RESULTS GORDONVALE TUESDAY 12 NOVEMBER

The Mulgrave sugar mill started operations in 1896 but it took another 54 years before the townsfolk of Gordonvale  developed their own golf course. Ever since then golfers have used the telltale stream of smoke from the mill chimney to tell both the strength and direction of the invariably south-easterly wind. Well not today. The mill stopped crushing last Thursday and there was a lack of that sweet aroma when 48 FNQVGA golfers (39 men and 9 ladies) took on the course at the base of Walsh's Pyramid, or Djarragun if you prefer. The fairways were very hard and very fast, the weather was very hot and the greens were very good. A special tribute to all the Gordonvale workers for the wonderful transformation of the putting surfaces in twelve months.

We had two new members today Cheryl Piccone (well returning actually) and present QVGU president Jeffrey Cruickshank who has relocated from Toowoomba. Welcome to you both.

A new sponsor today Red Rooster and local owner Damon Caldwell. Apparently the Picklebird Burgers (2 chicken tenders, lettuce, tomato, cheese, chipotle pickles & pickle mayo) come highly recommended, but not by my cardiologist. Thanks Damon.
