Mareeba 1 Feb

Veteran Golfers

Mareeba is on tomorrow (1 Feb)!

I have just spoken with Kevin Moore at Mareeba, Kevin assures me the course is in good condition, the only wet spots are the lateral and water hazards.

The  volunteers are out grooming the course for tomorrow, so it is full steam ahead!!!!

Come out for a game tomorrow as we might not be out for a while if this next cyclone hits anywhere near us.

See you there

Regards

Ross

Happy New Year

Veteran Golfers

I hope you have enjoyed the festive season and ready to play Veterans Golf.  Tuesday 1^st February is the first game for 2011 and is being played at Mareeba Golf Club. Inside sources tell me the course is quite dry with some  water in the hazards. So it sounds good and if the weather is kind to us should be a great day.

As you probably are aware the Vets play fortnightly until April , then weekly for the rest of the year.

This message will be displayed on our blog as will all messages and results. The blog is  http://fnqveteransgolf.blogspot.com/

 

As I write this, there is talk of a possible cyclone late in the weekend, I will hopefully inform you again on Monday to what the situation is with Mareeba.

I would also ask those members who know other members not on email to inform them of the message particularly cancellations.

Looking forward to a good years golfing with the Vets

Regards

Ross Bird

President's Message 14th December 2010

The sun came out and really turned the heat up on the 114 golfers who played the 2 person Ambrose. While the condition of the course was quite wet in places, the overall condition was very good considering the rain we have experienced lately.

The event was sponsored by Easylift, the prizes were great and plenty of them. Thank you Easylift, Jeff and Carly Hatswell!

We completed our season with the Presentation of trophies played for throughout the year and a lunch to celebrate the end of our year. Congratulations to all the winners.

Next season starts up in about 6 weeks time, the first game at Mareeba on the 1^stFebruary 2011.

Thank you to all the members who supported us during the year, we had large fields playing in our competitions.

Thank you to the Committee, who gave up so much of their time to ensure the year ran smoothly without any problems.

On behalf of the Committee I would like to wish everyone of you a “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” and safe travel wherever you may venture.

Regards

Ross Bird
