Club President Peter thanked everyone for playing as well as Brady and Felicity for helping the field get away and making sure they were adequately fed and watered on return.
Three Victorian visitors today, Bev Smith and Jan Smith from Hepburn, as well as Cheryl Warrior from Curlewis Golf Club at the bottom of Port Phillip - no wonders they are up here enjoying the great weather.

| Peter Walters conquers the 11th. |
The odds of an amateur making a hole-in-one is roughly 12,500 to 1. The odds of a low-handicapper making a hole-in-one is 5,000 to 1. The odds of a professional golfer making an ace is 2,500 to 1. The odds for the average golfer on a 180m par-3 is 150,000 to 1. So how did Gordonvale Golf Club volunteer Peter Walters feel when he aced the 11th at HMB this morning - bloody marvelous! Peters first Hole-in-one after 148,768 attempts. Congratulations Peter.

Sponsor: Change to program and Chiropractic Works Cairns is the generous sponsor for the day.
A very good field of 69 players (55men and 15 ladies) enjoyed perfect conditions at the Mareeba Golf Course this morning.A thickish fog gave way to a sparkling morning.If you have something too sell, real estate wise, then this week is the week to sell it!
The team of Green keeper Karl , and volunteers Jim, Rod, Enid and Bernie ( hole placer and weed spotting) certainly have the Mareeba course in a commendable condition. The greens are probably the envy of some coastal clubs. As you may know Mareeba is a good place to grow grass but it takes an expert to prepare a surface.
Thanks to Mareeba President Owen and his assistant Amelia for looking after us and making us feel welcome.
We had a visitor from South Africa Ralph Collis, as well as five new members Philip Smith from Exeter Tasmania, Jane and Michael Taylor returning from Hidden Valley, Wayne Pedersen from Atherton and Noel Webster from Cairns. Welcome all!
Thanks to our sponsors today Cazalys
