BEWICK HOLES OUT!

 

 

 

After 35 years of trying, affable Mareeba golfer Charlie Bewick achieved the ultimate in club level golf by scoring a Hole-In-One on the 143m No 8 in Mareeba during the FNQVGA competition this morning. With his trusty Callaway Stealth graphite shafted 8 iron Charlie, a keen tactician, landed the shot just short, it bounce up onto the green, release and rolled into the cup. His fellow players were heard to say that once it bounced it never looked like it was going to miss! Charlie commented that he hadn't been that excited since he scored the winning try for his Kuranda team to win the Reserve Grade Eacham Rugby League  grand final in 1978. Well done Mr Bewick!

 The largest field this year enjoyed perfect conditions at the Cairns Golf Club this morning. The 93 players (74 men and 19 ladies) were very appreciative of the extra bit of run on the fairways and the ever improving greens which have a nicely consistent surface. Thanks goes out to everyone in the Pro shop  and clubhouse for your assistance today.

We had 5 visitors today, John Burns from Cairns Club, Stephen Jones from Pine Rivers, Peter Clarke  (yes another one) from Future Golf, Gary Clarke from Pacific Dunes and Gary Meek returned from North Rocky. Brian Brown from the Atherton Club has rejoined after a slight hiatus. We also had two new member join today, Grant Turner and Yasuko Moote both from the Cairns Club.Welcome aboard. 

A special thank you to our major sponsor Drummond Golf Cairns. Just a reminder that the Drummond Golf vouchers won today have a 30 day lifespan, so get out there and cash them in. 

We wish our treasurer Bob Adams a very happy and safe two months holiday, well deserved. Unfortunately Dee Kottnig has resigned from the Management Committee. We thank Dee for the work she has done over the last two years.  And so we are looking for  someone to join the Committee, or just to help out on the Captains table over the next two months. Please make yourself known next week in Gordonvale.
