Next Game Babinda 8 Oct

All,

Our game next Tuesday is at Babinda & is a single stableford round counting towards the Patron's Trophy.

Sponsor for the day is Masters Home Improvements.

Tom Stager tells me that he fossicks for lost balls on the course (I think after they have stopped rolling), keeping the poorer quality ones for the juniors & selling the good ones to assist the club, so make sure you use only your best ones for him to find!

See you there.

82 Players

President's Report

66 men & 16 ladies turned up at Atherton on a beautiful cool day for a Consistency event.

The course was in good condition with plenty of run on the fairways & the approaches to the greens were fluffy which made bump & runs tricky. Congratulations to the greens staff.

Thanks to Owen & Debbie for looking after us as usual at the club & to Drummond Golf for sponsoring the day, with their representative Katrin Nash finding time to come up for a game & make the presentations. 

Welcome to visitors Peter Marriott of Taroom & Trevor Sheppard of MacLean.

Next game is at Babinda on 8 Oct, which is a Patron's Trophy single stableford.

Next Game Atherton 1 Oct

All,

I'm back from China after a delay caused by typhoon Usagi which necessitated reticketing - great end to a holiday when all you want to do is get home asap!

Thanks to Roger for maintaining the blog in my absence.  Luckily he did not need to contact me with any problems, as internet in China was a pain & I couldn't even get into the blog to see what was going on - more at Atherton.

Our game next week is at Atherton & I'm told there are no surprises awaiting us in the form of tee/green changes.

See you there.
