Next Game Atherton 26 Apr

All,

Our game next week is another single stableford Consistency event at Atherton.

The game is sponsored by Golf World.

I'm told the course is in good condition as they have not had the rain we have.  Just look out for the temporary second tee about 40m in front of the old one which is being renovated.

See you there.

Louis

President's Report & Results Cairns 19 Apr

Today we played a stableford event at Cairns golf Club and it was very pleasing to see the field starting to increase.There were 108 players (86 men and 22 ladies) competing on a perfect day on a course that has dried out after the weekend rain.

The sponsor for the day was DEBORAH DUFFY ESTATE AGENT and we are thank Deb for the Drummond golf vouchers that the winners and runners up received.

I would like to remind members that the game next week is at Atherton and judging by the excellent condition of the course on the last few visits, it will be well worth getting a carload and making the effort to see for yourself.

Congratulations go to Ruth Yelland for winning the Mareeba Open last weekend against a strong field of low marker ladies. Well done Ruth.

President's Report & Results HMB 12 Apr

Considering the beautiful day, a disappointing field of 68 men and 13 women teed off at Half Moon Bay in the stableford event sponsored by CAZALYS AFL CLUB , the winners taking home Cazalys venue vouchers.  The scores recorded today will count toward the annual Consistency and Savannah cup events.

The winner of the free raffle of a carton of beer donated by Half Moon Bay club was David Jackson.  Remember that you must be at the draw at presentation time to be eligible.

We heard today that our patron Claud Clark has been in hospital but is “on the mend” so we wish him all the best for a speedy return to good health and golf.

Next week the game will be at Cairns and please note that cart hire will be at members prices
