President's Report & Results Atherton 29 Sep

The event today was played at Atherton and was the final round of the consistency trophy for the year. 73 men and 15 women played for prizes donated by DRUMMOND GOLF OF CAIRNS.

We welcomed visitors from Japan and Bargara.

I have been told that some players feel somewhat annoyed when they have to wait to be given a tee time when groups who have arrived after them are going to the tee. This occurs because some players enter as a group of 4 and we may have to wait to get another player or players to fill your group. Please be assured that we try to be an all inclusive club and we will not deliberately ignore you, so grab a cup of coffee and hopefully someone will sit and have a chat.

A sand iron was handed in today and the owner can contact Lou Siedle to arrange its return or collect it at Babinda next Tuesday.

2016 Committee Nominations

All,

The time of year is fast approaching where we call for nominations to the Management Committee for the next year.  (No, please don't switch off with a groan!)

We have had few complaints about the operation of our games & quite a few compliments, so we assume you are happy with the way things are being run.

However, any committee needs fresh blood if it is to continue to run effectively.

If you feel you can give some time to your organisation, please consider nominating for a position on the committee.  It really is not onerous & if you're unsure talk to one of the committee who will explain what's involved.

All you have to do is pick up a nomination form at registration, or copy & paste the form below, complete it & hand it in to us.

If you don't want to nominate yourself, but know someone who may be interested, please contact one of the existing committee who will happily follow up.

Next Game Gordonvale 22 Sep

All,

Our game next week is at Gordonvale & is a single stableford Consistency event.

The day is sponsored by Kennedys Betta Electrical.

The course has plenty of run, the drains are largely dry except near the bridges, but have plenty of lengthening grass in them, especially at the 12th.

Also, currently the lorikeets are having great fun stripping branches & leaves off trees, so there's plenty of leaf litter around for balls to hide under.

See you there.
