President Report & results Atherton GC 13 Oct 20

PRESIDENT REPORT –ATHERTON GOLF CLUB 13 Oct 20 

Hi Members, 

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Atherton GC and there were 76 players consisting of 60 men & 16 ladies. The course was in really good condition and the greens were a lot slower (which was good) than our previous visit and the weather was great. Many thanks to Pup for getting us going early on and to Brendon for the condition of the course. We did miss Cheryl`s smiling face but we heard she is having a good break at Mission Beach.

The changed tees 6 & 7 to 8 & 9 did catch one group out as they played the wrong holes in the incorrect order so unfortunately, they had to be disqualified but they will be all over it next time, everyone else followed the signs and completed the 18 as per the plan. 

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO “a great place to play”, many thanks to the Casino and I have just been told that they are sponsoring us again in 2021. Well done to the Reef Casino and I`m sure many of our members visit their establishment on a regular basis.

 I am just going to post another ad for our committee, if anyone is interested in joining our wonderful committee please see Liz for the nomination forms and your nomination can be voted in at our AGM on 24 Nov at Gordonvale GC. 

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Gordonvale GC and the sponsor will be DRUMMOND GOLF, I have heard nothing but good reports on the vastly improved condition of the course at Gordonvale so I hope to see you all there next week.

Robin

Members, Atherton GC have made some changes to their course, please note the changes below; Tuesday you will be using our new course layout, we have the new cards printed and tee signs renumbered 1-5 same ,old 8 becomes hole 6 ( where some of you will start) play in same order ,old 17th is new 15th then across to old 6th,new 16th ,up old 7th new 17th then back across road for 18th. It will be interesting to play a different way albeit the holes remain the same just have different numbers attached to them. See you all there and the weather is expected to be great. Regards Robin

President Report & Results Mareeba GC 29 Sep

 

PRESIDENT REPORT –MAREEBA GOLF CLUB 29Sep20

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Mareeba GC, there were 93 players consisting of 73 men & 20 ladies. We had one new member, Warren Galligan from Half Moon Bay GC, welcome to the Vets Warren.

The course was in good condition considering there has hardly been any rain recently, the weather was great but very windy which kept the scores down from the norm. Once again Ken & Gabi looked after us and made us feel welcome playing on their course, many thanks to you both.

Our sponsor today was Brothers Leagues Club which is greatly appreciated by our members. Please drop in for a meal and toss a couple of $s in their pokies at your leisure to show your appreciation of their support to the Vets.

Due to the fact that COVID-19 is still on the radar and numbers are limited within the clubs, the scheduled games at Gordonvale (AGM) 24 Nov & Cairns (Presentation Day) 01 Dec will now be amended to single stableford events at normal starting times 0700-0800 in lieu of shotgun starts. The AGM will take a different shape this year due to social distancing rules, last year`s minutes and all 2020 Reports will be available at Gordonvale 24 Nov for members to peruse and either approve the content or contest any part.

Andrina will be able to assist any queries posed and respond prior to the completion of the days event. Nomination forms for the committee are available so if anyone is interested in joining us, positions required are;

Vice President and Assistant Treasurer, please think about it as many hands make light work.

All other positions are being filled by the current members however, if there is an interested member for any of the remaining committee positions please complete the nomination forms and pass them to Andrina for further action.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Cairns GC and the sponsor will be Stratford Painting Contractors, Gordon Perry himself, hope to see you all there.

President Report & Results for Mossman GC 22 Sep 20

 

PRESIDENT REPORT –MOSSMAN GOLF CLUB 22 Sep20

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Mossman GC and once again our members turned up in droves, there were 102 players consisting of 80 men & 22 ladies. There were four visitors, Tony Monahan, Cobram Barooga, Chris McSween, Emerald Downs, Tano Caltibiano & Malcom Mckellar both from Mossman GC. There were seven new members, Peter Constantine, Julie Hooker, Bernie Boon & Neil Slyney all from Mossman, John Bell from 13^th Beach Vic, Jane Gryg from Cairns and Sandyl Kryiazis from HMBGC, welcome to the Vets one and all.

The course was in great condition and the weather was even better, many thanks to Lisa for getting us all out on the course safe and sound and for the Mossman GC committee for agreeing to let us hold this extra unscheduled event on their course at late notice.

Our sponsor today was the Oak Tree Retirement Village who actually sponsored us for 2 games earlier in the year but due to COVID-19 those games had to be cancelled. This extra game gave us the opportunity to move their sponsorship to the Mossman game which was greatly appreciated by our members. The Village Manager, Glen Donovan represented Oak Tree admirably and played a very good game of golf, we need to keep our eye on him and his handicap may require an adjustment.

Once again I need to applaud the FNQVGA committee for their very professional work week in and week out for all of the administrative tasks needed to complete games from go to whoa, well done team.

Next week`s game will be a single stableford event at Mareeba GC and the sponsor will be Brothers Leagues Club, see you all there.
