game in two weeks for the 9am shotgun start at the Mirage GC on Fri 29 May, I advise you all to get in early.

The next Vets game will be a single stableford event at Cairns GC in two weeks with a new sponsor Oak Tree Retirement Village, we will resume our normal weekly games from then on as per the 2020 Program.

The next and final Tableland Summer of Golf game for 2020 is at Atherton GC next Tuesday at 0830.

Robin
