Atherton Game Moved to Mareeba

All,

Sorry for the late notice, but Atherton has advised they've had more rain overnight & the course is very slippery & too wet for buggies, so they suggested we move to another venue.

Accordingly we've moved the game tomorrow to Mareeba.  If you know anyone who does not have internet, please let them know.

Mareeba have limited buggies available as they have some booked already for a late morning game, so get in early if you want one.

Next Game Atherton 17 Jun

All,

Our game on Tuesday is a single stableford at Atherton, sponsored by Cazalys AFL.

They have a major comp on this weekend & the whole course has been in play, so the course should be in good condition.

The weather looks like it is improving a bit, so see you there.

President's Report

After a dreadful 2 days of rain, a cool day dawned with hardly a cloud in the sky and the faithful 46 men & 6 ladies who turned up enjoyed a course in good condition, quite dry underfoot, with rough & airways mown & greens improving.  Congratulations to the greenkeeper & all the volunteers.  

The wimps who stayed away thinking the course would be virtually unplayable missed a good day, so let that be a lesson to you!

Thanks to Tom Bryce for doing the board for us & Manager Phil for getting the NTPs out & looking after us.  Thanks also to Kennedys Betta Electrical for sponsoring the day.

Welcome to new member Hugh Gillard of Millaa Millaa, bringing our total for the year to date up to 234.

Also, another reminder that our Open is fast approaching & entries close on 17th June, so if you intend to play on either or both days, you need to get your entry forms from June at registration, or print one off from this blog - see the right column.

Our next game is a single stableford at Atherton sponsored by Cazalys AFL.

Next Game Gordonvale 10 Jun

All,

Our game next Tuesday is at Gordonvale & is a 4Ball Multiplier, sponsored by Kennedy's Betta Electrical.

Choose your partner carefully, as you can make & loose friends quickly in this game!

It is played as a 4 ball stableford, with both scores recorded for a hole, then multiplied together to give a total.  So if one partner scores a 4 pointer on a hole & the other scores a 2 pointer, the total for the hole is 8 (4x2=8).  However, if the other wipes the hole the score is 0 (4x0=0)!

I'm told the course is in good condition, but water persists in the drains.

See you there.
