President's Report & Results Mareeba 20 Sep

Todays’ event was a single stableford with the results counting toward the Consistency Trophy. The field was a disappointing 64 men and 19 women. 

The Mareeba course is beginning to dry out on the fairways so there was plenty of distance to be gained on drives which is pleasing for us oldies.

Our sponsor today is SAVANNAH LIFESTYLE RESORTS and I would like to thank them for the vouchers the winners and runners up received as well as the presentations to the interim winners of the Savannah Cup.

Next Game Mareeba 20 Sep

All,

Our game next week is a single stableford Consistency event at Mareeba.  I'm told the course is fine with no unusual hazards.  (The final round for the Consistency trophy will be held at Cairns the week after.)

The game is sponsored by Savannah Lifestyle Resorts & the winners & runners up of the second quarter ending in August of the Savannah Cup will also be presented on that day.  That will leave two months for you to sprint to the finish of that particular event, which concludes at the end of October.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Gordonvale 13 Sep

Today we played a stableford event at the Gordonvale club and it was the penultimate round of the Consistency Trophy, with the last round being at Mareeba next week.

The rain yesterday and overnight was obviously enough to give the less dedicated golfers cold feet, but they were the losers as the rain eased around 7.00 AM and those more robust individuals who decided to play were treated to an excellent day for golf. The numbers were 55 men and 9 women.

The sponsor for today was BROTHERS LEAGUES CLUB and I remind the lucky winners that the vouchers can be used at either Brothers or Fuller Sports.

I also remind members that the season is nearing its end and as usual our AGM is in early November so if you enjoy being involved in our club you may like to consider a position on our committee. When one looks at the average age of our current committee it is obvious that some younger “blood” would be an advantage for the long term health of our club.

Next Game Gordonvale 13 Sep

All,

Our next game is a single stableford event & the last qualifying for the Ted Thommasson trophy.

It is sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club.

The course is in good condition, but drains still have plenty of rough at the bottom & some water by the bridges.

See you there.

Secretary's Report

In the absence of Pres Roger, who is getting another eye op, below is my report. I'm sure all will wish him well & a speedy return, especially Greg Gibb to whom he gave all his Presidential stuff.

Perhaps because of the late change of venue after lousy weather reports from Millaa Millaa, we had a poor field of only 37 players at Gordonvale, 29 men & 8 ladies, so only one grade was awarded for the men.

Thanks to Gordonvale for hosting us at such short notice. The course was in good condition with the greens improving gradually.

The day was sponsored by Brothers Leagues Club & we thank them for their support.

Our next game is a single stableford, again at Gordonvale, so those playing today should have an advantage!

Millaa Millaa Game CANCELLED, Gordonvale Instead

All,

We've been advised the weather at Millaa is atrocious today, with the forecast for more of the same tomorrow, so the game there is cancelled.

We have arranged a game at GORDONVALE instead, as it is in good condition with the drains clear of water (at this stage anyway) except around the bridges.  However, there is rough at the bottom of them, so they are best avoided!  The greens are also improving.

See you there.
