Next Game Mareeba 11 Nov

All,

Our game next Tuesday is at Mareeba, where you will no doubt find plenty of run.  The game is a single stableford sponsored by TGT Hardware.

Most of the committee are away in WA for the Veteran Golfers National Championships & Claud, Col & Noel will be looking after things in our absence, so please behave yourselves!

See you the week after at HMB.

President's Report

A rather poor field of 60 men and 19 ladies turned up on a beautiful clear day for a single stableford on our pre Melbourne Cup Monday game.  The course had plenty of run on the fairways & although the greens were a bit slow, they were better than they have been for some time. Congratulations to the greens staff & volunteers for the efforts they have been putting in.

Thanks to Drummond Golf for sponsoring the day, Tom Bryce & Graham Real for doing up the board & getting the nearest the pins ready & the bar staff for looking after us.

Good to see Gino Busoli from Gordonvale coming for a game.  Congratulations to Lily Schirmer for her Eagle on the 2nd.  I apologise to the ladies for not picking up that they only had 2 NTPs out & will try to do better in future!

Our next game is at Mareeba, but as all the committee apart from Vice Capt Russ are away representing the FNQVGA at the Nationals in WA (it’s gunna be hard but we’ll do our best!), some previous committee members have kindly agreed to fill the gaps.  Patron Claud is standing in for me, Col McDowall for Treasurer Di with Noel Webster assisting & perhaps a couple of others.  Claud will be emailing me the results, so I hope to have them up on the blog & to the paper as usual that evening, but if they are a bit late, please bear with us.

Next Game Gordonvale 3 Nov

All,

Our next game is on MONDAY (pre Melb Cup) at Gordonvale.

It is a single stableford sponsored by Drummond Golf.

The course has plenty of run & the drains should be no problem except around the bridges where there's some thicker rough.

See you there.

President's Report

A reasonable field of 67 men and 14 ladies turned up on a beautiful clear day for a single stableford on the Tablelands.  The course had plenty of run on the fairways & although the greens were in the process of being thatched/sanded, the club was good enough to open the back 9 for us which was otherwise closed for greens renovation.  Congratulations to the greens staff.

Thanks to Cairns Total Physio for sponsoring the day & Debbie & Owen for looking after us with sandwiches & the bar.

Welcome to visitor ross Ellen of Gordonvale & new member Paul Foster of Millaa Millaa, bringing membership for the year up to 299.

Unfortunately, Capt Greg again had to disqualify people who had not signed their cards or failed to put their handicap on it.  Some of those had good scores.  PLEASE make sure your cards are properly completed before handing them in, as we genuinely hate disqualifying anyone for such a basic mistake.

Our next game is at Gordonvale on MONDAY (Tuesday being Melbourne Cup).

See you there.
