Next Game Babinda 13 Nov

All,

The next game is at Babinda on Tuesday.

It is the final round of the Patron's trophy, but even if you missed playing at Millaa, Babinda is a nice little 9 hole course with some challenging holes, so roll up & have a great day.

Wal Anthony has again donated 3 tables he made for prizes, of different pattern to last year's, which looked fantastic.

Cheers, Louis

President's Report

We didn't have as good a field as normal, probably because of the game being on a Monday to avoid Melbourne Cup, but 85 Men & 18 Ladies enjoyed a beautiful day with the course in good condition with plenty of run.

Many thanks to TGT Hardware for sponsoring the day & to Jenny for the catering.

Welcome to visitors Rob Blackman from Maryborough, Fay Hayles of Half Moon Bay, Gordon Redding & Del Spicer of Mareeba.

Our game next Tuesday is a single stableford at Babinda, which is the final round of the Patron's Trophy.  Wal Anthony has generously donated tables again for the first prizes, but different models from last year.

As I will be at the Veteran Golfers Nationals on Mornington Peninsular, Claud Clark will be kindly standing in for me, ably supported by Colin Johannsen, Col McDowall & Russ Gill, although he may 'volunteer' some others!

We are still looking for someone to act as Treasurer next year, as Col McDowall is standing down after 9 years in various committee positions.  As you know, this is a most important position & nominations are required by 13 Nov, ie handed in at Babinda, or sent to my email by midnight that day (lsiedle@gmail.com). 

Please give some thought about taking on this job.  You will be ably supported by Col & others if you need time off for any reason.

Next Game HMB 30 Oct

All,

Our game next Tuesday is at Half Moon Bay golf club & is sponsored by the club.

I've been advised that the greens were cored a week or so ago & have just been top dressed.  Apart from that the course will no doubt be like most in the area, a bit dry with plenty of run to help you into trouble spots you haven't seen for some time!

See you there.

Louis

President's Report

Having just returned from my Rhine cruise I'd like to thank all those committee members who kept things going seamlessly without me, but particularly June who, in addition to her duties as Secretary, managed to get the results out promptly & emailed to me so I could keep the blog up to date & who also continued updating the prize sheets.  

We had a good field of 57 men & 11 ladies for the first round of the Patron's Trophy, which is contested over the two 9 hole courses we play during the year. 

The course was in good condition with plenty of run & the greens had some interesting breaks. Congratulations to the volunteers who maintain the course & thanks to the ladies who did a sterling job of catering.

The day was sponsored by FNQVGA.

Welcome to visitors Fred Cirrani of Millaa Millaa & Fay Hayles of Half Moon Bay.

Our next game is a single stableford at Half Moon Bay, sponsored by HMB golf club.

Look forward to seeing you there.
