President's Report

Although it was the Monday before Melbourne Cup, 82 men & 20 ladies turned up to a beautiful day with a pleasant breeze at Gordonvale. No doubt a number of members forgot & will turn up tomorrow for their usual Tuesday game!

Recent rain greened up the course slightly & it was in good condition with plenty of run on the fairways but, as expected, plenty of leaves as well to hide errant balls. The greens had also improved a lot from our previous visit & the course condition was reflected in the scores. Congratulations to the recently hired greenkeeper & volunteers.

Thanks to Kim & Justin for looking after us as usual & Cazalys for sponsoring the day. Thanks also to Colin Johannsen for running a Cup sweep. 4 blocs totalling 98 horses were sold & the results will be posted to this blog, with the cash held for the winner ($30), second & third ($10 each) available for collection next week.

The game next Tuesday is at Mareeba & is a single stableford, sponsored by TGT Hardware.

By the way, our Treasurer has reminded me that the new financial year has just started, so she is accepting membership renewals at registration over the next few games so you can avoid the leaner period after Xmas!    

Also, we are accepting nominations for committee membership & I will post the nomination forms on this blog shortly.  However, if you are eager to serve, we will have some available at registration too, or you can contact Secretary June & she will email one to you.

Next Game Gordonvale MONDAY 4 Nov

All,

Our game next week is on MONDAY, thereby allowing you plenty of time to get your bets on for the Melbourne Cup the day after.

The comp is a single stableford & the day is sponsored by Cazalys.

I'm advised the course is in good condition & a new greenkeeper has recently started.  From the look of the fairways along the road there will be plenty of run on them, but I expect that the dry spell will have seen plenty of leaves deposited in the rough, so you'll just have to hit it straight!

See you there.

President's Report

A beautiful day with a pleasant breeze brought 78 men & 14 ladies to Atherton. The course was in good condition with plenty of run on the fairways although the greens confused with either some unexpected breaks or none at all when some were expected. However, scores were good in general.  Congratulations to the greens staff.

Thanks to Owen & Debbie for looking after us as usual & the club for sponsoring the day.

Welcome to visitors Wally Alston of Tambo Valley, Ross Ellen, guest & Peter Marriott of Taroom.

Congratulations to Thomas Stager for a hole in one at the 18th.

Next game is at Gordonvale on the MONDAY before the Melbourne Cup, ie on 4 Nov, which is a single stableford.

Next Game Atherton 29 Oct

All,

Our game next week is at Atherton & is a single stableford.

As all our main trophy events are over, we are busy collating results & arranging trophy engraving, so you can relax, enjoy the day & probably play better than you do normally!

I'm told the course is in good condition with no unusual surprises awaiting us & I'm sure Debbie will be preparing her usual excellent sandwiches for lunch.

See you there.

President's Report & Results

of the Single Stableford Competition

Played on 22^nd October

at Millaa Millaa Golf Club

55 Players

President's Report

Although nothing much was showing up on the weather chart, many members must have woken up, heard the rain & decided to stay in bed, as only 45 men & 10 ladies turned up at Millaa Millaa for our final Patron's Trophy event, so there was only one division awarded for each. However, although we got wet, it was at least not as cold & windy as the last time we played there.

The course was in good condition with the rain slowing the greens considerably & taking a bit of run off the fairways although the ball sat up well on them. Congratulations to the volunteers who maintain the course.

Thanks to Warren Afflick for putting out the NTPs for us & to the ladies for making up plenty of tasty sandwiches for us. We needed them & hot tea & coffee at the break & after.

The sponsors for the day were Masters Home Improvements for the men & Cazalys for the ladies.

Welcome to visitor John Stimpson of Wondai.

This game was the last of our various trophy competitions. The remainder of the games for the year will be single stablefords, apart from the Xmas breakup game on 3 Dec, which is a 2 ball Ambrose.

Next game is at Atherton on 29 Oct. Fingers crossed for a fine day.
