PRESIDENT REPORT –MAREEBA GOLF CLUB 04 May 21

Hi Members,

Well we finally got a game in after all the rain over the past two weeks. Today`s game was a single stableford event at Mareeba Golf Club and there were 68 players consisting of 56 men & 12 ladies. Not a bad turnup considering the terrible weather recently. NTPs are back as well as scoring your partner`s card so we are slowly getting back to where we were pre-COVID-19

Our sponsor today was the Oak Tree Retirement Village as they were for the cancelled Atherton game last week, they have sponsored us for 2 games so they will be our sponsor again next week. There will be normal daily event prizes as well as prizes for the overall winners/runners for the two week competition courtesy of Oak Tree.

Many thanks today to Ken for setting us up upstairs and looking after our members with carts, food, drinks etc, thanks Ken. Also thanks to the Greens staff for the condition of the course, very green and lush and the weather was just great as always at Mareeba.

I would like to thank our committee members for doing a sterling job week in and week out well done team. Whilst talking about the committee there is an opportunity for someone to join us as the Vice President as my time will be coming to an end in Dec and I need to pass on vital information to whomever will be taking the position of President, have a think about it and I am more than happy to field any queries.

Next weeks game will be at Cairns GC and as mentioned above Oak Tree Retirement Village will be our sponsor, hope to see you all there.

Robin

Atherton game Tuesday 27 April cancelled

 Hi Members,

Unfortunately the game scheduled for Atherton tomorrow has been cancelled due to bad weather and very consistent rain. The unseasonal rains have caused havoc with road closures but more importantly to us golf course closures. Many thanks to the Atherton Captain, Dave Morrison for keeping in contact with us as he is "johnny on the spot".

Next weeks game is scheduled for Mareeba and the sponsor will be the Oak Tree Retirement Village, lets hope the rain goes somewhere else and us golfers can get to play the game we love.

Regards

Robin

Gordonvale game tomorrow cancelled.

 Hi Members,

Due to the constant rain and the prediction of more this week we have had to cancel tomorrows game scheduled for Gordonvale GC. It is unfortunate but one of the downfalls of living in the Tropics. Please let those members who do not read the blog know so they can make other arrangements.

Next weeks game will be at Atherton and will be the first of two consecutive games, second one at Mareeba sponsored by Oak Tree Retirement Village. It will be a mini championship over the two games and the village Manager will be on hand to present the winners prizes, hope to see you all there.

Regards

Robin

Presidents Report & results from Mossman Golf Club 13 Apr 21

 

PRESIDENT REPORT –MOSSMAN GOLF CLUB 13 Apr 21

Hi Members,

Today`s game was a single stableford event at Mossman Golf Club and there were 67 players consisting of 51 men & 16 ladies. There were two new members, both have rejoined from previous years; Peter Klein from Cairns GC and Greg Gibb from Links Shell Cove NSW, welcome back guys. Greg was a previous President of the Vets and it was great to see his smiling face again, he is visiting us for two weeks so look out for him next week at Gordonvale and say G`Day, I would love to say more but I know KARMA will get me.

It was great to be back at Mossman in 2021 and many thanks to the Manager Ralph and member Pris for looking after us and getting us off in time. The course was in fantastic condition and the weather was perfect yet again. Scores below reflect how impressive the course and conditions were considering 45pts was beaten on a count back and 41pts merely received a ball. Numbers were down a little today and COVID could have something to do with it.

Our sponsor today was STRATFORD PAINTING CONTRACTORS (aka Gordon Perry) who only told me last week that there is no job too big or too small for him to take on and he will look after Vets members if they require a paint job so give Gordo a call and he won`t let you down.

Hopefully the wearing of masks in Qld will cease on Thursday so entering clubs will be back to normal again, keep an ear out for the Premier`s announcement on Thursday.

Next weeks game is at Gordonvale GC and the sponsor is Golf World hope to see you all there.

There were three new members all from Mareeba GC they are; John Hortin, Tim Lambert & Grant Cupitt. Welcome to the “Vets” gents and I hope you enjoy playing at all of the venues on our Program.

Our sponsor today was the REEF CASINO who are one of our great supporters and have sponsored the Vets now for 3 years. Please drop in to the Casino for a great meal and lots of fun in the gaming areas.

The course was in great condition, many thanks to the grounds team and for Ken behind the bar etc and I must say the weather was absolutely perfect.

It was mentioned that our Captain Russ Gill managed to win HMBGC monthly Medal last week with a crazy 62 nett, well done Russ but I don`t see your name in the results today, they must have cut you 2 or 3 yeah?

For those wishing to attend Wal Anthony`s funeral, details are: Fri 09 Apr @ 1pm, St Rita`s Catholic Church Babinda followed by the internment at the New Babinda Cemetry, Face masks are required.

The Passing of Ex Captain Walter Anthony

 Hi Members,

It is my unfortunate duty to inform you that Walter Anthony (ex FNQVGA Captain) passed away in Babinda last night after a courageous battle with cancer.

I have no intention of making the blog an obituary column but Wal was a huge part of the FNQVGA family and the Babinda Golf Club.

Rest in Peace Sir Walter you will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Love to your family.

Robin
