Next Game Millaa Millaa 18 July

All,

Our next game is the first round of our Patron's Trophy at Millaa Millaa & is the first of the 4 rounds at the two 9 hole courses we play.

The game is a single stableford & I expect the course will be well presented as usual.

Our sponsor for the day is Golf World Cairns.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Gordonvale 11 July

Today was a single stableford event at the Gordonvale club. The weather was a little windy later in the morning but otherwise perfect, with the course getting better each time we visit there. The field of 114 included 24 ladies and 90 men. We also had visitors from New Zealand, Tasmania and Victoria. Welcome to new members, Bill Miller and Di Tyrell-Miller who are members at Howlong on the Murray.

Today we say a temporary farewell to our new friend John Tolhurst who is the professional at Kooralbyn Valley resort and golf course. John scored 39 points today from a 3 handicap which equates to a par round but John was still smarting over a missed short putt which proves to me that it does not matter how good the round, there is always one that got away that would have made it much better.  Hurry back John.

The sponsor today was KENNEDY'S BETTA HOME LIVING of McLeod street Cairns and we thank them for the store vouchers that the winners and runners up took home.

Don't forget that next week we play at Millaa Millaa so coastal dwellers will need to be up early or perhaps you could consider a night at the caravan park adjoining the course or a room at the pub on Monday night. What ever you decide it will be a good days golf.

Next Game Gordonvale 11 July

All,

Our next game is a single stableford Consistency event at Gordonvale.

The game is sponsored by Kennedys Betta Home Living.

The course is in good condition with greens continuing to improve nicely, but after the rain last week the drains are, as usual, best avoided.

See you there.

President's Report & Results Cairns 4 July

It seems as though I had only just posted a gloomy outlook for our game at Cairns today, than the rain stopped and the morning brought a fine sunny day and even the course dried out considerably. Fortunately, not too many people read my posts or else they don't believe what I write as 68 men and 16 ladies turned up for a game regardless. The bunkers were GUR and we were allowed preferred lies to give the chance to clean mud off the ball but this was rarely necessary.

We welcomed visitors from Warburton, Howlong and Nowra as well as one new member in Chris Dunn of Cairns.

The sponsor today was DEBORAH DUFFY ESTATE AGENT as has been the case when we have had games at her home club, Cairns. Thank you Deb and we look forward to having you out for a game with us some time soon.

5 PM Monday 3rd.

I have just spoken to the proshop at Cairns G C and they have informed me that they do not intend to close the course and we are welcome to play in any conditions!!! however there is water on the fairways and in the bunkers and carts must remain on the paths. I will leave the choice up to the individual. I will be there to see if a game is possible so feel free to come and have a coffee with me.
regards,
Roger

NEXT GAME 4th July.

Hi golfers,
Our game on Tuesday is at Cairns and is a stableford event for the Ted Thomasson trophy. I had the pleasure of a game at Cairns last Friday and can testify that the course is excellent.
I look forward to seeing you all there,
Roger

President's Report & Results Half Moon Bay 27 June

Today we were elated to have 121 players for our stableford event at Half Moon Bay, this is easily our largest field for the season so far so the bar is set very high for Cairns next Tuesday. There were 98 men and 23 ladies and this included 10 new members from as far away as Green Beach inTasmania, Yallourn in Victoria, Charlestown, Cobram Barooga, Fox Hills, Kooralbyn Valley and right here at Half Moon Bay. With this little influx our membership has risen to 205 so far this year.

Our thanks go to Half Moon Bay club for making the course available to us and also for donating a carton of beer for a free raffle. The winner was Edna Atkinson so George will be pickled for several days. Thanks also to Mike and Gordon for cooking the hamburgers, I am told they sold out!!

The sponsor today was DRUMMOND GOLF OF CAIRNS and, once again I wish to convey my thanks to them for the vouchers and I hope our members will remember to support those businesses who keep our club viable.
