PRESIDENT REPORT –CAIRNS GOLF CLUB 25 Aug 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game at Cairns GC was a stableford event and there was a massive turnout of 123 players consisting of 97 men & 26 ladies. There were two visitors, Alan Dwyer from Burleigh Heads and Russell Banham from Keperra GC. There were two new members Mike Scott from Qantas GC? and Phil Stace from MossmanGC, welcome to the Vets gents.

The course was in excellent condition and the weather was fantastic. Thanks very much to Brie, Ben & Chloe for getting the big field off and running also Tim (greenkeeper) and his merry men for providing a great course in tip top condition reflected by the great scores below.

Our sponsor today was Cape York Accounting, if anyone requires any financial services or tax done please see the friendly staff at Cape York Accounting, their sponsorship is very much appreciated by our members.

A message to all members please check the 2020 Program on the blog as we have just amended some venues to cater for not playing at HMBGC next month and November. Due to many members requests we have negotiated another game at Mossman GC to be played on 22 Sep 20.

A friendly reminder to all players please sign your card, play off the correct handicap and return your card to the registration desk after each game to ensure your score is recorded.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Millaa Millaa GC and the sponsor will be Drummond Golf, hope to see you all there.

PRESIDENT REPORT –ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 18 Aug 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game at Atherton GC was a stableford event and there were 73 players consisting of 62 men & 11 ladies. There was one visitor again, Alan Dwyer who is here for 1 more week then heads south for more golf. There was one new member John Dunne from Atherton GC, welcome to the Vets John.

The course was in excellent condition and the greens were very fast and slippery, I did hear some stories about 4 & 5 putting, thanks Brendon and crew. Thanks very much to Cheryl, Dave & Irish for getting us out on time. The weather was winterish and very cold early but the sun warmed us up in no time and ended up a brilliant day.

Our sponsor was Stratford Painting Contractors (SPC) and if anyone needs a paint job (big or small) please call Gordon Perry and he will look after you. SPC support us and it would be very much appreciated if we support them in return.

Andrina aired all of the Championship winners and they will be on the blog in the near future for all to see.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Cairns GC and the sponsor will be Cape York Accounting, hope to see you all there.

COVID-19 Procedures for FNQVGA Members

 Hi Members,

Due to all of the COVID-19 activity within Australia & the world at the moment this is a timely reminder of how we should be conducting ourselves when playing in Vets events at all golf clubs on our 2020 Program.

Please use the following as a guideline when attending any of our weekly games;

1.    Sign the club`s COVID-19 sheet when entering the clubhouse.

2.    Complete card including handicap & golflink number.

3.    Proceed to Registration desk and pay for entry into the day`s event.

4.    Because there are limited numbers permitted inside the clubhouse please go outside and have a putt etc etc.

5.    Someone will then advise you of your gaggle and tee position to commence play.

At all times please ensure that you exercise social distancing as we do not want to get any clubs in trouble with the Authorities nor do we want the return of COVID-19 in our Region as golf courses are our "office".

Many thanks for your assistance with the above as it will make everyone`s job a lot easier and we are allowed to continue playing the game we love.

Regards

Robin

PRESIDENT REPORT –GORDONVALE GOLF CLUB 11 Aug 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game at Gordonvale GC was the 2^nd and final round of the 2020 FNQVGA Championships, there were 93 players today consisting of 87 men & 12 ladies. There was one visitor, Alan Dwyer who came back to play with us again, welcome back Al enjoy your 3 week stay.

The course was in excellent condition again and whatever the grounds staff are doing, please keep doing it, well done to all concerned. Thanks very much to Dave & Pete for organising the carts, foodstuffs & refreshments throughout the day. Even though the weather was a little cool early on it turned out to be a perfect winter`s day.

All grades championship winners/ runners up will be presented with respective trophies at our Xmas/Presentation Day at Cairns GC on 01 Dec 20, congrats to all.

Our sponsor was again GOLF WORLD, a very good sponsor to the Vets and a reminder to members when you purchase goods from Golf World please let them know you are from the Vets as they are recording our purchases for their 2021 sponsorship.

I realise that some players have the ability to hit the bridge on 9 at will to get over the drain but today Liz (Secretary) did it with such grace and expectability (probably not a word) it was a joy to watch, she even sent it 50 metres further down the 9^th fairway.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Atherton GC and the sponsor will be Stratford Painting Contractors, hope to see you all there.

President Report & Results Gordonvale 04 Aug 20

PRESIDENT REPORT –GORDONVALE GOLF CLUB 04 Aug 20

Hi Members,

Today`s game at Gordonvale GC was the 1^st round of the 2020 FNQVGA Championships, there were 108 players today consisting of 92 men & 16 ladies. There was one new member, Graham Dooley from Cairns GC, welcome to the Vets Graham. I must say a fantastic rollup considering what is going on in the world at the moment, a very dedicated group of people us Vets.

The course was in excellent condition and I am reliably informed that there are many volunteers as well as the ground staff that contributed to the condition of the course, well done to all concerned. Thanks very much to Belinda for organising the carts, foodstuffs & refreshments throughout the day. For members who have ordered carts please ensure you call to cancel if you are unable to make it as carts are limited. I appreciate whoever ordered the weather as it was first class.

A major talking point today was the position of the pin on the 16^th green, some sad stories were passed on but at the end of the day it was the same for everyone. Even though the game of the day is stroke, you still need to record your stableford scores as well so when Andrina inputs them into Golflink it becomes smooth sailing as it is extremely cumbersome for her to go through cards that have no stableford scores.

Our sponsor today and for the 2^nd round next week is GOLF WORLD, a very good sponsor to the Vets and a reminder to members when you purchase goods from Golf World please let them know you are from the Vets as they are recording our purchases for their 2021 sponsorship.

Next week`s game will be the 2nd round of our championships at Gordonvale GC, for those not playing in the championships please come along and participate in the game of the day.
