President's Report

A reasonable field of 87 men and 17 ladies turned up on a beautiful clear, but hot, day for a single stableford on a course in good condition with plenty of run on the fairways &good greens. Congratulations to the greens staff. I expect the heat contributed to the ordinary scores as there was little breeze to cool us off & many were seeking the shade in the trees, or at least that was their excuse.

Welcome to visitor Geoff Harmer & new member Peter Opio-Otim from Gordonvale.

Thanks to Drummond Golf for sponsoring the day, the caterers for their usual great burgers & the bar staff for looking after us.

Not all the committee are back from WA & unfortunately no major trophies will be coming back either.  However, Darryl deClifford was runner up in C Grade & Allan Dwyer managed a nearest the pin.   (The NTP prize was 2 bottles of wine which Allan left with Darryl to bring back as he is motoring.  I imagine the evaporation rate across the Nullabor will be significant!)

Please note, next week is our AGM at Gordonvale starting at 8am sharp. There is a shotgun start at 8.30 after the AGM & the event is a 4BBB stableford. Presentations of annual trophies will take place after the game, so if you can, please stay on for those.

Next Game Half Moon Bay 18 Nov

All,

Our next game is a single stableford at Half Moon Bay sponsored by Drummond golf.  If you want info on how the course is playing, please contact the club as we're all still away, but I expect it will be fine as usual.

Most of your committee will be back on board & hopefully playing well after our hard work in WA & at least we shouldn't need sweaters.!

See you there.

Presidents Report and Results

Of the Single Stableford Competition

Played on 11^th November

At Mareeba Golf Club

90 Players

Presidents Report

This report is brought to you via Patron Claud who kindly filled in for me whilst I'm toiling in WA with the bulk of the committee, (unfortunately not very effectively in my case).  Thanks Claud, Col, Noel & others for seeing things ran smoothly in our absence.

A field of 76 men and 14 ladies played on a dry Mareeba course with plenty of run and players were delighted with the length of their drives. Some of the greens were disappointing but the new greenkeeper is working on it and they should improve quickly.

Thanks to TGT Hardware for their ongoing sponsorship of our games at Mareeba. Thanks also to Raylene Bradley for providing a range of quality food for hungry players.

Welcome to visitors Charlie Berwick and Tony Lovatt of Mareeba and Ross Ellen of Gordonvale. Our membership stands at 299.

Unfortunately another good score failed to win a prize when Captain Greg had no option but to disqualify a player for failing to sign his card.

Our next game is at Half Moon Bay on Tuesday 18^th November and with the course in first class condition we expect a large field of players.

Most of the committee are away in WA for the Veteran Golfers National Championships & Claud, Col & Noel will be looking after things in our absence, so please behave yourselves!

See you the week after at HMB.

79 Players

President's Report

A rather poor field of 60 men and 19 ladies turned up on a beautiful clear day for a single stableford on our pre Melbourne Cup Monday game.  The course had plenty of run on the fairways & although the greens were a bit slow, they were better than they have been for some time. Congratulations to the greens staff & volunteers for the efforts they have been putting in.

Thanks to Drummond Golf for sponsoring the day, Tom Bryce & Graham Real for doing up the board & getting the nearest the pins ready & the bar staff for looking after us.

Good to see Gino Busoli from Gordonvale coming for a game.  Congratulations to Lily Schirmer for her Eagle on the 2nd.  I apologise to the ladies for not picking up that they only had 2 NTPs out & will try to do better in future!

Our next game is at Mareeba, but as all the committee apart from Vice Capt Russ are away representing the FNQVGA at the Nationals in WA (it’s gunna be hard but we’ll do our best!), some previous committee members have kindly agreed to fill the gaps.  Patron Claud is standing in for me, Col McDowall for Treasurer Di with Noel Webster assisting & perhaps a couple of others.  Claud will be emailing me the results, so I hope to have them up on the blog & to the paper as usual that evening, but if they are a bit late, please bear with us.

Next Game Gordonvale 3 Nov

All,

Our next game is on MONDAY (pre Melb Cup) at Gordonvale.

It is a single stableford sponsored by Drummond Golf.

The course has plenty of run & the drains should be no problem except around the bridges where there's some thicker rough.

See you there.
